The wireless carriers I won’t use

Verizon

Won’t use Verizon or any MVNO that uses Verizon. First time Trump was president, Verizon got their person in the FCC. Net Neutrality gone as a result. They might be able to keep phones locked forever now too. Don’t care how good their signal is.

Red Pocket

Don’t forget Red Pocket, I bought a SIM card, signed up for a plan on their site, and got nothing. Tried emailing them, no response. Not sure calling would have changed anything.

Person on eBay said I signed up for a non existent plan, well Red Pocket should fix their site then. They had no issue taking my money.

If that happened now, I’d dispute the charge.

Boost Mobile

Tried signing up, but they didn’t want my money. Got an error. Not worth my time, to fuck around with trying to pay for something. Nor am I doing it every month.

Helium Mobile

Used them when they were really cheap. Too cheap, and don’t trust them. Looking at their site, they have some sites that shouldn’t be trusted on there, under “As featured in”. I should add all those domains to my DNS adblocker. So I don’t accidentally go to any of those sites.

US Mobile

Well, they do use Verizon, and other networks too. But when I ported out, they wouldn’t just easily give me the info, like Ultra Mobile. No I don’t want their “deal”.

Any carrier that might be hard to port out of, I won’t use. Apparently Mint Mobile might be hard to port out too. Too expensive anyways.

Looks like as long as I’m on prepaid, I’ll probably just keep on using Tello.

I might get on somebody’s T-Mobile plan, or not, who knows.

Hmm 10 GB $15 per month from Tello. How much data have I used so far? But I get the 50 GB plan for $19 a month for a year. And then I don’t have to pay attention to my data use.

Didn’t Tello use to just throttle after using all data? That was better. Cause then I could get the cheapest plan, and have slow ass data if I run out.

48.13 GB left. I need more doctors appointments.

No more mobile data for Insta360. That app is basically a big ad. Too bad I bought a charger and another battery for it. Otherwise, I might consider getting rid of it. And getting something else.

Lyca Mobile

Almost forgot one. I ordered a “free” SIM card, basically $7 in shipping. And it got sent back. Might have sent it using FedEx. And if living in a secure building, some delivery services, just keep coming back when the office is at lunch, then send it back.

So basically wasted $7. Also, looking on Reddit, probably wise not to use them. They are switching to AT&T apparently.

Also, where’s the fourth wireless carrier? Dish may be shutting down their own network. Where’s the lawsuits? I thought they had to be the fourth wireless carrier to get the spectrum. Didn’t know they were allowed to sell/lease spectrum to AT&T.

Hmm, maybe don’t use AT&T or any MVNOs either then.
