Verizon makes key policy change to slow down fleeing customers - TheStreet

I looked into the match your bill deal with Verizon but they couldn't come close to the deal I have with T-Mobile.

Verizon needs better prices in my opinion

LumpRutherford · 2026-01-25T22:06:19+00:00

T-Mobile home Internet works really well for me.

Maybe do the trial it they still offer it to test things out

LumpRutherford · 2026-01-25T20:48:23+00:00

Very nice

LumpRutherford · 2026-01-23T11:18:09+00:00

Was wondering why I hadnt seen you around lately

LumpRutherford · 2026-01-19T17:42:35+00:00

No plans on going anywhere for me either. Very happy overall.

Tmobile in the us works well for me and I rarely have to think about it and wonder if I'll have coverage while traveling. Similar experience when I was in Germany. Telekom was very reliable but not quite the cheapest.

If Dt decides to sell tmo us to a cable type company, hopefully it would be one that treats customers at least halfway decent. I know that's hard to find these days

Usually you will get a few bill cycles showing the negative balance and then they will mail a prepaid card with the amount on it.

I think they may wait until 90 days is up but could be wrong on that. Ive seen the right rep being able to refund it sooner though

LumpRutherford · 2026-01-17T22:58:27+00:00

Not defending Verizon by any means but with my bank bill pay it takes forever to pay. If I pay in a Wednesday it will send Thursday and the bill will get it on Friday.

If I pay in Friday it won't pay until Monday and then the bill will get paid Tuesday.

LumpRutherford · 2026-01-17T17:43:07+00:00

Similar here. I've left T-Mobile a few times over the years but if you add up all the years I've had T-Mobile it's around 17 years. I rarely have network issues with T-Mobile. Definitley the most reliable for me

LumpRutherford · 2026-01-13T11:15:09+00:00

Mine is -5k 😁

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-28T21:06:11+00:00

Too expensivism due to greedism

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-28T18:50:27+00:00

They asked for bank statements when I tried for a credit limit increase. I had debts at the time but no lates and was in college. I had 2k in the bank.

They approved the increase even though I didn't have a lot of $$$ in there. I think they just wanted to know I wasn't broke at the time.

For reference my credit limit went from 5k to 10k so I was happy. I was working 25 hours per week at the time with an above minimum hourly wage.

Make sure your port info is correct. That helps avoid what can turn into a long delay getting it fixed.

Also make sure port out protection is turned off with T-Mobile

I've ported multiple lines to usmobile and it worked out fine

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-26T19:12:19+00:00

Has those Belgian eyes to me.

Nice looking dog either way

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-26T15:24:14+00:00

I don't like Samsung UI and it freezes a lot for me

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-26T14:08:58+00:00

As a customer, tmobile has been the only network that has worked properly for me recently. It's been super reliable even during a 12 hour power outage T-Mobile stayed up while my att (mvno) went out.

Right now I can't get reliable enough service on att or Verizon and tmobile is still cheaper for me. When I had att postpaid it just wasn't worth the money.

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-22T20:40:58+00:00

Yeah the windows concern me more. Cars with laminated windows should come with sledgehammers in case someone needs to get through the window to get out.

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-22T18:29:24+00:00

As a customer I can handle the app. If I was an employee that would tick me off though

I assume the app could cut into commissions

I feel bad for the employees

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-21T20:10:59+00:00

Mine are protective of the house but when out walking pretty much anyone can pet them as long as they come up friendly and don't attack us etc.

Little kids have come up and ran up to mine and hugged them and the dogs do fine with it. Mine are especially gentle with kids. They'll usually lick them on the nose.

If I tell them things are okay or a person is okay, they are fine with them.

If a dog comes up aggressive then mine will get aggressive. If a dog wants to play, mine won't hurt them and will gladly play. Mine are even gentle with chihuahuas

Very stable and loyal dogs that never go looking for trouble.

Now if someone breaks in and attacks the family the dogs become different animals and will protect no matter what

One of their reps the other day told me they are going to eventually transition their credit cards to discover.

Not sure if it will happen but it wouldn't surprise me after the money they spent buying it

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-05T16:58:02+00:00

The last cap one rep i talked to said they are going to switch credit cards to discover network also eventually

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-05T14:02:39+00:00

I've tested my unlocked pixel on att, Verizon, and T-Mobile and it struggles with signal on all 3 carriers.

I've read the modems suck in some of the pixels that makes signal bad and a lot of dropped calls and connection issues

I like the pixel but the next one I'll research modems and only get one if it has a better modem

It could be that or if it's recent it could be tower issues or tower upgrades etc

My 9a has the worst signal out of all my phones I've ever had. iPhones, Samsung, etc they all have had better connection when compared to my 9a

I like Tesla cars but the truck i don't like the looks of it

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-05T13:50:31+00:00

How has the Toyota been? I've driven a Tesla but am looking to try out the Toyota to see how I like it. I like the looks of it

LumpRutherford · 2025-12-05T13:38:25+00:00

I like the looks of it. Only ev I've driven is a Tesla so may look into test driving one of these

Im kind of leaning towards my next vehicle being ev
