I recently installed Tmobile's Visual Voicemail app. I've also noticed a bunch of SMS messages being sent to "122". A quick Google search points to this being related to Visual Voicemail. Is that right? I just wanna make sure this isn't something I should worry about.

3 unlocked refurbished Iphones and my OneTouch, walked in, was out in 20 minutes with an extra $100 in my pocket every month. Service is stellar so far! Bye Sprint

Yeah, your phone is usually supposed to hide it but depending on your set up it might show them. No big deal.

How's T-Mobile's reception in north-eastern Michigan? Iosco County, if that helps.

Well, poo poo. But it sounds like there is roaming coverage, so if I turn off data I should be able to get by with voice and text for a week without going over my plan cap.

FlyingCheese posted:Everyone knows coverage maps lie, always take the advice of random goons on the internet. This. The coverage map shows it as a "partner" area, which means AT&T roaming, but that doesn't mean the coverage is any good. If it drops all my calls and loses all my texts, I may as well spend the week with my phone in airplane mode.

AT&T has a cell signal boost type thing you can plug in in your home. Does T-Mobile have anything like that? I know there's wifi calling, but that limits my phone options heavily.

I don't reliably have 3g or 4g, and the cellspot router is just a normal router, I'd still need a T-Mobile branded device. Unless I'm missing something.

Unless I'm missing something. if you have one bar anywhere on your property, the cel-fi will rebroadcast a GSM signal so you don't need a t-mo device. If you're asking about an internet-connected device that will generate its own GSM service, no, T-Mobile does not have one of those.

I've been on the 5gb data $30 "Walmart" plan for a year or two now on my Nexus devices. I'm not against upgrading to a post-paid plan if it provided me some value, but it seems like the only upgrade data-wise would be more than doubling my payment to get the $80 unlimited plan. If I were to go into a retail store, do they have any negotiation power as far as offering promotional rates or credits or anything to convince me to move up to the bigger plan? For what it's worth, I posted this on the TMO subreddit and got the following response from an employee but I was curious if anyone has had any luck with negotiating with CSRs or otherwise. quote:Retail doesn't have access to any secret promotional plans and account credits are almost exclusively reserved for resolving customer service escalations.

No, at a retail store we don't give credits for customers wanting to move to a higher rate plan. If you move to a regular postpaid account the Sim starter fee is waived ($15) but that's about it. If you are going to move to postpaid my only real tip is to move on the last day of your bill cycle because you lose out on any money/time you have left on your account.

So I like changing phones I have an iPhone 6 which I can sell back and pay off what I owe on it plus a little. I'm considering moving to jump on demand so I can swap phones around if I see a new shiny. Please talk me out of this idea the monthly bill will be similar to what I'm paying now.

Verizon's phones have been GSM unlocked for a while now. Check what bands it has, though. Your 3g/4g might be spotty.

According to this it will work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/factory-unlocked-lte-t-mobile-t2828543

Looks like you can do 2, 3 or 4+ lines as well with the deal. In other words, only $10 more per line to upgrade two 1gb lines to 10gb...

What would be the best plan for two lines, all I care about is at least 4GB of data me and my wife barely call or text. I'm probably going to grab two Moto G's and I would be dumping Sprint. T-Mobile doesn't have issues porting numbers over does it? Also any of you guys around the Pittsburgh/western PA area that can comment on the service coverage map looks good to me. Thanks

I pay $90 for a 2 line family plan with 1 line at 3GB and another line at 1GB. So for $10 more per month we can get 10GB on each line? I thought there was a minimum of 4 phones required for this deal It seems strange, because isn't it $120 to have two phones on a simple choice plan for 5GB each line? Yeah, just leave two inactive SIMs in a drawer somewhere. Or gently caress it, for $120 I'd just use all three SIMs and swap them out and use 30GB of data while my wife keeps hers for 10GB which she'll never use.

Also any of you guys around the Pittsburgh/western PA area that can comment on the service coverage map looks good to me. The TMobile family plan is $70 + $50 = $120 for lines one and two with 5GB each of data. If you can get by with 3GB each it would be $60 + $40 = $100 monthly. If you really don't call a lot, TMobile prepaid is $30 a line for 100 mins, unlimited text and 5GB of data. So each of you would get 100 mins ($0.10 a min after that), text and data, total is $60 monthly. In PA in general TMobile gets spotty once you are outside the city, but I'm on the other side of the state so I don't know pittsburgh that well. Not sure if there are different policies on roaming on TMobile prepaid or postpaid, but I know between TMobile and roaming you would almost always have at least voice coverage.

And keep in mind if you're a heavy music streamer you can just subtract all of that from your data allowance if your service is on Music Freedom and figure it out from there. Unlimited is still on the plans but they've started adding this in bigger print now. quote:*Unlimited 4G LTE customers who use more than 21 GB of data in a bill cycle will have their data usage de-prioritized compared to other customers for that bill cycle at locations and times when competing network demands occur, resulting in relatively slower speeds. See t-mobile.com/OpenInternet for details.

Thanks this helps alot, I was thinking of switching to TING but two prepaid lines @$30 each sounds perfect for us, I would be going from $160 down to that. Does T-Mobile have tower roll out plans listed online anywhere I know Sprint sucks but to their credit they did a rollout program and it was pretty accurate I had a massive increase in speeds and signal but still $160 a month for surfing in chrome away from home is kind of silly.

I don't think they do. I worked at Sprint when they launched the tower rollout, and to be fair it's a really bad business decision. The next corp meeting I was at had a whole section discussing combatting marketing from Verizon, who had taken the data and emailed it to sprint business customers stating that even sprint knows the network is not good, come over here, etc.

Pretty much as long as you are not going further north than Cranberry, further south than Washington, further east than Monroeville, or further west than the airport, you will be good. Outside of that zone, the service can be described best as "eh". In other words, if you live in the greater Pittsburgh area, you are going to be just fine. Get the free iPhone for a week and test the service yourself.
