Trying to get cheap cell service for mom. Comcast says, 'hey, got an extra phone? Just give us a call and you can set it up for out cheap mobile service EASY!!'
After nine calls they tell me that they want it needs to be billed separately even though it will be a part of the existing account. So I have to call mom AGAIN and get more info, but I'm done.
What other options do I have for cheap, not frequently used cell service (no data will be used - just phone).
Comcasts' $12/mo plan was perfect, but I HATE THEM!!!
The goal is voice activated calling. The Jitterbug is too complicated for mom. We have an unlocked iphone 6 - just need some service.
it is so simple. You can do it online. Or walk into a store. 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.
