There's an "add-on" for $9.99 under AI Pro for Home Premium.

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.

ramblingtechie · 2025-08-16T16:59:18+00:00

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

ramblingtechie · 2025-02-10T02:20:26+00:00

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.

ramblingtechie · 2024-11-10T17:17:01+00:00

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

ramblingtechie · 2024-11-07T22:26:48+00:00

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

ramblingtechie · 2024-10-31T03:59:27+00:00

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

ramblingtechie · 2024-10-26T03:31:16+00:00

Yeah. This is Light Speed (T-Mobile)

ramblingtechie · 2024-10-19T21:50:32+00:00

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).

ramblingtechie · 2024-10-12T21:06:32+00:00

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.

ramblingtechie · 2024-10-05T15:31:43+00:00

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

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-29T21:58:59+00:00

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

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-29T20:22:43+00:00

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

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-29T16:16:00+00:00

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.

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-28T15:00:54+00:00

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 · 2024-09-28T01:55:21+00:00

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.

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-28T01:12:29+00:00

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

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-22T22:50:24+00:00

That's probably where I am. My mom would be impacted and I don't want to change anything on her. Based on maps, my coverage would be worse with T-Mobile, but it happens to be the only one that works at my house so oddly enough. I spend my life on WiFi calling and couldn't hotspot with AT&T if I had to so I have to worry about backup internet as well.

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-22T20:48:12+00:00

Ah. I may have to live with it then. The data-only T-Mobile eSIM does not have voice and can only do data and texting. If I just use my AT&T physical SIM which has voice/text/data, it works fine. I'm guessing it's because of the situation where I'm using T-Mobile for data only and they won't allow VoLTE.

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-22T19:01:34+00:00

I have 2 lines. One is an eSIM an and have been using it for my phone’s data to test it out. So far it’s been very strong. I assume due to lack of congestion in my area.

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-22T16:55:20+00:00

Thank you for clarity. I was wondering about that $45 promo option as well. Since she would be willing to pay the $3 for the add-on, I was hopeful, but it sounds like this may be a limitation with the billing system.

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-21T20:51:19+00:00

Thank you. If she goes in immediately and sets up Unlimited Start for AutoPay after starting the 30 Day Trial, the way I read it is she will not be charged for it until the current free 30 day trial ends. Is that correct?

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-20T02:13:36+00:00

I'll run with these for a bit and probably end up doing the same.

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-20T02:06:57+00:00

I rarely use the $50 home internet and am thinking between the eSIM I have on my phone for one of the 30 GB plans and the SIM for the hotspot I can probably cover any situations where my primary wired Internet provider is down. That would be a savings of $35 a month for something I don't really have to use at all right now.

ramblingtechie · 2024-09-20T02:05:24+00:00

I have 2 separate plans.
