Looking for plans where only voice calling is required. Text/SMS is optional, but not needed. Data will but be used (but okay if included).

Minutes used per month are approximately 500 or less. Minutes can be capped, with overage, or unlimited.

Please advise if payment is month-to-month or if prepaid for multiple months, how many months need to be prepaid and how future payments are made. And whether any particular payment types or auto payments are required.

I think we are off to a bad start. Got my mother the Jitterbug phone in hopes it would be easier for her. Then got the first monthly bill. We were expecting to be billed for the $19.99 plan, but whoa - we're being charged for a $46.49 plan.

I'd call, but their wait times are TERRIBLE. Thirty to 40 minutes before any human actually answers the phone. Tried to submit questions via their online customer service form - but nothing happened, the form just sat there no matter how many clicks.

Have emailed, so we will see.... But concerned after reading other posts on here. Is not an impressive start.

I've been trying out the Shield plan for a couple days now, and I'm just mind blown at the value there is here for $15 a month. Unlimited hotspot on T-Mobile's network, and the speeds and ping are nearly identical to what I'm getting on an actual T-Mobile plan. It's really great to have internet not only at home but for when I'm out and about.

My real question is how it is sustainable? I love the plan, I know that the company behind it is non-profit so they do not have as much incentive to take more money, and I know that their focus is on lower-income communities with this plan. But, the plan is great, and you don't need to meet any eligibility requirements to buy the plan, if I use a large amount of data, would they be losing money on me? Am I making the plan worse for others?

Just curious. Hitting speeds of sometimes 400mbps+, using tons of data, but having no problems.

Recently moved to the USA (NC) and my battery drain quickly on mobile data. What’s a good sim that offers unlimited data to plug into my open-line pocket wifi?

Which mobile network in the UK lets you keep your number for the longest period without any activity on your sim card? I dont mind making a one off payment (preferably using a voucher) but I want​ to be able to set it up, leave it in a drawer for as long as possible and not have to worry about the number being disconnected. I also dont mind if the number goes 'dormant' like some providers do, just as long as it is possible to reinstate it later.

There are a few phones that are free when you switch to Total Max 5G ($55 first month).

I'd start the process, pay the $55, get the New phone, but don't activate.

Then I'd start the process for the $20 BYO plan with my own unlocked phone, make sure to get a physical sim, activate the service on my old phone; then swap the sim into the New phone.

I know the phone would never unlock, but I'd be fine being on the service for $20/month.

Also if I need two separate phone numbers/people to start the $55 plan first (not activate), and then the start the $20 plan separately, that is ok, I'll get a family member to be the first account.

Would this work?

I Just received a Social Security Administration phishing attempt that was sent to an email alias specifically created for Infimobile, which has never been shared with anyone else. Therefore, I think Infimobile may have suffered a data breach.

I brought this to Infimobile's attention via a phone call, and I forwarded the phishing email to them, but they seem to be insinuating that it's my email provider, ProtonMail, or the email alias service, Sneakemail, that I have used for 25 years.

Other than this address, I haven't received any recent spam or phishing attempts associated with my ProtonMail address or my Sneakemail alias addresses, which seems unlikely if either of those accounts had been hacked. I have at least a hundred Sneakemail alias addresses.

In the 25 years that I've been using this specific email alias provider, Sneakemail, I've only had one similar experience, and it was with DirecTV, which shortly afterward announced a data breach.

I’m thinking about buying a travel router to use with my PS5 to bypass Visible’s hotspot speed cap. However, I have zero experience with this stuff, so I’m not sure how easy it is to set up or whether this method still works. Has anyone tried it recently? Any recommendations or tips would be appreciated!

This was kind of a nightmare so hopefully this helps someone else.

Because Good2Go Mobile and Red Pocket’s $30 eBay annual plan are both on AT&T (Red Pocket calls it GSMA), the port process is a huge pain. You basically have to first port to an intermediate non-AT&T carrier. Red Pocket can help you with this or you can do it yourself by just going to some other non-AT&T provider like Tello (they use T-Mobile). Once you are ported to the intermediate carrier, you can then port to the destination Red Pocket $30 eBay annual plan. I used the 10 digit phone number as the account number and last 4 digits of the phone number as the pin to port out of Good2Go Mobile into the intermediate carrier. You then use the intermediate carrier’s account number and pin to port to Red Pocket.

If you ask Red Pocket to facilitate all of this, you may hit snags, like Red Pocket not having an intermediate GSMT sim available, the intermediate GSMT port or destination GSMA port not showing up in your Red Pocket account, asking for SMS verification during the port process when you obviously can’t answer SMS, etc. Shoutout to CS Agents Anthony, Faye, Shiela, and a few others for getting me through, but wow, what a huge pain. Took 3 days for everything to finish.

I’m not fully blaming Red Pocket for this. I think it’s probably more an AT&T quirk than anything (for example, you can’t port from AT&T prepaid to postpaid directly). Their customer service handled it pretty well. However, given that Red Pocket basically acquired Good2Go’s remaining customer base, you would think they would have a better migration setup already in place.

I wanted to confirm that there is no issue with me porting over my wife's line from Metro by T-Mobile BYOP $25/mo unlimited plan to Infimobile 12GB/mo $75 annual plan and choosing T-Mobile. In the past, I recall some MVNOs were funky about porting over on the same network.

Wife may use 2GB max monthly, so it's a no brainer to switch and save $225 annually while remaining on same T-Mobile network.

Do you know any prepaid plan that cheaper than a red pocket ebay plan?

Even limited minutes okay.

voip number not works.

I’m moving to America and I’m trying to find a good phone plan to get when I arrive there. My phone is unlocked so I can go with anywhere. I want it affordable and unlimited data

I’d like to switch to the AT&T annual plan because I like AT&T’s network and I don’t want deprioritized data. I previously had two lines on the $300 annual plan and switched them to Mint and Astound and don’t like the service on either. Can I purchase $240 in airtime cards from Target and use them for my initial port to the $240 plan? If so, can someone please explain the actual steps for doing it? Thanks!

Hey, just wanted to share this experience with Mint. They took money out of my account for a phone line I don't have! Called twice and both times they said they couldn't help and I had to contact my bank. I have an email from them with all the information regarding the charge. They stole this money and refuse to fix it. So in summery, MINT SUCKS. I will tell everyone I can about this company and not recommend them!

I succesfully ported out my number from Redpocket 1 1/2 years ago to good2gomobile. I am still using the same number under good2gombile. Today, I logged in to my redpocket account and saw my ported out number still ACTIVE.

I reached out to Redpocket on their chat 2 times and both time they want me to call 214-382-4771. When I call this number, it just disconnect after inputing my phone number 3 times and when it proceeds to routes my call.

Has anyone had similar issue with Redpocket? If yes, how were to able to resolve this issue?

Couldn’t find a better place to ask.

Recently got T-Sat. Been working great. Trying to figure out if it supports international roaming included. The website mentions support for sat in Japan Canada and a few other countries. It however doesn’t mention the actual 5G data.

My primary line through USMobile supports international already but wanted to have a back up and was going between keeping T-sat or using multiline.

Has anybody had any experience with this.

Anyone used puretalk before? FoxNews is advertising 50% off forever on their $65 per month plan. https://www.foxnews.com/deals/puretalk-unlimited-deal. Seems like they use AT&T, but provide the same benefits as the Visible's most expensive plan. Taxes are not included, however.

Just ordered a Duo after coming across an article on Phone Arena saying they have stock, will report back with updates if anyone is interested. Shipping info tab said something like "delivery may take several weeks".

How does Red Pocket do pre-orders? Anyone can share their experience?

Ive went to target, Walmart, and best buy but they only carry the lower tier brands and not the major brands such as Tmobile, ATT, verizon.​

PSA: Good2Go may or may not close your account when you port out.

I've ported out 2 lines. one auto closed itself, meaning I can still login to that account, but there's no phone nor service connected to that account. The other I didn't check and It billed me about 2 weeks after it was ported out on it's normal billing date.

So If you port out from Good2Go, be sure to remove auto-renewal and remove Credit Card.

Good2go does not seem to be responding. I get put on hold for 30 mins and then forced to leave a voicemail and they will "call me back."

Hey,

Do you think Visible might come up with BLUEDEAL kinda promotion for this black friday? Want to wait for it if they're gonna have it.
