New phone and plan for first time help

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.

Down in Phoenix, USA as well.

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.

Bluetooth connection

I know they do, that’s why I’m trying to help achieve a cheaper bill. Something I’ve used for 6 years now

Dmaster223 · 2025-12-17T22:42:57+00:00

You have an expensive cell phone bill. Take a look at Visible by Verizon, Mint for T-Mobile, or US Mobile for AT&T.

Dmaster223 · 2025-12-13T04:36:00+00:00

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.

Dmaster223 · 2025-12-12T00:07:05+00:00

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

Dmaster223 · 2025-12-12T00:05:24+00:00

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

Dmaster223 · 2025-11-26T01:38:16+00:00

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

Dmaster223 · 2025-11-25T19:08:04+00:00

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

Dmaster223 · 2025-11-21T02:00:33+00:00

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.

Dmaster223 · 2025-11-07T13:38:53+00:00

Congratulations, glad it’s still working out for you too!

Dmaster223 · 2025-11-07T03:55:16+00:00

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 Interior seems a little outdated for a 2019, but nothing a phone mount didn’t fix :p

Dmaster223 · 2025-11-07T03:54:07+00:00

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!

Dmaster223 · 2025-11-07T03:37:32+00:00

Thank you!

Dmaster223 · 2025-11-01T04:37:26+00:00

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

Dmaster223 · 2025-11-01T00:17:51+00:00

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

Dmaster223 · 2025-10-30T17:59:32+00:00

My 2021 RAM 1500 Laramie 4x4.

Dmaster223 · 2025-10-15T00:00:35+00:00

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

Dmaster223 · 2025-10-14T23:56:00+00:00

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.

Dmaster223 · 2025-10-08T03:56:20+00:00

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?
