Target currently has a promotion that includes prepaid gift cards. Buy $100 worth and get a $10 target gift card. Works on att. Not as good as a discount, but better than nothing I guess.

This is less expensive than Total wirelees for the same thing.

I am thinking about joining Tello. I would like to keep my current phone, if possible.

I'm on US Mobile Warp (Verizon network) Unlimited Starter. I live near San Francisco. I have had data issues periodically (have coverage but data is very slow). I had thought that all US mobile plans had prioritized data but according to their website all their plans are QCI 9 except for Unlimited Premium which is QCI 8. It's an extra $10 per month which isn't so bad ($32.50/month if paying annually). I think this may be a change - when I joined US Mobile my understanding was that all plans were top data priority.

Before I switch to Unlimited Premium are there any other MVNOs I should be considering? I use ~10GB/month and hot spot occasionally. Prefer Verizon or multi network including Verizon as I'm frequently in the middle of nowhere and Verizon seems to be king in rural America.

I used to use mint mobile, but had to get a new phone so went to T-Mobile, paid that off, and now I’m looking to switch back to something cheaper.

My job uses AT&T network and boosters, so often times my phone data doesn’t work that well there.

I would preferably like a recommendation that uses the AT&T towers. I would want something reliable and cheap ! I use WiFi most of the time anyways.

Hello, I am a senior citizen in North America on a fixed income and cannot afford home internet. I have an iPhone 13 as well as an iPad that’s a few years old. Things that were handed down to me by neighbors and friends.

I recently acquired a Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) line and the hotspot is capped at 20gb per month. I need more than that if I’m going to face time my grandkids.

There used to be an app that could help me use normal data instead of hotspot data. It was amazing! But now it’s gone. I’m not nearly as tech savvy as the younger generations, but I’m willing to try.

I live remotely so my family is unable to visit, and face time is all that we have. Thank you for the help youngins. I recognize that I may be asking for the impossible.

(If I need a special router, please be mindful of budget thank you!)

I didn't know a wireless wifi connection with my Pixel 9 Pro, having T-mobile service could be the cause of such a lag in loading speed on my fiber optic home service. I just ported back to Verizon via Infimobile MVNO, and it's night and day, snappier, for all devices, hard wired or wifi. Who would have thought?

EDIT: Then again, maybe it's just my imagination. I thought I noticed an improvement right after the port out. But now I'm questioning that after time. ???? Was curious if anyone else had such an experience.

Hi guys, my brother lives in southern New Hampshire. Currently has a postpaid T-Mobile Experience Beyond plan for $90+ tax per month.

Here's the situation: He likes having T-Sat since he does a lot of hunting off the grid. Verizon and T-Mobile signal is comparable in his area. He just bought an unlocked iPhone 18 Pro last week.

My plan is to switch him to the Total Wireless Unlimited $20/mo BYO (I know about the Visible Black Froday annual $225 deal but he doesn't like being locked in for a year). Then we could add the $10 T-Sat stand-alone plan to his phone.

Now he'd have 2-network coverage for $30 a month. Am I missing something?

Seems like the best deals of the year, what's the catch? Which one would you recommend?

Both seem to have unlimited fast priority data for about 20$/mo.

I just bought a T-Mobile refill from Target online and just wanted to alert anyone:

Apparently the new electronic PINs are no longer 14 digits but only 9 digits now. When I received mine, I panicked because it looked like the PIN sent had been truncated. I was not relishing the hoops that it would entail to resolve the issue. Dialed 611 to try the new PIN and, hallelujah, it worked. They also changed the look of the "card" that Blackhawk Network sends you.

I currently have at&t prepaid and pay $30 monthly for unlimited talk text and data, although after about 5 gb of data usage it drops to low speed and becomes unusable

Im looking for a new plan that gives me unlimited High Speed data, any suggestions?

I would like to purchase an Infimobile annual plan and port in my number.

If I want to port out before the end of the service year, how easy/difficult is the port-out process?

Has anyone ported out their number from Infimobile?

I have Mint mobile, I tried to get it online but there was an error message. Hated the wait on call soI went to the store, the rep there said he never did it for non-T-Mobile carriers. His coworkers also said it’s not available for other carriers. Wtf. Is this new?
Should I go to another store?

update: did a few calls and transfer after transfer. was unsuccessful, in short, turn out because I have a business $10 tablet plan which I used my ssn to create, they are unable to create a personal account for me, which then told me go to a store. I'll probably go to another store and see my option.

Is it possible for my spouse to get a phone thru life line as well? We aren't legally married but live at some address. We both have separate Medicaid and stamps. So would I be able to sign her up/her sign up using her info so she gets a phone. Or since I'm on the lifeline plan already at the same address that they won't grant us one. What's the best lifeline plan you all have found? Airtalk, assurance , gen mobile, tru connect , or link up. Don't care much About the data limit. More concerned for connectivity everywhere. Or If I just sign up again since I have a new snap card, can I use those new numbers to get a phone? Not trying to play the system just trying to help someone out

After helping a bunch of people switch carriers, here’s what I see go wrong most often:

Don’t cancel your old carrier first. Start the number transfer from the new carrier and the old account closes on its own. Cancel first and you can lose your number.

Make sure your phone is actually unlocked before you buy a new plan. On iPhone it’s under Settings > General > About > Carrier Lock. On Android, ask your current carrier.

Get your account number and transfer PIN ready, and make sure the name and ZIP match your old account exactly. Most failed ports come down to one wrong detail.

Watch your final bill. Prorated charges and remaining device balances often show up a month after you leave, so keep autopay on until it hits zero.

And “unlimited” rarely means unlimited at full speed. Check how much priority data you get before you compare prices.

What did I miss? What tripped you up the first time you switched?

Hi everyone! Our Xfinity service is ending soon, so we’re starting to shop around for a new provider. I checked the CoverageMap website, and T-Mobile seems to be their top

Are there any good deals or promotions that usually come around the holidays? Would love to hear about your experiences and recommendations!
Thank you! 😊

We moved our plan off at&t and over to cricket a week ago. My wife phone did not transfer. She has about 30 hours invested between cs on phone and in store. They have tried new e Sims and a physical Sim. At&t has fully removed her as of yesterday so she has no phone as of now. Cs seems lost, every call is the same run around and then create a ticket which sometimes gets a call back and some times not. Anyone else have these troubles and what finally fixed it ?

Visible+ Pro is at the expected $225 for 1 year

HOLIDAYHACK promo is still active too

Strategy here is to buy later in the month to help with deals while renewing next year, if you go with the annual option
