I just checked my generic, unlocked Moto G7 Power with Android 10 that has Page Plus paygo service. The hotspot will not even turn on. I had previously used this phone on Visible where the hotspot...
Demo mode is a developer thing. You can safely disable it.
Moto feedback can be safely disabled
If you disable Wi-Fi utility your phone may not automatically search for and connect to Wifi you...
The author of the article drank the T-Mo Kool-Aid to believe that 5G is the only thing that matters. That is patently not true and won't be for several years. The author had column-inches to fill and...
Verizon doesn't have the network capacity in urban areas to offer LTE home Internet. Too many of the cells are already congested. They have been very selective in how many and where they sold just a...
You can definitely activate the E5 with a transfer from the flip. All of the service days will transfer. They were never involved in the tripling. You can transfer the phone number too if you want...
I used one of my Family Dollar Tracfone Verizon SIMs in December 2019 to activate service on a Moto G6. It got VoLTE and triple units from basic cards. Don't know if they will still work.
Does outgoing SMS work?
Is the incoming SMS just plain SMS. Truphone does not do MMS or shortcode SMS.
Verizon uses mm-wave 5G for this. Mm-wave does not go far enough from the cell to be economically viable in low population density areas. They are not going to put a mm-wave cell out in the country...
This method is correct for my Moto E5 with Android 8. The different method I previously posted was what worked for my Moto E6 with Android 9 and Moto G7 Power with Android 10.
Visible doesn't care what phone your SIM is in and you don't need to contact them to move it.
I don't know about iPhones, but when I switched from one Android phone to another they said just move...

I don't think it is a sure thing federally with the Biden admin. It would not surprise me if it goes the way that the T-Mo-Sprint did with states getting involved to dip their beaks in the sweet,...
That may be correct for some phones or versions of Android.
On my Moto E6 with Android 9 it is:
Start the Google app.
Touch More then Settings -> General -> Google Assistant, slide off
You...
I think that is correct. I got them with a Moto G7 Power on Visible, a Moto E6 on Tracfone, and the G7 now on Page Plus.
The bad new is that it appears to use cell data even if Wifi is on. I just...
I did not need to add any service midway during the year. When I was trying to figure out how to do the unlock I did add a $10 30 minute card just before I requested the unlock. I don't think that...
Also, I was able to get my bundle phone unlocked during the twelfth month before the full 365 days. Don't know exactly how early they will unlock.
What you need is an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) of some sort. That is what your landline VOIP service used.
If you have broadband Internet, like cable, a Polycom Obihai ATA would be the best....
Mine has been in a alternative hotspot device for years. It still works fine. I just used it a few days ago. I rarely use it and not for much data so I'm not attracting attention with my use - if...
Correction:
The Optimo Maxx is the Tracfone name for a Moto G 7 Power - a 2019 phone.
I don't see why not. I bought a HSN Moto E5 bundle in December 2019 and got it unlocked in December 2020.
With the E5 unlocked it works with an AT&T MVNO. It used Tracfone on Verizon before being...
That seems odd. I have been using an E6 as my daily phone since January. My perception is that my G7 Power is noticeably faster. Neither are speed demons, but are adequate for me for what I paid for...
With the very real likelihood of overage charges the new free 10/10/25 plan is worse than worthless.
I cancelled the last of our six legacy free plans yesterday. We never really used them.
No...
Without going into the details of the specs, there is not much difference.
I have the G7 Power and like it for what it is for what it cost.
What don't you like about the G Power?
Yes, you will have to pay for it.
There are some exceptions on some services, like sending to your service provider 611 number may be free.
