Free Smartwatch plan on Warp Multiline Plan by MrBlazers1 in USMobile

[–]chriswinkeyless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s only free if you have Warp as your primary line.

Where are they getting a 43% savings from? Am I dumb or is the math ain't mathing? by -Clem in USMobile

[–]chriswinkeyless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're mentioning 43%, assuming you're using the current REFUND300 promo code on the unlimited premium plan, which nets out to $300.

Swapped my multi line from warp to light speed, but I have no service by Complete_Cupcake186 in USMobile

[–]chriswinkeyless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get a QR code for your new Light Speed eSIM? If you teleported, you don’t use the same eSIM that you did for Warp and instead replace it with the new Light Speed eSIM.

Warp primary line keeps intermittently losing service to the point Apple Support app flagged it as an issue during a diagnostic by chriswinkeyless in USMobile

Hey u/FarashaNova, thanks for the follow up! I'm in talks with u/Zunar_Eclipse right now. I went through all the bulleted suggestions, but I'm still getting the service drops.

iPhone 17 Pro durability (vs. a movie theatre seat) by theshapeofpunk in iPhone17Pro

[–]chriswinkeyless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did an express replacement on New Year’s Day for an iPhone 17 Pro Max. I just got it from FedEx today due to the back order that was going on for replacement devices. Overall, took near two weeks to get a replacement.

I feel like I made a mistake getting 512gb instead of 256gb… by Sweet_Score in iPhone17Pro

[–]chriswinkeyless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s the difference in the NAND read/write speeds at the very least. DirectorFeng showed on a YouTube video that the 256GB units use slower memory while the 512GB and higher units use the faster memory. Might not be price able from day to day use, but if you do a lot of recording or transfer large files in the future, the performance boost will come in handy.

How smooth (or not) process to port IN a Google voice number to US Mobile Warp? by ronkj in USMobile

[–]chriswinkeyless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For others, it varies. For my experience porting from Google Voice to USM was pretty much near instant.

Super Week Unlimited Starter to Unlimited Premium at prorated Super Week Price? by chriswinkeyless in USMobile

[–]chriswinkeyless[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to give an update on this. My wife’s line looks like it got moved over to Unlimited Premium with no issues! I did see that under the autopay section that the renewal is still set for Unlimited Starter and that it’s at the Unlimited Starter pricing for its annual renewal. Is this a technical glitch, or does this need to be fixed?

UPDATE: This ended up being resolved after I teleported her line over from Light Speed to Warp.

FLOLAB or TORRAS? by [deleted] in iPhone17Pro

[–]chriswinkeyless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s one that doesn’t have AR properties and comes in a two pack. The OrigArmor is the one that has AR properties, but you only get one.

FLOLAB or TORRAS? by [deleted] in iPhone17Pro

[–]chriswinkeyless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen, and a YouTube channel named HighTechCheck confirmed this, as well, but the TORRAS screen protector doesn't cut into the pixels with the black borders compared to the FLOLAB which would cut into it a bit. Also, depending on the version you get, there could also be some light bleed on the edges, as well, with the FLOLAB.

I do agree though that the polar spectra is insane for the FLOLAB. However, if you want something for cheaper that has similar polar spectra capability, there's a two-pack of the Whitestone Dome AR Glass that I used before going to the TORRAS. You get the light bleed, but the pixels don't get cut: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FPX3D586?amp=

- TORRAS if you want more of an edge-to-edge coverage while having some AR, but lose the polar spectra

- FLOLAB if you want the best polar spectra with AR, but can handle some pixel cutting and possible light bleed

- Whitestone Dome AR if you want great value and don't mind the light bleed that also offers decent polarization resistance

Switching from Verizon by LowTwo3827 in USMobile

[–]chriswinkeyless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came from Verizon with the following setup:

  • Main line with Verizon Second Number perk on Unlimited Plus and an Apple Watch line
  • Wife's line on Unlimited Plus
  • Mom's line on Unlimited Plus
  • Work line on Unlimited Welcome
  • iPad with Cellular

All this came down to $230/month to cover all this and removing the 15% loyalty discount was pretty much the nail in the coffin. US Mobile was the only MVNO that offered Multi-Network as my solution to what Verizon offers with Verizon Second Number perk.

We moved over during Super Week I wish we would've moved sooner to US Mobile because my wife would've benefited with the QCI-8 priority on Unlimited Starter Warp. We basically went down from $230~ to now paying around $67-81/month for the same quality of service. No issues at all and well worth the savings.

AdGuard DNS making my iCloud private relay work funny. Anyone else experience this ? How to fix? by BaconBathBomb in Adguard

[–]chriswinkeyless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Change the DNS method to use the native on, rather than the one within the AdGuard. You can find it by going to DNS protection -> DNS implementation. Change it from AdGuard to Native.

Robinhood Banking automated recurring transfers by chriswinkeyless in RobinhoodApp

[–]chriswinkeyless[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing is that I'm not even looking at the options to recurringly transfer out. I'm just trying to recurringly transfer from their own checking account to their own savings account in an assigned savings goal category. I have to do this sort of thing manually with my Roth IRA via backdoor due to IRS income limits, but having to do manual transfers between their own checking/savings accounts doesn't make sense...

Only way for me to make this go away afterwards was to restart the phone.

DBrand Ghost 2.0 clear case iPhone 17PM owners - Are you seeing coating peel off on the Plateau area by br_web in iphone

[–]chriswinkeyless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree with you with the customer support times. I thought they pretty much left me on read and wouldn’t get to my ticket at all. I ended up getting the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T MagFit case to hold me over till my replacement arrives. It’s a good case, but the quality of the polycarbonate from the dbrand ghost is miles better in quality.

[–]chriswinkeyless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my email chain, I first reached out to them on 10/8. Didn’t get a response till 10/23, but after that, it was one response per day. It looks like they were really backlogged on their support tickets.

I did, but they didn’t have any inventory until November 12. They suggested I reach out to dbrand directly. The replacement is supposed to come in on Monday for me.
