I switched from At&t,and went with US mobile, 2 months ago.I'm getting 12gb a month for but less than I was paying for 5 on At&T. (I was also getting annoyed with At&T telling me to upgrade my phone because it might not be supported on their network) I initially had trouble getting my phone to work,and they were great at getting me going,through their chat.I used your 1st video,to test drive US Mobile,because I was able to try it for a month. Good luck with your decision Carlos!

@emmahsax Год назад

I switched to US Mobile several months ago. Generally great experience, good customer service, speeds are fine for me, but I don't do lots of videos or games. Some issues with lower bars when I travel outside of the city, but it's manageable. I had one issue where they were having an outage and it was unable to bill me, but their great chat line helped assure me that it would be okay and they walked me through it. I have found that I have to reach out to the customer service team for a lot of issues and questions... versus being able to do things on my own in the app or online, but since their chat customer service is excellent service and fast, that's generally okay. The graphs of usage is nice. My parents switched to Mint Mobile around the same time, and they also have no issues. Their speeds are probably faster (in the big city here), and if it wasn't for needing to prepay for multiple months and lower coverage around other rural parts of the US, I'd be right there with them. They also don't provide detailed usage graphs, which is unfortunate. I do want to mention that Mint Mobile has pretty pitiful international data options, but US Mobile has great international data options, and you don't need to be a regular customer to use US Mobile internationally... as long as you have e-sim and a free US Mobile account! So with that... I'm sticking with US Mobile. It's good enough. Paying one month at a time, I have approximately the same price as I would with Mint Mobile paying for six months at a time (for one phone, Visible was way too expensive, and I don't need unlimited data). I'm on Verizon, and my partner is on T-Mobile, so now we should have at least one reliable phone everywhere in the US... which is what's most important to us.

@prouddaddyofdos 2 года назад

What city do u live in? Just curious because I’m thinking of switching to Visible, but I can’t be having no dropped calls! LoL!

@mboczek 2 года назад

@@prouddaddyofdos Visible doesn't use domestic roaming and Verizon CDMA network (only Verizon LTE). So if you have good Verizon LTE signal, you are good to go. Your phone must be compatible with Verizon network and VoLTE (not every phone with LTE has VoLTE). Sometimes you need your service to be set to CDMA-Less mode by contacting with Visible customer service (some phones need that). But if you have good coverage in Verizon because you use some local provider through roaming or Visible CDMA network, Visible won't be working good enough. In short: the simplest way is to purchase sim from Visible for testing. With referral code (you can find a lot of those online) you can get first month for $5. Test and decide.

@gilesrdavies 3 года назад

Wow, mobile networks in the USA are expensive! Here in the UK you can get 30GB of data with unlimited calls and SMS for £10 GBP (about $14 USD) and unlimited data for £16 (about $22 USD). This also allows mobile hotspots with no speed slow downs, WiFi calling when out of coverage and using your data and calls in Europe! You also have no contract, you just pay upfront for the 30 day plan you want and are under no obligation to continue the plan for another month. There are many cheap networks like this if you are happy to just have 4G/LTE speeds, and not pay the crazy prices to get 5G, which only has limited coverage anyway, I get at least 50-60MBit speeds on 4G and this is faster than most home internet in the UK.

@good-tn9sr 3 года назад

That sounded good until you said how slow the home WiFi was. Most people here have 200 mb/s, I pay $75 for gigabit connection here. I guess you guys have better cellular prices and we have better WiFi.

@gilesrdavies 3 года назад

Most cities and larger towns here in the UK get offered plans 100-500mb speeds. But rural areas are usually capped at 80mb, depending on the infrastructure. Costs vary from $25-50 USD, depending on speed and package you choose.

@good-tn9sr 3 года назад

@@good-tn9sr Most gigabit connections are only offered through Virgin Media/Liberty as part of a premium package, which includes cable TV subscription, phone line (with calls included) and the gigabit internet connection.

US Mobile for me. No regrets so far. Had metro mobile and customer service sucks, and they don't cover alot areas since I work for the railroad and spends nights at different state and towns. Since I had US Mobile,I have excellent service since the use Verizon tower. You can get customer service really quick with online chat in seconds. 2 lines with unlimited data,calls and text is a plus for only $60 for 2lines. They also have unlimited hotspot and I think the maximum 2 devices connected. They also have perks if u have 3 lines of more with Hulu or music... Do your research on US Mobile

@courtneye.3276 2 года назад

Thank you for this video (and also the one that follows it)! I have a question: when testing out these different phone plans, was there any issue with keeping your phone number? Is it just a matter of popping in a different sim card and just using the provider's network? That's pretty much my only concern/confusion before I start actually searching.

@cozyimmerse 2 года назад

If my understanding is correct as I'm shopping around for an MVNO if you're thinking of moving to a new service it's best to port your number over before cancellation of your old cell phone plan. For me it was AT&T to Xfinity but now I'm thinking more towards US mobile or Visible (via party plan). Of course you can see it they can give you a new number with the sim card, which could be what tech reviewers do. This kind of give the ability to try before committing and jumping into their plan fully.

@christianhamilton342 Год назад
