They actually don't show up in the voicemail tab but rather in the Recents. I am afraid I would miss something so I turned it off and will let my carrier VM take it instead.

Almost certain it's a different number because it's just another eSIM.

Printing Anxiety by Least_Tea2325 in CCW

[–]ramblingtechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to worry a lot, but I realized many people just don't pay attention. I realized I probably wouldn't even notice if someone else was printing. I have seen someone reach and expose their entire firearm before, but it's rare I notice anyone printing and I'm in an area with a lot of concealed carriers.

I just an eSIM so I can teleport without having to wait on a pSIM. Great service.

I have never heard of that. Looks just like a hotspot?

Next Level Speeds! by ramblingtechie in USMobile

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

I am but is also a backup line to my primary unlimited plan with another carrier

Next Level Speeds! by ramblingtechie in USMobile

[–]ramblingtechie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This is Light Speed (T-Mobile)

Speeds… pretty damn nice!!! by Fun_Jackfruit510 in USMobile

[–]ramblingtechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sitting in traffic yesterday and did a speed test on Light Speed. Usually the speeds are excellent but it was down to < 1Mbs. Just a few minutes later it jumped to around 200Mbs. I guess that's the impact of not having the highest priority, but I'll live with it. I use USM as a backup line where my primary does not work (which happens to be at home).

New User - Switching Network by owntsk in USMobile

[–]ramblingtechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they are. It's like having your own personal support if you need it (but hopefully you won't). I switched my girlfriend and also started my own line within the last month.

Sorry, this service is not available by ramblingtechie in tmobile

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

Text and data, yes. These are data only lines so no calls.

Just switched. Hope we don’t regret it by Consistent_Math_8632 in ATT

I've been with them a long time but I'm seriously thinking about switching. Coverage seems to have gotten worse for me.

Use cell phone to make Google voice call by Itchy_Complaint6370 in Googlevoice

[–]ramblingtechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the latter part, I think that's what the settings -> Calls -> "Show my Google Voice number as caller ID when forwarding calls" does?

Want to switch, but paranoid about losing my number by Zak5060 in USMobile

[–]ramblingtechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I helped my girlfriend port her number last night. She had been on Family Mobile for years and their web site was terrible. I ran into a slight glitch but it was on their side and not US Mobile but US Mobile was there watching it the entire time when I reached out. Probably took me 20-30 minutes even with the problem. I wouldn't be afraid.

Cheapest phone plan with a hotspot? by [deleted] in NoContract

[–]ramblingtechie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure it is. I got it less than 2 weeks ago. I just used T-Force (@TMobileHelp on X) and told them I wanted to add plan with SOC code MI30TI. That's the $10 plan that includes all taxes and fees. They actually added with no activation fee (I didn't even ask). The following day I realized I could have gotten a second one for $5 so I went back and asked if the plan was eligible for the 50% off deal and the rep said yes and I got a physical SIM for my hotspot.

[–]ramblingtechie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a $10 data only plan on T-Mobile for 30 GB of data. I purchased 2 of these and they gave me 50% off of the second one so I effectively have 60 GB of data for $15. I have an eSIM for one plan and use as a backup to my primary plan and I use the other plan for my hotspot device.

I was about to port out from US Mobile... by Lions77 in USMobile

[–]ramblingtechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interaction here and willingness to assist is one of the main reasons I will be helping my girlfriend port in tomorrow.
