Question 1: Do you really need 6GB of data a month? Yikes.... I assume no wifi @ work or something?
You like your coverage?
It is pre paid, you can do whatever you want with it.
-Same #: Yup, you just port it when you sign up
I'm sure it has been put up here earlier in the thread, but try Gazelle.com. I bought an iphone 5s for my mother there a little while ago, and she has had no problems with it (other than user errors, but we can't avoid those!!).
Thanks for the input. I did look there, but finding much better deals on ebay.
I guess the difference would be buying from a store, and buying from some guy named Bob, who may or may not be selling a stolen iPhone. I might pay a little more for security like that.
This is a good point, I was strictly looking at ebay stores, for a little more security.
I upgraded from the 5 to the 6 when the 6p came out. Much better battery life (and it has quick charge, which is amazeballs). It is enormous though, so you need giant hands like myself or Otis to hold it properly. Sound is also drastically improved. I can't speak to the 6p, but I think a few others canjdoggydogg said:
I really hate Cricket.
Interesting. Screaming everywhere how they are better than T-Mobile, when in fact they are not that good. People who would need unlimited data are likely to want faster than 8Mbps.
I don't have giant hands and I love my Nexus 6 and Project Fi. With careful management, my bills rarely go over $30 a month and I rarely ever have an issue getting service.
Look at Consumer Cellular. It uses AT&T's network and will have plans that fit his usage for low prices.
This was the big selling point for me. Hated not being able to use my phone (at a reasonable price) while traveling.I also love the fact that I can use my Nexus 6/Project Fi overseas with cheap-### rates. Unlimited texting and Data is still $10 a month no matter where you are, even though you're knocked down to 3G/256 kbps.
I'm planning a Rome trip in March 2018, so this will be handy for sure.
How is t-mobile outside of your house? I know they have some signal booster / wifi-calling options that could help indoors.
Nothing but Verizon is reliable at my house. When people with other providers visit, they're irritated.How is t-mobile outside of your house? I know they have some signal booster / wifi-calling options that could help indoors.
This is unreal. I tried to switch to Cricket today, and they won't allow me to port in my existing number from Project Fi. They say it's their "policy." What is this about? They said the only way I can set up service through Cricket is to do it with a brand-new number. And, gee, why wouldn't I want to do that?
Isn't your Project Fi number a google voice number anyway? If it is, just get a new number from cricket (oh, and use my referral linkBeTheMatch said:
) install the Google Voice app, and you can keep using it for all calls.
Once you go to Project Fi, you lose your Google voice number if you don't use it. I didn't use it when I enrolled with Project Fi. I used my existing cel number at the time. So I no longer have a Google Voice number.Isn't your Project Fi number a google voice number anyway? If it is, just get a new number from cricket (oh, and use my referral link
Can you port your Fi number to GV?
How to transfer your number
Your Project Fi service will stay active until we know your number is safely with your new carrier. To transfer your number:
Cancel your service on the Project Fi website (see below).
We’ll provide you with the "port out" account number & password.
Tip: Once you cancel, you'll see a notification with this info in the Project Fi app and website if you need to access it later.
Share your port out info with your new carrier.
Tip: If your new carrier requests your name and address, use the name associated with the Google Account you use with Project Fi, and your Project Fi Service address.
Your number will be transferred once your new carrier has verified your info with Project Fi, and then we'll close your account.
I don't know what the risk is, but I know when my step daughter bought a phone via ebay, many of the listings had the IMEI number listed.sbonomo said:
I found a free online place that checked IEMI's to ensure they were clean. Sent him a screen shot without the IEMI number on there. Have not heard back from him. I think it was a scam. Thanks for the replies.
Yeah, I saw that. Not really. But thank you. I think I'll just bite the bullet and go 5s
I would think something from Woot would clearly be unlocked. Why is it clear? I would think the most you would need would be to buy one of Ting's SIM cards. I have two iPhone 4's on Ting for my boys, but I bought from Ting, so I had no issues.
Yeah, it's unlocked but I've read on the Ting site of people having function difficulty with AT&T phones brought over to ting, including iPhones. I guess they have different model numbers, and something's different about them. I went ahead and just bought a 5s from Ting. Worst thing I can do is take a chance on a gift for the wife and have it not work.
Got mine on Ebay, but from a dealer. Just bought 3 iphone5s's in the last month for both boys and the wife. I bought sprint phones though cause the whole unlocked phones was confusing to me as well. I got a great deal on the 2 I bought for my boys. $260 for 2 iphone5s's which were in excellent condition with chargers etc shipped free. Really pleased.Henry Ford said:
Also look at Consumer Cellular. Honestly, I kinda hate Cricket because they advertise "LTE" but they cap the speed of the LTE they give, so it's really HSPA+ fast, not LTE fast. Seems a bit bait and switchy to me.Jaysus said:
