still going through lots of hoops to preserve that poo poo for no other reason than autism/torrenting animes on your phone

"lots of hoops" = $10 a month for a 3rd line to get my phone upgrades on

$10 a month for unlimited data is worth it to me :shrug:

and ive literally never seen an anime; i go over 4 gb a month just listening to youtube on my commute

you're maintaining a phantom 3rd line just so you can stream youtube music videos on your commute

then every time you upgrade you're going to verizon to have them swap phones and finagle maintaining your grandfathered plan

use a music streaming service that would use 1/4th the bandwidth instead, that'd the the same as the extra 10/month and you'd be less autistic

ive got 5 GB and I rarely exceed 1-2 GB a month and i stream music daily on my commute as well

i barely remember this out of my drunken stupor but at this house party some dude ran over him data limit streaming pandora so he asks everyone WHO HAS A 4G PHONE and wouldnt let anyone plug their phone into the stereo unless they had 4g because i guess he thought 3g wasnt good enough for pandora??? it was like 2011 so nobody had a 4g phone.

actually now that i think about it, i never bought a phone at full price; i have a family plan (just 2 lines, my wife and mine) and we got a 3rd line for $10 a month, and i get my phone upgrades on that line. $10 a month extra for unlimited verizon wireless 4g (unthrottled) with subsidized phones lmao :owned:

I got a Nexus 5 on Sprint's financing which was supposed to be like $12 a month or some poo poo but it's been almost a year and the charge has never showen up on my bill so I guess I got the phone for free??

this is why prepaid owns so hard, $30/month is $30/month (well, $32 after sales tax in my state). All the taxes like USF/911 etc are bundleded in and that's it

post-paid contracts end up inching $8-15+ per line after taxes and completely bullshit made up fees they're not required to disclose the details of until after you sign up because there's no regulatory backbone to make them

one reason why t-mobile's LTE currently is the best in major metros is because everyone is on Verizon/att and bogging that poo poo down

also if you're not even using their lte (which runs at half the spectrum of everyone else, but at least is more recently upgraded), jesus just why?

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

t-mobile roams with at&t (voice/sms only) in rural bumfuck nowhere if you can't get a signal

however quite a bit of rural bumfuck nowhere is covered with t-mobile 2g and it sucks balls for data

if you don't live in a major metro don't get t-mobile, full stop.

because if I enable lte I get like half the battery life I do otherwise, and if I get out of lte coverage, which is a lot of places downtown, renegotiating to 3G fucks up my poo poo and puts a ton of latency into requests
