poxin posted:Regarding my port experience from ST to AIO (it may not be the norm). I filled out all my information at AIO's site to pay for service and port my number. Their site kept having difficulty finding my phone number at straight talk. I tried entering it a couple different times. I called in and talked to a rep who said they could do it manually but my phone may be offline for 24 hours and that I would have to wait for the SIM card to show up too (2 day shipping). The number was actually in their system but something at Straight Talk was throwing errors. The challenge is that you cannot edit the APN settings on the iPhone unless the carrier programmed their sim to be able to. (without jailbreaking)

This was asked before but no one has responded. Really interested in hearing if MMS on the iPhone with AIO is as plug and play as it is with GoPhone. You no longer have to configure any APNs or do any trickery with GoPhone. Does it working out of the box for iPhone now or is there problems? This is the last thing stopping me from moving my lines over to AIO as it's vitally important to my wife and I'm sure all of you know how important the spousal buy-in is... Thanks!

SB35 posted:The port won't go through until you actually activate the SIM. I am in the process of transferring to AIO from GoPhone but have one more month left of credit so I wouldn't be activating until the first week of May. If I order the Basic ($40) plan and the Nano sim now will there be any issue with waiting over 30 days to activate it? Also, can I get a confirmation that the Basic plan works with Smartphones such as my Moto X and my wifes iPhone 5? I was originally going to get the 2.5GB but it seems I use around 500-700mb a month, I doubt I'd notice the 2000Mbps speed. Will Pandora still work at that speed? Thanks in advance!

SB35 posted:Buy a Nexus 5 or Moto X. Both can be purchased unlocked for under $400. If you're hard up for cash, a Moto G can be had for ~$200. Or $35 for 500mb which afterwards gets slowed down instead of being completely cut off. Speaking of, can anyone speak to the usability of the 'slowed down' speeds? Will Pandora still work?

My elderly father just surprised us and flew in from Greece yesterday. He may be here for a while and I'm thinking I should get him a cheap phone. He doesn't text or use data. Something with big numbers would be nice but I think he could manage a standard keypad. What's a good enough cheap phone/plan for a guy that probably won't use a ton of minutes and MAYBE make an international call? Feel free to respond without the international calling as we may just work around that issue. Thanks!

I'm ready to pick up two AIO Nano sims for my wife and I. When ordering, it asks if I want a new number or to port mine. I do want to transfer mine, but not until later in the month. Can I put new number and then when I activate it transfer or does it have to be done up front? Just want to make sure I get the steps correct and not have my existing service shut off prematurely or burn cash unnecessarily by selecting an irreversible option. Thanks!

Thanks for the help! Has anyone had an issue porting to AIO from GoPhone online? I called and got my account number from AT&T but the AIO website keeps saying that it isn't being recognized when trying to check out. The number he gave me (for two lines) is 12 digits long and I even tried truncating the first two digits as the field on the AIO site has 1234567890 in the field as if to indicate only ten digits. Turns out I do have stores by me so I may have to go to one to settle this out, but hoping for an online fix. Thanks!

SB35 posted:Correct. So 2 lines is exactly the same price as it would be with individual accounts and autopay. The only benefit is paying from one account. When you have 3+ lines, then savings can be had but they must be paid from one account (so you will need to collect money from other account members if sharing with friends). Well then, there's the catch! Anyone able to address my previous question? Who has ported from GoPhone? TraderStav posted:Thanks for the help!

ge.hale posted:I ported from GoPhone to AIO without any issues. I just checked some notes I took during the port and my account number was 11 digits long. Not sure if GoPhone would have account numbers of different lengths or not. The first nine digits for both that they gave me are 188070439, do you have something similar? I will try dropping the first number.

I want to say that mine was 15 digits and I think its specific per phone (may be wrong on that second point.) ge.hale posted:I ported from GoPhone to AIO without any issues. I just checked some notes I took during the port and my account number was 11 digits long. Not sure if GoPhone would have account numbers of different lengths or not. Oddly enough, I tried again today and it errored out at first and then worked despite being certain I entered it correctly both times. Regardless, the cards are on the way. Thanks for assuring me I was doing the right thing. SB35 posted:I'll let you know. Gf is going to go over her 500mb pretty soon here. Any update on this? Curious as to how Pandora runs (and basic usage is) on throttled AIO.

Man, AIO works fast when transferring from GoPhone. It makes sense being both AT&T owned, but wow. Took less than a minute and everything working perfect on my Moto X. Will have to see how the wife's iPhone 5 fares tonight but am quite optimistic. I started with the 500mb plan to see if the throttled speed is usable (I doubt it is, but if it is that's major savings) and will go from there. Adding tethering would be amazing and make this the perfect plan at either $35 or $45!

I just switched to AIO wireless on my Moto X and got a weird error when my wife sent a group message (video at that). Something along the lines of "Couldn't download MMS. Touch to try again" and all regular messages in that thread repeated it. Weird thing is that I'm able to send and receive pictures over MMS. I opened Textra to see if it was a hangouts problem and it said that I didn't have my phone number set up and to go into settings to do so. Low and behold my number of Unknown in there with no way perceivable way to change it. How do I do this? Thanks!

Give me authorized tethering and they have me as a long-long-long term customer. Perfect price and data package for me. I am tethering small amounts currently, but would greatly appreciate the blessing from the Telco.

AIO/Cricket is good. Switch to them and support them. They are up front with what they allow and the consequences. The speed is great and when throttled it's passable but with high ping times. I'm concerned about sustainability because it's such a good deal and doesn't have any fuckery going on like ST/net10.

Before this thread shutters I wanted to thank everyone for all of the great information and helpful responses. It's been greatly appreciated along the whole way. I'm steady state now with Cricket so don't post much but still lurk! See you in the next thread!
