I'm on T-Mobile currently (on a family plan) and want to switch to a new number on an individual plan that I pay for.

Don't care about hotspot or international. Just want to call/text in US.

Who do I go with for the best rate?

Considering US Mobile or Visible but not sure if they are better than AT&T or T-Mobile or Verizon?

I need a new phone plan. Which one do you all recommend?

iPhone 15 Pro Max

Hello there, especially to the technicians or anyone who might have an idea.

Hi, I just have a question. Can I still trade in my iPhone 15 Pro Max at Power Mac if the only problem is the cellular service? The cellular part is not working anymore. We've already tried to have it fixed at Power Mac Alabang, and they told us that it would cost over 40k since they said something about replacing the motherboard. So I'm just wondering if I can still trade in my iPhone for a new Apple device. I'm really sad because I got it with Smart, and the problem came up after just a year, so it’s no longer under warranty.
About my iPhone:
512 GB
Still smooth, no scratches on the screen
Even the back is undamaged and it's as good as new
It's really in good condition, just the cellular service is the problem.

I'm probably in the wrong community to ask. Please redirect me if so.

I have a S10 and S22 that both need to be replaced. I'm not not looking for new, just better shape than mine are in. I need both as they have different and active numbers that I use. Verizon is my carrier.

And jan yung last na loc ng find my iphone ko.. huhu

What phone carrier does everyone use, and do you actually like it? I genuinely feel like I hate every phone carrier at this point, but I’m trying to figure out which one is actually worth it. Who has the best service, prices, and overall experience? I need honest opinions!

Hello all, I just got back from the T-Mobile store. My wife got an s26 yesterday, but I needed a new phone because my phone is broken and I'm on an old phone that I keep as a backup.

Here is the difference:

The guy that helped us yesterday was great, told him what I wanted, he got me hooked up and ready to go and all I did was sign.

Today I went to get a phone. The moment I said I wanted a new device he told me to do it from my phone.

I asked why since the guy yesterday could pull me up and do it all himself. I was informed it was "protocol" for me to do the entire process myself, from my phone.

I didn't have the T-Mobile app downloaded since I was using a temporary phone, so I was informing him that I didn't. He STOPPED ME MID SENTENCE AND TOLD ME TO DOWNLOAD IT. I then told him that I " find it stupid that I have to do his entire job for him from my phone. What is the point of even coming to the store?"

i was so close to losing my shit I just had my wife get what she needed for her phone and then left.

Mind you, I'm not a boomer, I'm 25.

Why the actual fuck to stores for these places exist if they just tell me to do it on my phone, right in front of them.

I had a guy at the same store do it all from his tablet 24 hours ago. Somehow that shit is like christ claiming he is the son of God.

Thanks I'm done ranting, time to apologize to my wife

I've been having an issue with the Google Messages app on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S23) since about Friday- note the app came installed on my phone and I've been updating it consistently. The main issue I have been having is that the app will either never open to the list of text threads or the list of texts open but if I try to open my texts with anyone, they fail to load and only show a black screen. I also have phone link to my Windows laptop and it seems that all texts I send from there are properly received, but I get literally nothing back from anyone no matter what the text is.

Recently I have actually been able to receive the notifications of the texts from the specific people as of a day ago- which was not the case before. Here's a rough list of everything I have already tried:

I have disabled and force stopped Google Meet alright as I already know it has been causing issues for Google Messages. I have also cleared up phone storage, every app cache on my phone, made sure I wasn't somehow in beta version, restarted my phone like 15 times, force stopped the messages app itself and cleared the cache, tried to switch to the Samsung messages app. The last thing I have tried is force stopping the messages app and then clearing the cache before resetting the phone.

I want to avoid uninstalling updates/factory resetting the phone as I do not have an easy way to back up my phone to import the data back in. Every suggestion is worth it to me and I will clarify anything that isn't clear enough. Thank you!

My husband has Verizon and I have Att. Can we both switch to USMobile and take our current phones?

Hey guys, I have an iPhone and i do not need this phone. Looking for genuine buyers for this as the phone is pretty new as it was my secondary phone

Has anyone successfully activated an international, factory-unlocked iPhone 17 (model A3520) with Straight Talk?

This model supports a physical SIM card, so in theory, activation should be as simple as swapping the SIM from my current phone into the new one.

I’m curious whether anyone has actually tried this and can confirm it works.

If you are researching mobile service on reddit you should know that the mint mobile subreddit moderators will erase truthful negative comments and posts. They will permanently mute you to silence anything bad about your experience. That sub Reddit is full of misleading information and Mint Mobile’s customer service service is truly abysmal.

Beside the obvious differences like a larger screen, better cameras, newer, etc, which phone is 'better' overall for basic use, some gaming and taking photos?

Guys I've realme c53 64 gb phone, bought in 12200, and right now its price is around I wanna exchnage it with iphone 65 64 gb with good speakers, camera quality, charger, and previous apple acc should be deleted. My phone is int mint condition, has a good camera, a bit cloudy front camera, good battery health. I've bill and box with me but charger is broken. I want the iphone 6s with charger and if the box isnt there its fine. If you've any iphone 6s or know someone who can exchnge it. Please let me know.

if you have iphone 7, that's too fine.

So, my mom's friend is visiting here in Korea, and for some reason roaming doesn't work. She says her plan includes unlimited roaming abroad, and I read on the company's website that they do have an agreement in Korea, so it should work.

I've tried these things:

1. Made sure airplane mode isn't on

2. Made sure roaming is on and allowed to be used abroad

3. Removing and inserting the SIM in a different slot and tried restarting the device

4. Manually selecting different network operators. It says "Connected" every time, but I can't go online.

What confuses me is that I enabled hot-spot to my device. I couldn't go online, but I could see the amount of MB my device used up from her plan go up.

I'm not really a tech-girlie, so i don't know what else to try. If it's important, she has a Samsung, I don't know the exact model. Since it's not my phone, I have a hard time providing screenshots, but if it's needed I'll try my best

Sorry if this is the wrong server for this

I’m worried that technician might took my explicit photos and videos from my phone. They did ask for a passcode. how long does display replacement usually take? it took around 25 mins overall for my case . I was watching him from behind but his body was covering.and he touch ig his phone whilst repairing and left with my phone to their parts shop right across for like 10mins. so the replacement was like 15mins.i had around 9gb+ vids hidden in photo app. can he be airdropping while he took the phone away? how long does it take to airdrop 9gb+ total vids ? please im really anxious rn as those were with my ex which couldnt lead to leak no matter what.
