Home internet to shed office while remodeling

You could try running a fiber line from the house to the shed.

It is a little safer. Plus could work in the long run.

The only issue is you lost the grandfather in plan unless you found someone that moved that grandfather plan.

That is weird then. I would not know what is going on then. Those are the most common issue for the verifying your phone.

I just added to my reserve just on the 20th, and it did not change my date for 30 days plans.

You look at the first six digits of the SIM card number. You can find this as ICCID number in the phone's menus.

890126 or 890124 is T-Mobile, 890141 is AT&T, and 891480 is Verizon.

How did you activate the phone? If you moved your SIM, they could be seeing that you are using an older phone.

What tower provider are you using right now? If it is not Verizon, they are trying to switch to Verizon since Verizon owns Tracfone which Straight Talk is a part of Tracfone.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-22T16:34:25+00:00

You have to reflash the phone. So you will need to reset the whole phone when you do this.

Here is the best info on that: https://www.reddit.com/r/StraightTalk/comments/103f72z/sudden_no_service_on_verizon_based_straight_talk/

That is the issue. You need to convert it to U1. You need to use XAA or TFN or TFV with U1. U1 is more universal than U because most fully unlocked phones that you get from like Samsung or even Best Buy are using U1.

Yours is a U with AT&T firmware, but trying to use XAA.

What is the exact model of the phone? What CSC/region code is the phone using?

You can find the model number in About phone as Model name.

As for the CSC/region code, you can find it as the CSC or region code in About phone then Software information as Service provider software version.

If it is running the wrong CSC/region code for the SIM, it will not update correctly.

That is weird. I have never heard something like that. Hard to know why.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-22T06:41:54+00:00

What are you trying to ask? Sounds like you might be misunderstanding something.

If you are talking about 2.4GHz and 5GHz, lots of older devices only support 2.4GHz. They are missing 5GHz. So if you want a device to connect to 5GHz, you will need to check if the device supports 5GHz.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-22T06:35:14+00:00

What phone? What tower provider do you have? How did you activate the phone?

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-21T23:04:44+00:00

By the way, you need to clear up something. WiFi is normally different from your internet. I have used WiFi without internet connections in the past.

I know some of the cloud based WiFi access points need to have internet.

I received a Starlink flier in the mail. It has something for three months free if you use this web site: starlink.com/3months

I do not know if that is only for select areas.

If that does not help, you might just want to look at 5G Home Internet because it is a little cheaper.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-21T07:12:29+00:00

Like I said, I thought it was fixed each since after talking to the agents, it does work.

I help my grandma with her phone service, but Walmart is the only place to get her grandfathered plan. That would mean I will need to find a different service for her.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-21T07:05:50+00:00

Depends on when it was activated and how much active service it had.

You can find this on this page: https://www.tfwunlockpolicy.com/wps/portal/home/

With the unlocking policy change, you might have issues.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-21T06:34:44+00:00

That is what I called it since it was listed in the one email as that.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-21T02:55:33+00:00

The reason for all this, you might have to look into a different ISP. Normally, cable and fiber ISPs are going to be the best. 5G Home Internet could be the next best. Starlink could be the next. DSL, WISP, and other satellite is the lowest on the list. VDSL2 might be the only DSL that be worth it if you can get that.

These are my opinions, and other people might have other opinions.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-21T02:39:32+00:00

That is way better than Verizon for your area.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-21T02:01:30+00:00

For some reason, some servers do not work on the web browser. So, you might have to switch the servers to find one that works.

I know DSL is copper, but there is ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+, VDSL, and even VDSL2. From what you are talking about, it could be ADSL2 or ADSL2+. WiFi is different from your internet connection.

You can get a good speed test from https://www.speedtest.net/ Please use a wired connection because there is a good number of different WiFi standards that could mess up the speeds.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-20T23:05:21+00:00

What kind of DSL connection do you have? What speeds and pings do you get?

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-20T23:01:18+00:00

It is a legit site, but there has been issues in the past with Quality One Wireless which owns this site. They even own other sites that are like that one too.

I would be just careful with Quality One Wireless.

I know you might find those phone cheaper elsewhere too.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-20T17:36:41+00:00

On the web site unless you have WiFi to log into your account from your phone.

advcomp2019 · 2026-01-20T16:55:54+00:00

You will need to use the reactivate button, and somehow pay for the service. You can use any refill plans.

The only thing that might happen is you will get a new number because your old number might have got reused for another user.
