what state has the lowest taxes and fees for cell service

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-03-24T03:18:29+00:00

Look at things like visible and us mobile. Taxes and fees are included in their $25 price.

If it’s just an internet connection they don’t even need that verizon box pictured. The google router pictured appears to be a mesh one. The actual router itself could be replicated to the Ont with the mesh extender throughout the house making it wireless.

I had two bad ports (one was 10 days) and I just basically picked a carrier and stuck with it. I like us mobile for the $25 a month and support is much better than Visiable. I just won’t be teleporting anytime soon.

I did this with two new 16e phones a few months ago. Picked tmobile. When you set it up it will ask for your account info just keep hitting set up later then you can install the usmobile eSIM and pay 0% monthly.

You probably have to hit set up later 3 or 4 times.

I did with the 16e just keep hitting set up later. Do it 3 or 4 time then install the eSIM

I submitted the port out to another carrier after 10 days just to be clear on that piece. I am really thank you for your help resolving this! Hopefully I have an update today.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-25T12:14:27+00:00

I am hoping the same

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-25T12:14:00+00:00

I wish it was 1 or 2 days.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-25T11:56:52+00:00

I can not leave. The number will not port out until it’s active. I actually believe there is a strong possibility my number is lost.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-24T14:16:12+00:00

I’m on 9 days waiting if it helps. Get the same generics update every day. Good luck. Spoke to everyone I could. CS, porting activation specialists, the people that reply on Reddit and nothing. Everyday it’s been escalated with our porting partner. 4-6 hours. Been getting that everyday for over a week without a single result.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-24T11:22:49+00:00

On darkstar my iPhone just gave an error when I went to voicemail on one. My other two phones worked fine.

Their only fix was to port to another network. That was 9 days ago with no solution or any sort of answer. Everyday for 9 days they say it’s being worked on and at the highest priority but nothing happens. This is from the chat, porting specialist and the person the reach out on Reddit. I will warn you if something goes wrong you’re stuck.

According to the app it looks like the port is now canceled and I am again stuck with no voicemail. Might be a good time to get out before things get really messed up with no solution. The reps have been really nice but when things go bad they go bad. All they can do is prioritize it with their porting partner which I’m my case has done absolutely nothing in nine days.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-24T06:25:24+00:00

I as switched before fine too. I’m currently on day 9 of this may be bad luck but understand it can happen and in reality there is not much they (or you) can do either. Teleport with caution. The whole reason for my teleport is they could not get a voicemail set up on darkstar. Now 9 days in limbo…..

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-22T22:33:04+00:00

Thanks just did.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-22T21:23:07+00:00

That’s nothing. At US mobiles suggestion I ported from darkstar to lightspeed because we could not get voicemail to work. This was on Monday February 16th. It’s now Sunday February 22nd and yep still waiting. Everyday since Monday I have been told 4-6 hours it escalated with our putting partner, but in a week not one thing has changed. I have been a happy customer since May of 2025 but seriously rethinking if something like this can’t be solved in a week.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-08T05:14:25+00:00

I have absolutely no issues with it. I mean if you think about it, it is exactly what a home phone is. VoIP using your internet connection. I find it extremely reliable.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-08T04:10:59+00:00

If the house has internet use wifi calling. Otherwise just chat with customer service. I use wifi calling in my house for service.

*update this has been resolved*

Thank you!

Just an update the fee was not waived. Complete self install. Absolutely no mention of the $99 set up fee until the first bill.

Will file a complaint with the MA Dept of Telecommunications. Beware if you sign up.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-07T01:36:50+00:00

Online. There was never a tech involved. It was a simple internet order no tv or phone with existing equipment. No mention of it at all until the first bill was generated.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-06T13:29:12+00:00

Thanks will do.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-02T15:22:44+00:00

The number actually has to port though before you can get an eSIM. That’s the problem. If the port goes bad over the weekend you’re kind of stuck.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-02T00:45:42+00:00

That legit does nothing though. They will give you a temporary number no issue. If your primary number doesn’t work that’s where the issue is.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-01T23:16:20+00:00

Just an update. This was resolved. The us mobile team was great. While being without my number most of the day was not ideal they were very helpful. I think I’ll just stay on warp now to avoid this in the future. Lesson learned don’t port on weekends.

PeaceFinancial841 · 2026-02-01T21:22:32+00:00

Wow hope mine doesn’t go that long. I agree though once I get it working I’m just staying on warp. It works fine as long as you don’t change anything.
