My need for service for a glovebox phone is very low. It is essentially zero, but I want the service to be available if I need it.
I'm using Page Plus paygo - $10 every 120...
Verizon does not have any new spectrum to deploy in mid or low band until C-Band is cleared for use. They are just using the same spectrum bandwidth for LTE and 5G and dynamically switching between...
They all used and use some in the 1.9 GHz range. Sprint was weak in low band spectrum and had to use a lot of 1.9GHz. That's why their coverage was poor. The same applied to T-Mobile until they...
Each purchase of service from Tracfone is independent of what was done previously. You can buy the next service through any of the available avenues.
I'm still rocking a ZTE Velocity that I got for $30 as a refurb - works great for what I need. I have seen up to about 30 Mbps on it while traveling. I get more like 5-10 at home, which is adequate...
You don't want anyone from AT&T going in your account. Say they see, "This plan is no longer available" and try to fix that by changing it. There is no way to get this plan back if you lose it.
Really simple:

It does not report upload speed. The tests use 300KB to load the page and 300KB or 6MB to run the test depending on which one you run....
I activated a phone purchased from TF in an existing account today. I used online activation, not chat or by phone. The 7000 rewards points were in my Rewards Activity when I checked a minute later....
I received the same yesterday. My 200MB for Life Free Plan stopped working months ago. I have not bothered trying to get it restored.
T-Mobile may call themselves The Uncarrier. That's just...
iPhones and Google Pixel phones are not limited to one connection because they don't allow carriers to impose that restriction.
iPhones and Google Pixel phones will allow 3 and 5 connections. I...
Hotspot is throttled to 5 Mbps on both. If the signal on either is not good enough to get 5 Mbps, it's not going to be a great experience.
I don't have an iPhone to test. Even if we did there are...
IIRC, T-Mo keeps Sprint's band 25 (1900MHz). Dish has the right to buy Sprint's band 26 (~850MHz) from T-Mo if they offer a price acceptable to T-Mo. There's not much bandwidth in band 26, but every...
There are several web browser speed tests. For really quick and dirty, I like: http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/simple
This is a fixed data amount rather than fixed time test. It will use the...
You can do the calls with Wifi, but still only free to US and Canada. Other countries still cost, Wifi or not.
Calling is only free to US and Canada. You will need a balance deposit in GV and enter the number with the country code - +33 for France.

IIRC, activate a new line within 30 days of joining Rewards for the 7000 point new line bonus.
Getting an Android phone unlocked at 60 days after activation will probably require calling the...
Court order, search warrant, or whatever, the police will know how to do it.
Thanks for the detailed info from experience.
I have decided to go with "add a line" to an existing account for 7000 points rather than create a new account for referrals. The new account would...
Thanks for the warning about refurb phones and rewards. I might take the chance. I don't want to spend the extra $40. One reason for wanting the E6 is that it has a replaceable battery.
I'm...
A phone for a non-technical friend switching from a feature phone and TextNow doesn't sound like a good combination.
You have to use the TN app for calls and texts. It won't receive verification...
Page Plus still has call/usage records online - not many prepaids do.
The OP was looking for the number from calls made with CallerID blocked. Page Plus won't have that info. They will have to get...
The Coolpad Surf has LTE Bands 2, 4, 12, 66, 71. Of those AT&T only uses 2 and 4. It might not work very well.
I want to get a cheap new phone to replace one of my old AT&T Prepaid 8GB storage phones. With the demise of Truphone I need something that is multi-carrier comatible after unlocking to use with...
Sock puppet reviews mean less than nothing.
