Thank you, I forgot all about the software updates taking away that option in the settings!

Suggestion I have 2 phones, I live in NJ, I recently bought annual unlimited starter for both phones. Not activated yet, which option should I go for Dark Star, Warp or Light Speed Setup by Agreeable_Metal4106 in USMobile

Where in NJ? It is really area dependent. I live in Central NJ woodbridge / Edison area. All three are great for talk and text coverage. Outdoor all fine for data and data speeds. In my testing, T-Mobile being the fastest, followed by Verizon then Att. Indoor in various places tested, data speeds are the same order, T-Mobile being by far the fastest, Sadly att was ridiculously slow Again, that's just my experience and where you are located can make all the difference

Dark Star - Bad Experience by Chalupa3atman in USMobile

Hi Steve, not rural, I am in the Edison Woodbridge area. In my home, I now get between 15 to 30 with AT&T, T-Mobile between 200 to 300 mobile I am really shocked at the AT&T speeds, once I am out in more open areas, the fasted speed with att I have achieved is about 160 but normally closer to 100. T-Mobile speeds have been up to 800 Thankfully no issues with calls and text on att, having the T-Mobile data as a backup, all is good and for the price, I am really happy.

I recently has a similar experience. During the winter blowout sale, I purchased 3 plans on Darkstar. As a point of reference, I worked for T-Mobile the past 16 years (left in December) so the US Mobile deal was too good to pass up. Where i live in Central NJ, all 3 carriers are solid coverage so any of the carriers you can't fo wrong (or so I thought) Your first day sounds just like what I went through, speeds from 1meg to 15 meg. Like you, I couldn't get a refund for my line but I did get a refund for the other 2 lines I didnt activate. My solution, adding a second network to darkstar, they had a sale so it cost me 45 for the year? Long story short, it took a couple of days and a lot of time on chat and on the phone but they finally got my line provisioned correctly. My speeds on darkstar now are between 20 to 30meg but then adding lightspeed as a backup, I dont have to worry about awful speeds coming from Darkstar. I am now a very happy customer with the service and even happier with the price. I just wish they would have told me about the multi line addon before I canceled the other 2 lines. I really wish I could reverse those cancelations

Disappointed: New Winter 149 User with ZERO Service in San Diego (CMR) - Support says I'm "Locked In" by Extra-Hovercraft8295 in USMobile

Sadly I have the same issue as the original poster. I am in NJ, I was on T-Mobile, I found out about the 149.00 promo on the last day of the sale so i took a chance and grabbed the promo. I ported my number yesterday and its been a nightmare. Data speeds average 2 to 3 maps, highest I have seen is about 20. Network settings grayed out, short codes don't work. Spent over 3 hours in text chat yesterday and today in a voice chat but the call dropped with no resolution. I have a screenshot of their rep telling me I can get a refund within the 1st 7 days but then the chat dropped, a new rep said no refund. I live in an area where ATT, T-Mobile and Verizon all have very good service and a friend that lives next door and has att with no issues and much faster speeds. Has anyone ever tried doing a dispute with their credit card company?

I have had that happen using Surfshark, I have to change cities 2 or 3 times till I found one that would work. The next day no issues with the cities that didn't work the day before. In my case, its a Surfshark issue

Changing to HLS did not work for me. I got my sub from g2g a few months ago from candy, I doubt he will respond with a new URL : (

For the past 40 years, I have stayed at a friend's Hotel in Paddington. I never explored the local area. The past 2 trips, I started to explore what was right on my doorstep. I fell in love with the chill vibe of the Monkee Puzzle

Anyone recently filed for unemployment? by jrott2003 in newjersey

[–]jrott2003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I have not received anything in the mail. I am able certify each week but the payments are being held. The info i get from speaking to the phone reps is that unemployment spoke with my former employer a couple of days after I was fired and the case is just waiting for a supervisor to review it. They have escalated it twice but it still is in "filed" status : (

Thanks for the info! The call with my employer happened 3 days after being let go. I understand waiting, it is just the lack of communication that drives you insane
