My friend has Visible for $25/month (he had to join a reddit group of 4 for the rate) which I guess is a Verizon MVNO but he claims to use ludicrous amounts of tethered data for years now and they're never throttled him.

They might not throttle but they definitely deprioritize. I had Visible for a few months but data was practically unusable unless it was like the middle of the night. Then again, I live in NYC. If you don't live or regularly go into a big city it's probably ok?

For the 5G Unlimited plans, is the mobile hotspot data allowance just for your phone, or would that apply to a standalone hotspot? The 5G Get More plan says "50GB premium mobile hotspot data then unlimited lower speed data". But then I see these separate hotspot plans as well: https://www.verizon.com/plans/devic...c920834#tab-nav I just moved into a new build house and it may take 3+ weeks to get the internet setup so i'm looking for a solution in the interim. I'm thinking i'll buy something like the MiFi 8800L and hope that it's good enough for remote work purposes. I get good 4G coverage out here, but not 5G. Is there any point in buying the more expensive 5G hotspots?

The separate mobile hotspot is like, $40-80 for 50-150GB. $20 off if you have one line on the Do More unlimited plan. It’s up to you if you are cool with buying the equipment for one months use. But in this case, yeah you don’t need to buy the $400 5G one, the $200 4G 8800 works great. Fyi you can probably find them used on Amazon and then I can activate it as a bring your own device if you want to save money (and just wait xx days for delivery).

I'm grouchy that all my "device dollars" apparently will evaporate before I have the chance to use them. I was planning to save them for a year or two, but now all I can buy is half a phone case.

Have you guys had any issues with 'Google is detecting suspicious activity coming from your networks' with your phones? It doesn't occur when I'm on wireless or other networks, only on cellular. I've tried refreshing and resetting my wireless settings without improvement. I have a stock iPhone 13 Pro Max with latest firmware, no VPN or other esoteric settings present.

Going away, or less options ? I’m off this week, so I guess I’ll find out when I get back. Amazon gift card is gone this month, but it still gave me a Panera one. I knew Verizon device dollars were going away, which IMO unless they updated it to apply towards the bill is a good thing. Decent concept, but what happens a LOT is either the customer and/or sales person forgets to use the sales dollars, and then you have a customer rightfully upset that they have $50-$100 in device dollars but just bought 2 new phones and do not need another, etc. Obviously they shouldn’t just erase them, just phase out. Tbh, I don’t know if it’s a date where they just disappear or not with that.

Sure, but don’t you want a completely new experience? It’s designed around YOU ! I hope they keep it similar, the gift card of $3-5 was super simple and made sense (yeah they prob won’t keep it simple).

Are we going to get device dollars next month? I have $25 right now so if not, I guess I’ll just pick up a case or extra charging cable.

If you have the means and ability, I highly recommend getting the Verizon Visa. I set it up to auto pay my bill, and pay off the statement balance every month, so it's effectively no different than regular auto pay. But it gives a discount on every line and converted device dollars to Verizon dollars, which accumulate with every charge. In this case, it's just my normal bill. I'm curious about the new rewards and how much worse it will be while they spin it as better. Can't be any worse than the old points program before Up, though.

Galaxy s10+ if that makes a difference Not sure, but tbh I would just use Samsung Smart switch to move everything over, it’s super good and fairly reliable. Also, google photos , although yeah google now charges quicker than they used to. If you need help ordering a phone, feel free to PM, I’m off today but work the next 3 days.

If Verizon's lovely bill pay website and its inability to work with Gift Cards easily somehow billed my debit card, do I have any recourse? It doesn't seem like it but I'm so loving annoyed. I have the funds, but lovely UI led to this. UGH

Like, care can file a ticket to have it reversed, but it of course is like a week long process and IMO it would be more worth your time to just apply the gift card to the next bill.

Back when we got IPhone 13s in October, we got all of the offers from Verizon for switching to an unlimited plan. They are all 6 month offers so they are coming up. I went to cancel AMC Plus today and I am having an issue. When I went to Verizon, it does not show AMC Plus as an option for our add-ons so I cannot cancel it there. When I go to the AMC Plus website/account, it says that my subscription is managed through Verizon and does not give me the option to cancel.

Be logged into your online account, and call care here: (800) 392-0717 . There are ways for them to cancel it. By default it’s supposed to be the customer opting out online , but if it doesn’t work ask for a supervisor , they have something in their system that can remove it.

Duckman2008 posted:Historically, while they have talked about both speed and reliability , I will say the biggest single thing with Verizon that they advertise / take pride in is reliability. As in, even if it is not the fastest, it works and gets a connection. This 100%. Just because a cellular network can reach gigabit speeds, it doesn't matter if the network only exists in a single city block. That being said, I finally had to bite the bullet and buy an AT&T sim for the secondary slot in our mobile unit cradlepoint. Now we basically have coverage everywhere but the NRQZ. :P

Len posted:I got an email offering me this, but the guy on the phone is quoting $120/mo which isn't a discount at all. Any ideas how to actually get this? That deal would probably finally get me to switch to an Unlimited plan, because it's right around the same price I'm currently paying for 2 lines on an 8GB Shared plan. Maybe I should pay closer attention to my emails from VZW. Edit: No hotspot, no go. Looking at the plans, I'd probably be better off with Play More, since we already pay for Hulu and Disney+ anyway. But $140/month is still more than I'd like to pay, even taking out the $13/month for Hulu and $80/yr or whatever Disney gets us for now.

I potentially need 4 new lines setup for a business. The issue is I only need to use the phones for about 8 months of the year. Am I better off just going the prepaid route or is there a way to shut the lines off for the 4 months they're not in use on a normal plan?

Yeah, I can’t help with this because I don’t do business plans anymore, but with that time frame I would do a business account. I last worked with business accounts 14-15ish months ago, but last I checked you can suspend lines up to 3 months at a time, no charge. So even if they don’t give you that 4th month, that would be way more convenient than prepaid and you keep the same numbers the whole time. Plus, bus pricing is probably better than prepaid.

My wife's rather old iphone started to die this week and of course it's at a time when her dad is about to have quadruple bypass surgery. Figuring it was time anyway, I got her an iPhone 13 Pro via the Verizon Store and paid the (small) amount for next-day delivery, which would have been Thursday evening (5/5). FedEx didn't pick it up until late Thursday morning, and then didn't actually ship it out of Indianapolis until Thursday night. It's been at the local FedEx sorting facility for 6 hours now, had been marked as "by noon", and now is marked as "by end of day", but in reality I don't expect to get it now until tomorrow. I don't care about the small amount I paid for expedited delivery, but where I can go to bitch about the fact that between whenever it was given to FedEx and then FedEx themselves, they've now late and continuing to gently caress up? I really loving hate FedEx.

I assume you ordered before 4-5ish local time ? Verizon level 2 care is 800-392-0717 , they should credit you the shipping fee. Maybe you can get the upgrade fee waived ? No guarantees there.
