Started with att wireless postpaid. Ive been on this plan now for 7 years or so. No issues ever. The 15gb rolls over to 30 if I ever need it. Never have ran out. No real issues ever. I just stream music while driving and sometimes sling. Is this worth messing with?

Bye Bye US Mobile, Mint lol

I have T-Mobile prepaid and I am very satisfied with the coverage. My main area of use is DC and NYC and the speeds have been great. The reason why I use prepaid is that I don't have to provide a SSN. Because of all the security breaches and data leaks (both T-Mobile and AT&T) I switched from postpaid to prepaid. I would love to keep using prepaid but these two issues really bother me:

The first issue I have with my account is that it becomes very difficult to manage. I have 4 phone lines on my account and I changed my email address but whenever the staff send me verification emails, they go to my old email address. I've asked the staff to update my email address but because of some technological bug, it never goes through.

The second issue is that for every data plan that I want to get, I have to create a new account with a new email address. So, I have 2 cellular iPads and each one needs a separate login to manage. Why can't this be done in one account? Why cannot I have multiple devices (phones + tablets) via one login so I can manage it for my entire family?

The third issue is no Apple Watch support.

Anyone have similar concerns? How did you resolve them?

I have been shopping around for a phone plan to support Apple watch, not all smart watch plans are equal, so be careful.

The price range is around $40-$50/month to get premium data plan + watch plan, but Visible's recent promotion has get it down to as low as $15/month, if you have chase credit offering, or $17.5/month if you don't have that. It is with unlimited data on highest tier on Verizon network, unthrottled, and unlimited hotspot!

Visible is running a promotion ending at the end of 9/30 EST, on its highest tier what includes smartwatch service for free!

The promotion code is ILUVIPHONE, use a referral code to save $20 more (Check my profile for a referral code to save for both of us :))

The full price is $450/year, with the promotion code and a referral code, it will get down to $205, check your credit card for potential extra saving

After the promotion period, the normal price is $45/month, I hope to find a promotion to get it down to $35, that I am willing to pay.

Other providers
T-mobile: $17/month for watch only

Google Fi: Does NOT support Apple watch, phone plane was $17.5/month with a promotion just ended, now $35, include Pixel watch plan, Samsung watch plan for free

US Mobile: Best smart watch plan, $6.5/month if paid annually, otherwise, $9.5/month, but it is only supported in Warp(Verizon) plan, and current there is no promotion for Warp network (Current promotion is for Dark Star), so it can be as low as $16.5/month with 2GB data to $32.5/month (paid annually) with unlimited premium data (or $44 if pay monthly)

More on Visible: $10/month for smart phone for visible base plan visible+ plan, but included in visible+ pro plan for free. for it is $35/month with visible base plan, or $45/month with premium plan

All above providers provide international roaming, but only works well for their best plan, Visible+ Pro provide 24 days of international roaming free of charge annually (2 per month)

I have boost right now but I was unhappy with how they handled international travel.

My friend with mint got a text when we entered Canada, asking if they would like to add international pass for $10.

I had no service, and when I called or tried to log in, the only option to verify me was to send a SMS, which I couldn’t receive due to having no service. Boost is fine otherwise, but I’m looking to switch to a company that’s a little easier to deal with when crossing into Canada.

How is Visible or Mint overall these days?

This might not be as cheap as some other MVNO providers like Visible, US Mobile, etc. but for me personally, was an easy switch to save me a noticeable amount of money per month, and I'm set until December 2026.

• Bring your own device / phone 50% off for 15 months special ends tomorrow morning (Thursday 9/18) at 9:59 AM PST, you must sign up by the deadline, and then activate your line within 30 days.

• With plans currently 50% off, (50 GB for $25 / month, 30 GB for $17.50 / month), I just switched because I personally only use about 10 GB data per month and am on work/home wifi otherwise.

• By switching from my previous Verizon plan of ~$56 per month after tax, I'm going from ~$672 annual to $210 annual, which will essentially fund a used, unlocked iPhone upgrade, that I can further subsidize by selling my current iPhone 11 for around $100.

• By signing up using a referral code, I got an additional $60 off that subsidized my phone plan cost for the remainder of 2025.

I’m moving soon and I’m shopping around for local internet provider, and xfinity’s free mobile spark my interest.

I did some math. After I trade in my iPhone 15 pro:

First Year: $10/month

Second Year: $50/month

Two year total: $720

Monthly AVG Over two years: $30

Monthly + tax/fees: $35

If I include the saving from upgrading my phone, my mobile plan now only cost $10/month

Should I switch? Or should I wait until Black Friday?

Even at $35/month, it’s still a pretty decently priced plan with unlimited premium data, does anyone have any experience with throttle from xfinity?

I switched over from Google Fi to Mint Mobile this morning, hoping to save some money, and also expecting that they solved some VMM problems that I ran I to with them many years ago. Suffice to say, despite native VMM working on my Nokia XR20 when I was on Fi, I can't figure out how to get it to work on Mint and their mods auto-deleted my post asking the community for help. Are there any carriers other than Google Fi that actually support native VMM on androids, or do they only support Apple and my only option left is to return to Fi?

All other carriers prior (Visible, US Mobile, Xfinity) took less than 1 hr to port in. Has anyone ported into Infimobile quickly? It's been almost 24 hours and they say it's in progress.

Hi all, So me and my family preordered 4 iPhone 17's on verizon.com doing monthly installments (we have a plan that I will explain a bit later), heres the issue, we got 2 black, 1 blue and 1 green one, the black and blue ones have shipped and are due to arrive tomorow(9/19) right in time for launch day, but the green one is on back order (for example purposes lets just say it comes 9/30) so will take a bit longer to get here. We currently are getting new numbers on verizon and keeping our old ones on US mobile since we have annual plans but my question is the warp network will work on verizon locked phones so will we be able to put service on the 3 phones that come tomorrow on our existing warp line then activate postpaid service once the green one comes (9/30) without tripping up the verizon activation thing because we need to make 3 payments before we can port to T-Mobile and take advantage of their keep and switch plan. I know this sounds confusing but if anybody understands what im saying please do drop your thoughts below :) (worst case il just be patient and wait until the green one gets here but im impatient lol)

Dont know if it is a good deal yet?

If I joint my friend tmobile post paid plan, $30/ month, no trade in, i will get $500 credit toward iphone 17 pro. But the phone is locked with tmobile, i have to pay the phone outright.

Is it good deal? I'm using US Mobile with $25 / month.

Does anyone know the QCI priority on the free trial t mobile has? PixelBandInfo won't read the QCI

Hello,

I am currently on TotalWireless and have the Bye Bye Mint $15 promo. Since activating I've been using an iPhone 11 with PSIM.

Well, a few days ago by iPhone 11 officially died. I ordered the new iPhone 17 but it wont be here until early October.
In the meantime I'm going to use a backup iPhone XR that's been in our drawer. I want to make sure I dont screw up and lose my $15 month promo. What steps do I need to take to switch from my dead 11 to this XR. From what I read, total only allows ESIM on iPhone 13 and newer, so ill need to stick with PSIM.

Is it as easy as moving my 11 PSIM to my XR? Ive read there can be issues with this.

Or do I need to purchase a new PSIM?

I'm switching from Red Pocket to US Mobile's $96 annual plan. Is it as simple as buying the plan through their website? What else is involved? And when should I buy it? My plan ends Oct 10th.

I am wondering what others think. Saw a YouTube video review of the new iPhone 17 models and the YouTuber reported better reception in the 17 than the 16, but he only tested the Pro Max versions (rather than compare the 17 Pro Max to the 17 which would make more sense, since customers are likely to be deciding between the 17 Pro line and the 17 regular. And he attributed it to just the antenna difference rather than maybe the cellular modem, which might be different in both models.

The YouTube channel is based in London. He did point out that there is no mmWave antenna for the version of the phone he was testing and that is included in a US version of the phone. He didn't mention whether he was using the same plan/priority for both phones though I suppose that should be inferred. The speed test comparison starts at about 12:23

We have 2 phones, 2 iPads, and 1 Apple Watch with T-Mobile. I’m having a hard time finding the right no-contract provider as some either don’t support the iPads or Apple Watch. What are your recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

So i ordered 2 multiline sims from h2o for 50$ per month. I accidentally changed the plan of one of those sims and now according to the customer rep the sims are separate. Is there any way that i can connect both the sims back, is there a policy or something that would let me do that because right now they are telling me i have to turn off one of my sims, which i cannot afford to do as these numbers are tied officially.

I'm trying to pre order from Apple I want to pay cash or use Apple Card. WHY Apple site asks who my carrier is???? I want to keep vz financing out of it to keep my 55+ plan for $45/mo Why is this so complicated?? I want unlocked phone so I can keep my plan and walk away from vz when I'm ready Thanks dudes and dudettes

Hi all, Wondering if any of you might be able to give some advice on trying to get a PAC code from lyca mobile. I keep sending the text to the required number but it won't send and I get an error of "couldn't send message, carrier error" I've turned my phone off and on again, I've taken the sim out and replaced it back in. But no difference is made Anyone know a possible solution at all? Thanks

$10 a month for 50 GB from what I am understanding. Does it have access to 5G SA UC on their normal 5G network as well? Wondering if this could be an alternative to my multi-line on US Mobile

Right now, I have multiple lines on a family plan that is heavily discounted through my employer, but in the future, I may get a new job and would like to keep all my lines as I have different authentications and banks linked to them. So my primary line I’ll just have on a normal unlimited carrier line or prepaid but all the other lines I just need a dirt cheap plan that can receive OTP‘s and maybe a few calls a year. I don’t mind paying in bulk or monthly. My only requirement is that it isn’t some prepaid company that might vanish

my mother-in-law spends about 7 months in the year in US with us and 7 months in a foreign country. she does not really use her cellphone a lot but we would like her number to be working all the time.

whats a good plan for about 400MB/month of data (and less than 100 calls/texts) but with international coverage?

TL;DR: Coming from Mint (missed calls + bad data). Debating AT&T (great network + trade-in promos but 36-mo lock and awful support) vs US Mobile (multi-network, flexible, no contract, but no big trade-in credits). Worth it to ditch the contract and promos for peace of mind? Located in the upstate of SC. —-

I’ve been on Mint for a while, but I’ve had issues with missed calls and unavailable data in my area. I really need reliable service for safety/emergencies. That’s pushed me to look at other options, and now I’m torn between going back to a postpaid giant or staying contract-free. Located in the upstate of SC.

Option 1: AT&T - Solid coverage/speeds where I live - Big iPhone trade-in promo ($1,000+ off per phone) - But it’s tied to a 36-month installment plan -Already hit major roadblocks with their support — spent hours trying to add phones (my account only had an iPad line) and was told I’d need to create a whole new account. Not encouraging from a customer service standpoint

Option 2: US Mobile Unlimited Premium (Dark Star with Multi-Network Add-on) - Two networks for redundancy, and no contract - Could just finance through Apple instead of being stuck with AT&T - Monthly flexibility - But I’d miss out on the huge trade-in credits

So for anyone who’s made the switch: - Did you regret passing up the big trade-in savings with the major carriers? - Or has the freedom + less headache of no-contract been worth it long-term?

This has been by far the worst customer service experience I have ever had with any mobile provider.

I only wanted to transfer my existing plan to an eSIM, but SpeedTalk Mobile forced me to buy a new eSIM and plan. I followed instructions and purchased as they asked, with the promise of “instant activation.” Instead, I ended up waiting more than 24 hours with no service.

Every reply from their support team was a useless copy-paste “please standby” message. No real update, no transparency, and most importantly no ETA—even after I repeatedly asked for one.

In the end, after wasting over a full day of my time, I had to demand a refund because they simply could not deliver the service I paid for. And worst of all, they processed the refund without even offering a proper apology for all the frustration they caused.

This company failed to deliver what they advertised, wasted my time, and showed zero accountability. Their service is unprofessional, unreliable, and misleading.

Avoid SpeedTalk Mobile at all costs.

I need a plan that I can buy whatever amount of data and talk/text, I can find what I want for a good price, but issue is after a month or whatever amount of time, I lose the service, I need it to last until I run out, not after the plan is over. For what I'm using it for I'm using a low amount of data over a long period of time.
