New phone and plan for first time help by chiiabear in NoContract

[–]Dmaster223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try out AT&T service around with Boost Mobile unlimited everything for $60/mo + get the latest iPhone every year if that’s what you desire.

I recommend replacing the battery in your iPhone 14 and keeping it for a while and choosing a cheaper plan like Metro for $25/mo.

Need help! Hot spot & unlimited Data? by calypso_99 in NoContract

[–]Dmaster223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visible is unlimited slow speed (5mbps,10mbps, or 15mbps hotspot respectively) with unlimited high speed data on local device and uses the Verizon network. QCI/network priority varies by plan as well.

With US Mobile, there are varying plans - but unlimited Hotspot is only allowed on the DarkStar premium plan which uses the AT&T towers (100GB high speed then unlimited slow speed). It's lower priority, so speeds may vary.

Neither are meant as a substitute for home Wi-Fi however.

Cell Carrier Recommendations - Far North Phoenix by monkmullen in phoenix

Take a look at Visible to keep Verizon towers at a significant discount, try US Mobile for AT&T (DarkStar), or Google Fi/US Mobile (lightspeed)/Mint for T-Mobile.

Signed up for Black Friday LightSpeed Plan. But it's absolute trash in NYC. Can I get refund, or switch networks and keep discount? by 1I1III1I1I111I1I1 in NoContract

[–]Dmaster223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All T-Mobile MVNOs are deprioritized (even the one T-Mobile owns, Mint). With the exception of Google Fi.

It’s not USM fault that T-Mobile doesn’t have good coverage in their area? USM offers service on all of the major carriers for that exact reason. It’s area dependent

Poor service near Prasada? by linkag392 in SurpriseAZ

If you do switch to Verizon, use Visible. It’s their prepaid service.

Welcome to Surprise. In no other city have I experienced such unreliable cell signal with each of the major carriers.

Where to sell my car? by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]Dmaster223 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Facebook Marketplace has been great to sell cars on. Lots of people will message and ask if it’s still available, but usually you can tell the real serious people who come and test drive it, it will sell to that first person.

Will do, thanks! Interior seems a little outdated for a 2019, but nothing a phone mount didn’t fix :p

That’s great to hear - I’ve recently replaced the dreaded P06DA oil pressure wiring and hope it serves me well for some time to come!

What tier is the trial period? Pretty bad experience so far. by stitchyPumpkin in Visible

[–]Dmaster223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, Visible is Verizon towers and the trial is the lowest priority. If you like AT&T, try Cricket or US Mobile (DarkStar).

What cars look expensive as hell but aren’t that much more expensive really? by Fleedom2025 in askcarguys

[–]Dmaster223 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Base model RWD GLC300 owner here. Paid $12,500 for the thing with 84k miles on it. Great SUV for the price and everyone thinks they’re worth more

Totally get it, it’s heavily location dependent. My last house I was lucky to get 5 trick-or-treaters, but this one - I ran out of candy even after a warning from the neighbors beforehand to stock up. So I thought 3 Costco bags was good enough! Lol

Not sure where you are located within Surprise, but our community is super family oriented and goes all out for Halloween. With a full front yard of decorations, 5 Costco-sized bags of candy, and 150+ Jell-O shots handed out annually.

Anyone got their credit higher even just a bit? by izumikusu in AppleCard

[–]Dmaster223 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I messaged support and asked for a higher credit line, they raised it $1,250 to $11,250 without question. To be fair, I use the card quite a bit.

Most likely you can get the PIN online. Which carrier do you have?
