So, I'm tired of getting shafted by Verizon and am thinking of switching to T Mobile's unlimited plan ($70 per month for two lines for folks over 55). Anyone have experience with them here in the Portland area? Any suggestions for other providers?
I've got 5 lines for $120 per month at Cricket which is owned by ATT. 9gigs a month high speed, unlimited slower speeds. Got my parents and mom in law on it. No complaints, no added fees.
Just checked their plans and for two people T Mobile looks like a better deal. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Verizon and AT&T are the only major carriers where I live. After raping people without lubrication for the last 10 years because they hold a tag-team monopoly, there is starting to be a mass migration to Straight Talk. I switched a few years back. $45 a month for unlimited talk/text and 12g of data. Can pay $55 for unlimited data. You can switch any phone from any carrier to their service also. It used to be a shittier prepaid carrier but they have stepped their shit up. Even yuppies who wouldnt be caught dead with a prepaid are switching over. Fuck Verizon and ATT.
I tried T Mobile for data on my boat last year. The problem is, the small little blocks that define roaming or not. Once there had me roaming even a little, they cut off data access for the rest of the month. I think I had to drop it in 2 days. Coverage for T Mobile is poor for use on the all over the West Coast. I use Verizon prepaid plans for data for USB modem. 6GB of data for 60 days at $60. This then allows the ships phone to work VOIP via Netalk. Then the cell phone is a Tracfone running about $11 buck a month. The UML290 USB modem with two external antenna connected really does work everywhere within range of land. I was blacked out off Big Sur for about 12 hours, I expect I will be when off Cascade Head for about 8 hours next week. I intend to try the UML290 connected to a Yagi TV antenna on one of the ports. I expect it will work everywhere off the West Coast withing 30 miles of land. It really does haul in the TV signals. Where I was getting in Bandon harbor, zero station via standard 50-60 mile external antennas, the Yagi hauled in 9 stations from Coos Bay and I guess Roseburg.
Naw. He was still voting present in Illinois and being indoctrinated by Rev. Wright when I got this phone.
Another little secret about this phone is, it connects when no others on board will. But now that distinction will go to te Netalk phone I think.
The Obama Phone program started in 1996. Calling it the Obama Phone was just fake news. It's actually the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) and was created as part of the 1996 Telecommunications Act. So yes, you have an Obama Phone. Let's review, Marazul participates in the following socialist programs: Socialized medicine. Socialized phone service.
Oh well please amplify Dog. I bought the phone. Paid for my healthcare, probably more that you or most here. But feel free to correct as you see it.
Dammed if I know what to say dog. Only one thing comes to mind. So I think I will go get some stuff done to head for the Columbia Saturday instead of giving you advice.
