Is it possible to buy JUST a phone from Cricket Wireless if you're already an existing customer? I'd like to do an upgrade to the Lumia 630 from my 620. But if I try to buy anything on the Cricket site, you have to add a plan. Is the phone shop only for new customers?

Cojawfee posted:Are you logged in? I just went to the cricket website and added a Lumia to my cart and it asked me if I wanted to add a line or upgrade a line. Yeah the only thing is that if you want to Upgrade your device (which I did) it STILL makes you pick a plan for some weird reason. But I went through with it to see what happens. Basically I paid $100 for a $50 phone (which will come with a $50 rebate card making it free) and then a $50 Smart Plan (which I'm already subscribed to). Hopefully the $50 smart plan charge drops off since I'm already on that. edit: As soon as I went through with it, my phone notified me that I just made a $50 payment towards my account...so essentially I just gave myself some credit. I'm ok with that. And then I figured the $50 rebate card is only for new subscribers so I checked and, yep, it is. Still $50 for a semi-decent phone isn't bad. I'm on the 620 right now and it's just too goddamned small and I can't afford to upgrade to a bigger phone without a subsidy at the moment.

Anybody had any experience moving from Verizon to Cricket? Have a friend that wants to, but don't have any experience good or bad with it... so I figure I'd ask here before recommending.

PurpleJesus posted:Has anyone changed phones on Cricket that required a different size SIM card? I currently have a Nexus 5 that has a Micro SIM but I'm going to be upgrading to the new Moto X, with a Nano SIM. Do I just order one from the website or do I have to go into the store? And if so, are they going to charge me an activation fee? I believe you can get it from the site for like a dollar. You can also cut them yourself (which is what I did to upgrade to my 2013 moto x), but I'd recommend against it if you can. Sometimes, depending on the tray, you can get SIM stability issues if it's not cut just right and keeps slipping out.

Cricket's MMS broke for me (2013 moto x) and my wife (Lumia 520) for the longest time too. I ended up turning off the AIOInternet APN (but keeping AIOMMS selected) and switched the Internet APN to this: Name: internet APN: ndo Proxy: not set Port: not set Username: not set Password: not set Server: Not set MMS Proxy: Not set MMS Port: Not set MCC: 310 MNC: 150 Authentication Type: Not Set APN type: default, fota, hipri, supl APN protocol: IPv4 APN roaming protocol: IPv4 APN enable/disable: enabled Bearer: unspecified MVNO type: none MVNO value: not set And it worked! On both phones.

SB35 posted:So you have two APNs set? A separate for mms and internet? Or just removed MMS? Two, one for MMS and one for Internet. The MMS APN isn't selectable. It just exists. There are two internet APNs (the AIOinternet and generic internet one)... there are radio buttons to choose which one to use. They're all on the same screen. The MMS one is the one it's always been since I plugged my SIM into my phone when I bought it and it auto fetched the MMS apn. However it never really worked until I changed the selected Internet APN from the aio one to the generic one. As soon as I did that MMS's finally started coming through! edit:

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Anyone else having some issues with cricket and mms? I did a firmware update, and now I can't send or receive mms. I hate that I can't remember the fix, but yeah it's something with the APN. I think they were actually having DNS issues with their network vs home wifi. I can't remember the process. But if I was at home and it wasn't working, I connected to my wifi... THEN sent it and it worked. Then, when I turned wifi back off (or left the house and automatically connected) it would keep working. Or maybe it was the opposite? Eek. Try either way. Different Question! Speaking of Cricket. Something has happened to ATT coverage in my neighborhood and all of my neighbors and I all of a sudden don't get dick for coverage. In fact most of us have only one or two spots in our home where the signal isn't completely dead. It's very weird. We're in C Spire's hometown and they just installed their fiber in our neighborhood (completely wrecking my yard but that's a different story) ... that was the same time that all of our ATT coverage poo poo the bed. Conspiracy or not, I think I'm going to switch to Verizon pre-paid. They don't have a "Cricket" do they? AKA Pre-paid service owned by Verizon but different name? I skimmed the OP but wanted to make sure it was up to date.

Cricket coverage just turned to poo poo here in Central Mississippi. Maybe it's because I'm literally around the corner from C Spire's headquarters, but all three of my buds that use Cricket have noticed a marked loss of quality lately. Very slow internet, often no signal (in half of my house and in my office which is just poo poo) plus weird instances of, in certain spots at work and home, what looks like a strong signal and I can text, etc, but when people call me it goes straight to VM. Thinking of switching to Fi

Cameras are always marginal but totally acceptable for the price range.

Helping a co-worker fix her headlights like whoa. The G7 is just around the corner (or just came out?) too.

I just switched to Xfinity Mobile a couple of months ago (I'm a Comcast member, but using the $45/unlimited fork instead of the per gig fork.). Granted I have the same crappy coverage as AT&T (I live in a metro area but apparently this tiny little area of the city has spotty 4G LTE coverage). Other than that it's just fine.

Yeah that's interesting that it would work on all iOS phones but only Android phones bought from them. Although it's probably less them being dicks and more that they, with Android fragmentation, can only ensure it works on devices they personally sell and therefore test/guarantee. Or not since other carriers do it. Who knows. Goddamn sometimes I hate technology.

I signed my wife and I up for Mint a couple of months ago and I would like to say holy poo poo does it have the worst coverage of anything I've ever used. We're in the RTP in NC and it has ok coverage, but the *second* you get out of the city it's slow-to-poo poo everywhere. Definitely going back to something Verizon based (or literally anything not T-Mobile) once this 3 month pre-pay is up. It's abysmal.

Am unsubbing from Mint Mobile. Went to turn off auto renew and it says the Primary Member (I'm the primary of the family which is just my wife and I) *cannot* turn off auto-renew. What? Why wouldn't the account manager be able to do that? edit: ok found it. In a family plan you cannot have auto renew turned off at all.

Ok finally switched from Mint Mobile to US Mobile today. Initial thoughts on the process: Mint Mobile does not have your account number or PIN *anywhere* on your account management page. You have to call in to get it. I thought it was going to be annoying and they'd try to keep me, but nope. It's very painless. Also, if you have multiple lines in a family account they each have their own account number and PIN so you have to repeat the process for each line. The *second* you switch a line away your Mint Mobile page immediately directs to a 404. So if, for whatever reason, there's anything there you need to screencap, etc. Do it first. Setup on US Mobile was easy and chat support was super quick and helpful with the few issues I did have. Only downer so far is that my wife is on a Pixel 3a and I'm on a Pixel 6 and they can't use the shared pool feature. You can only use phones with Super LTE and above on the shared data line. Not a deal killer, but oh well.

ESIM let me get started while on my lunch break at work and it seems I'm connected to Verizon which works... surprisingly well here. I did notice that at one point my phone was reporting I was on 5G UC which I thought was strictly T-Mobile, but the ESIM and network info app show me on Verizon. Kind of confused me. Yeah I had to switch because TMobile coverage was just abysmal everywhere except for directly in the city. Verizon is much better. For the 5G UC thing... do you s till have your other SIM installed? Maybe some accidental crossover?

Mental Hospitality posted:I recently had US Mobile switch me from an eSim to one of their black "Super LTE" physical sims (It's still 5G on Verizon so my service hasn't changed). Chat was super helpful in getting the process started, only issue was speed. Took about 15 hours for the changeover to happen, and for about 12 hours I had no service as the eSim deactivated long before the card activated. From what I've read, it is usually a much quicker process. Huh I didn't switch from an eSim, but I did use the black sims when switching my lines over from my previous carrier (when we first signed up for US Mobile) and it only took a few minutes. Wonder if something just got hung up.

I've used it for a year now for my wife and I and it's been great. However last night we had power outages from storms and both of us had trouble getting any cell data. It would come and go so I don't think cell towers were off... just likely slammed and I'm guessing US Mobile doesn't get any sort of priority. Also of note - they do NOT support plans for watches at the moment! So if that's a dealbreaker for you, there ya go.

US mobile is great. I've been on them for a year (my wife and I) and not a single issue. We had some weirdness during setup and their support is *fantastic*.... I also really like their app/ui. It's fantastic if you need to be on a Verizon MVNO.
