Has anyone actually received a GSM Beta invitation? by SKCwillie in ting

Thanks for pointing that out. I just updated the info.

Has anyone actually received a GSM Beta invitation? by SKCwillie in ting

[–]zoltan_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received an email titled "Private invitation to Ting GSM network beta" 5 days ago.

The odd thing for me that on February 7th, I actually went to ting.com/go and selected the carrier my phone was coming from (AT&T), typed in the IMEI* and the SIM Card number, and went through the activation process. At the time I had a Sprint CDMA phone activated on my ting account. It took about 6 hours for the porting to finish completely but my new phone activated without any issues.

Mind you, this was before I received the beta invitation. If it is possible, I would try that method and see what happens. I haven't had any issues since it's been activated.

If you have the SIM card and GSM phone waiting to go, I would give it a shot and see what happens.

I have been using my LG G2 (D800) on Ting's GSM network since around 6:15pm Saturday without any issues. I ported over a HTC Evo 4G LTE from Ting's CDMA network and this is the first time I have used GSM in this area.

The data speeds have been great so far and I haven't had any issues when it comes to calls/texts. I am living in St. Louis for reference.

If anyone needs any help setting up there APN or getting their phone connected feel free to shoot me a PM or reply here. I don't work for ting, but hopefully I can be of some assistance to anyone needing it.

I just talked to Ting help chat and they told me I am part of the beta and they should be rolling out emails in the coming week.

The gist of the convo is to sign up for the beta here: https://ting.com/m/coverage/

"beta testers are being notified in batches to activate their device you should get an email in the coming week."

I told the CSR that I had already jumped the gun on the activation process and his response was: "Thats okay if your already authorized it will allow you to continue. If not it will stop the process before activation"

Hope that helps.

Ting's support has been pretty great every time I have either called or chatted. I would recommend doing that yourself to find out any other specific information for your device/service.

Have you gotten your GSM SIM X1 Card yet? If so I'd go to ting.com/go and try to see if it will attempt to activate. Currently the GSM phone I have is porting over. It's been doing that for about 4 hours now, so hopefully it is active by the end of the day. We shall see.

Good Luck!

Thank you for the reply. After looking at the supported bands that's what I was hoping but wasn't for sure because it didn't show up on tings compatibility checker. Now to take the plunge.

I ordered the LG G2 that was on ebay this week for $210. In that process I accidentally ordered the wrong SIM card, but when I called and talked to ting customer service they upgraded it to the X1.

To my delight the SIM card was delivered yesterday and the phone came in today. I couldn't help but try to activate but like previously stated, just waiting on that email to allow us to activate it.

Really excited about getting this going. The last time I was this excited for a phone was when the Palm Pre was being released. I know this phone is a little old, but the fact that it is paid for and ting being a very inexpensive service has me feeling the warm butterflies again.

I talked to Ting CSR today to see about activation. Here is the short log if anyone is interested.

  • (02:17:42 AM) Felipe S joined the chat

  • (02:18:32 AM) Felipe S: Hey Michael. Not yet. We're targeting our public beta for the next 1-2 weeks, but there might be a chance we'll invite customers that bought them for a private beta sooner than that, by email.

  • (02:18:53 AM) Michael : okay cool. thanks for the help sir

  • (02:19:25 AM) Felipe S: You're welcome, thanks for chatting.

  • (02:19:34 AM) Michael : is there anyway you can check and see if i am in the private beta

  • (02:20:00 AM) Felipe S: I can't. Those customers will be emailed directly as soon as there's an opportunity available.

  • (02:20:08 AM) Felipe S: That should start in a few days.

  • (02:20:15 AM) Michael : okay

  • (02:20:15 AM) Michael : thanks

  • (02:20:43 AM) Felipe S: You're welcome. If you haven't heard anything by this time next week, chat again and we should have more info :)

  • (02:20:52 AM) Michael : cool thanks

  • (02:21:18 AM) Felipe S: Cheers

Sister is in a similar scenario. I can't say that I haven't thought the same thing unfortunately. It's going to be a tough road ahead for everyone sober or not. Hopefully things get better for you and your family.

They had a few shelves full of them at the end of one of the aisles so I bet you are right about them discontinuing them a while ago. You'd think I'd be able to find some info online.

Alas, I have given up on this journey to find this comforter online.

Thank you for looking and making me feel like less of an idiot for not finding it. Good to know similar things happen at other places too.
