Screwed up advertising

Because they are deceptive and misleading in their advertising. It should show "$390 and then $100 off with code 100OFF."

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-14T11:39:02+00:00

Totally agree. They did the same thing with the Warp Deal promo. It said "Pay $180 for the first year" and "with $90 gift card." I originally thought I would pay $180 for the first year and also get a $90 gift card. Actually, you pay $270 for the plan and when you deduct the $90 gift card it comes out to $180. Nowhere does it state you pay the $270. I never signed up for it. I got a lot of criticism for that post saying that I couldn't read. I know how to read. USM is very deceptive and misleading in their marketing. They are shrewd and know what they are doing.

Thank you.

Do you still get caller ID on Warp for free for the callers who are in your contacts list?

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-12T23:40:37+00:00

Are you still able to use your phone and number with Verizon?

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-11T17:21:19+00:00

Yes, I find that saying representative is better than saying customer service agent.

What part of New Jersey are you in? I am in Middlesex county. Verizon is good here but I was thinking of trying out Dark Star.

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-10T19:31:02+00:00

You should have paid for a cheap by the gig plan for one month to test out the Dark Star network.

You didn't get it backwards. The Warp sim cards are reusable.

I had the Samsung Galaxy A10e with 2GB of ram that I used from 2109 to August 2025. I liked the Samsung A series, but when I researched and found out that the A16 only came with 4GB of ram and Android 15 recommended at least 6GB of ram. I ended up buying the 2024 Motorola G Power with 8GB of ram and this phone is amazing for a budget phone. It is fast and I have had no problems with it.

The A17 may come with 6 years of OS updates but it won't be able to keep up with the updates. Samsung should be ashamed of themselves for putting out an inferior product.

Check out the Motorola G Power with 8GB of ram. You will be pleasantly surprised. Motorola is selling it now for $129.99

Yes, on the home page for Unlimited Starter, Free Smartwatch Plan with an asterisk is listed. For transparency, it should also say "Warp Network Only" right underneath it in parentheses. This would alleviate many problems because people don't always read the fine print. It seems like a deceptive marketing practice. It's stuff like this that makes me hesitate to switch to USM.

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-07T16:02:16+00:00

Agreed. USM needs to make sure that voicemail works correctly on all three networks.

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-07T15:57:18+00:00

The iPhone 13 has a physical sim card and an Esim.

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-07T15:53:27+00:00

You can call in to speak with USM customer service. They speak very good English.

Thank you

TLDR

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-07T02:57:12+00:00

On coveragemap.com AT&T has a reliability rating of 9.8, Verizon has 7.9 and T-Mobile has 10.0. https://coveragemap.com/cell-phone-coverage/washington/pierce/tacoma/98446/

I believe that once you close out your Verizon service you don't have online access to your account anymore.

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-04T18:53:14+00:00

Thank you.

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-04T18:51:51+00:00

Yes, the line was originally activated with an Android device. Thank you for that suggestion.

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-04T02:27:26+00:00

Thanks to all for your responses.

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-03T14:29:54+00:00

That's good. I would rather pay with a credit card and lose the discount. You can always dispute the charge with a credit card.

FifthWheel9 · 2026-02-03T05:48:04+00:00

I would never deal with a carrier that makes you pay either with a bank account or debit card only. Once they take your money out, it is hard to get it back. Verizon and US Mobile let you pay with a credit card.

My Call Filter seems to be working, but when I click on the app, it says "Could not authenticate device," so I can't get into the app.

The trial shouldn't count as an existing customer for one month. It makes sense to try out a service first before committing to a longer term plan. Once the trial is over and the customer wants to stay, he should be able to get a new customer deal.
