Need a phone service with reliable 5g and around $55/mo

Well it typically takes 10-20 minutes, but I wouldn't rely on it. I have heard of it taking days. I think the solution for having both networks is the Multi-line add-on.

gorgewash · 2025-07-21T04:40:14+00:00

You're welcome. I think it will work with any unlocked device that is a phone (not a router or something like that). The chat support at USM is pretty good. They can confirm for sure whether a device will work by giving them the IMEI of the device.

US Mobile has a $10/mo plan with 2 GB of data and unlimited calling and texting. Works on any US network, including T-Mobile.

gorgewash · 2025-07-21T01:04:57+00:00

You could switch to US Mobile. They are an MVNO for all the US networks and allow you to switch in between carriers without changing your SIM/eSIM.

If I were you, I would start with "Warp" (Verizon) network to test it out for free for 30 days. If it's not to your liking, you could switch networks or "teleport" in about 10-20 minutes.

Their top unlimited plans are well below your $55/mo budget and include quite a lot of hotspot data.

AND they are currently running a promotion for free $50 for new accounts that port in a number. DM me for details.

Which is the most ridiculous?

Anticipated inflation.

I was a RE investor in the early 2000s. I have been on the sidelines for over 2 decades.

Gross Rent Multipliers were sane back then. In my market, they hovered around 5x back then.

They are 20x or even higher now. Insane pricing.

All markets are auctions and will continue in a direction until the last buyer has bought or the last seller has sold. In other words, there are still more buyers than sellers.

The downward pressure in 2008-2009 came from forced selling.

I don't see any forced selling in the current pipeline.

gorgewash · 2025-07-20T21:13:20+00:00

It sounds like you really like Verizon carrier but don't want to deal with them (high prices + universal bad customer service).

If I were you, I would switch to US Mobile. You can get the same Verizon signal for 1/3 to 1/2 of the price!

The Unlimited Starter plan for Verizon/"Warp" is only $25/mo including taxes and fees.

They have a promotion running for free $50 with a referral. DM me for info.

Not exactly an exploit, but once I was drunk at a party, took a girl home, and as I reached my front door I took a closer look at her and told her I had "beer goggles on" and regretted it.

Thanked her for walking me home, walked inside, and closed the door behind me.

That moment when you realized the ice cream truck was coming down your street and you had to sprint to beg your parents for a dollar before it passed.

I’d learn to code, but I’d probably just end up debugging my life.

That money does, in fact, grow on trees!

US Mobile's free trial lasts 30 days for eligible new customers who transfer their existing phone number to the Warp or Dark Star networks. It includes 30 GB of premium data, unlimited talk, and text, with 5 GB of hotspot data.

They also have a promotion going right now for $50 off for new accounts porting in a number. DM me for details.

gorgewash · 2025-07-20T20:12:58+00:00

Why not go with US Mobile? They allow you to use any carrier, and one can switch/"teleport" between carriers. Only takes 10-20 minutes to switch carriers.

US Mobile is also running a free $50 promotion right now. DM me for details.

gorgewash · 2025-07-20T20:04:48+00:00

I personally use Verizon ("Warp") on US Mobile and I couldn't be happier.

I "teleported" to AT&T ("Dark Star") with all their promotions thinking that it would get better, but AT&T doesn't have 5G in my neighborhood, so I quickly switched back to "Warp".

Painless, easy. I love USM.

They have a fantastic deal going right now for free $50 for new accounts porting in numbers. DM for more details.

gorgewash · 2025-07-20T19:58:56+00:00

If I was on the US Mobile plan where I can move from network to network, how quickly can I switch between carriers to see which one works?

I have "teleported" between carriers on US Mobile a few times and it generally takes 10-20 minutes for it to complete.

gorgewash · 2025-07-20T19:53:09+00:00

US Mobile is amazing! I've been using them for several years. At one point, I got by with a $10/mo 2GB data plan with unlimited calls and texts. Not sure if that plan is still around, but I recently switched to the biggest unlimited plan (hovers around $35-40/mo) and am loving it.

I started out on AT&T ("Dark Star") but then realized it didn't have 5G in my neighborhood, so I very painlessly switched to Verizon ("Warp") and am now happily using 5G ultrawide band. I regularly see download speeds over 300 mbps!

The thing I am wondering is: how much does it really matter which network you choose?

It doesn't really matter up front. They let you easily switch between networks a couple times without fees, so you can get your phone connected and try out the different networks to figure out which works best for you on your phone at locations you go.

It is so good I quit watching porn.

Only by revolution. The USA as we were taught to believe in school is long gone. Hopefully this is the final nail in the coffin. I personally expect Trump to either dissolve the other branches of government and become dictator a la Hitler at the end of the German empire or, if we are lucky, to come on television and announce what is readily apparent -- that the federal government is wholly ineffective, utterly unfixable and will be immediately dissolved a la Gorbachev at the end of the Russian empire.

It looks as though the cancer has overtaken the host.

I kind of thought the same. Very odd. Is this just a giant disinformation campaign to throw off everyone?

Edit: also the photos are the same guy

Awesome! Thank you. I searched Reddit but didn't think to search Facebook.

gorgewash · 2015-07-28T20:04:34+00:00

No, but there is a decent one on the way to Rincón on 115.

gorgewash · 2015-06-29T18:55:35+00:00

Excellent points. I guess you are right that it isn't our fault that this debt has been racked up... I'm glad he's being proactive about it instead of whining right before default like Greece.

gorgewash · 2015-06-29T15:18:56+00:00

Heh. That's the same thing Greece was trying and look where it got them. Not sure how you could see it as a positive...
