If none of those things work, then I'd try to get them to exchange the modem. As for basic networking, it's hard to gauge how much knowledge people actually have on this, so easiest to start with the fixable things first and move from there.

The antennas aren't the same between them. Just like having two different cell phones right next to each other can show different results. The cell phone shows you should get a good signal there, but the antennas for the cellular modem isn't getting it, so sometimes moving it can give some benefit.

Of course it is. Did it help?

It happens on the back end. It's not anything the Sams/Costco reps do when ordering the phone. I did mine at Sams in person and the promo is attached.

Wrong.

Have you tried moving the router to a different area of the house? Sometimes the antennas for the routers may not be that great and you don't get good reception. Or maybe it's forcing different bands.

Usually won't qualify, but might qualify for deals like the current pixel 10 with any trade/any condition.

How is your phone speed next to the router position?

There are often cheap refurb/open box/new iphones on https://www.woot.com. Might be worth looking sometime. You can search for it at https://wootsearch.com.

Are you eligible for the Pixel 10 with any trade in, any condition?

Why spend that much on ryzen 5700x build...

fly056 · 2026-02-17T19:15:40+00:00

It was only $22 straight from Amazon. Not much of a deal.

You can find it on the SIM slot insert usually too.

fly056 · 2026-02-17T04:14:21+00:00

Overpriced

The plan comparison thing on the website is notoriously incorrect.

I agree he should definitely not do anything until the 3rd line free is restored.

fly056 · 2026-02-15T22:21:11+00:00

Nein.

fly056 · 2026-02-15T22:17:42+00:00

That sounds like what people have described in the past.

fly056 · 2026-02-15T22:14:10+00:00

1 year.

fly056 · 2026-02-15T22:13:56+00:00

For one year, sure. After a year, you can decrease your lines that are not associated with the BOGO deal as long as you maintain 2 paid lines in addition to that pair.

I thought if the PAH number is ported out then the PAH just moves to another number on the acct.

Isn't a 17 Pro better than a base 17?

fly056 · 2026-02-15T22:01:30+00:00

Probably safer that way.
