Re: Ok... I gave Comcast a chance... who else could I get cheap cell service from? - testcase - 09-21-2019 Consumer Cellular advertises an AARP discount with plans starting ~ $15 a month. A couple of years ago, I jumped on the T-Mobile Senior Plan; TWO phones with UNLIMITED Talk, Text and Data as well as UNLIMITED Tethering at 3G speeds. I've had no problems with T-Mobile vs LOTS of problems with AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. Re: Ok...

Won't take you 9 calls to get service. https://www.boom.us/plans/individual I'm with Xfinity now, but was with Boom previously. No complaints over the course of several years, other than that Boom was slightly more expensive for what I was using than Xfinity is for me now. Great customer support, small-ish company. Re: Ok...

The only think that bother me is that for the first 3 phones, I did NOT give them a SSN last year, but this time for the 4th line the needed a SSN to verify ID. They did NOT run a credit check. I didn't have time to argue with them so I gave in and typed in my SSN. Just give Comcast a try, don't give up so easily, And yes, the mobile bill is separate from the cable bill. I gave them a try. 9 phone calls later, it still isn't done. The web pages says, enter the ID number and if it's compatible, call us and we'll send you a sim card. It's NOT that simple. Is your iPhone 6 compatible with Verizon? That may be the issue. Re: Ok...

Do you have the "Generation 1" plan that gives you 100 MB free data? I had that one, but it was not possible to upgrade to the new less expensive data plans. There is was $12/ GB no matter what you used (afer the first free 100 MB). The "Gen 2" plans removed the free 100 MB data but they offer $1/GB, or $30/3 GB and $60/10 GB. So for 10 GB you pay only $6/GB, half of the price on the old plan. I switched and now we end up up with 4 GB in 20 days, probably 6-8 by the end of the month, which works for us. Re: Ok...

We're using SimpleMobile at the moment ($75 unlimited for two phones with 10GB each tethering per month). but I check it more-of-less monthly to see if there's a better deal out there. https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones |
