Maybe I shouldn’t be as pissed as I am but, for me, I like using my Apple card for autopay because I get 3% back with T-Mobile charges. What I like to do is use my CCs to max my rewards / cash back and then pay off my card each month.
Maybe I’m overreacting, but I’m not happy about this. Of course I don’t want to pay an additional $40 a month on my phone bill so yes, I’m switching autopay to a Privacy card, but F—, man.
Okay, I’m done lol
Edit 6/6/1023: So I made a new virtual card but when I add it to my T-Mobile account the site adds it and says it’s not supported for the discount. They’re going to force me to enter a physical debit card or bank account or pay an additional $40/month.
T-Mobile really has been sucking with their service strength in NY. But they’re doing very well at driving me crazy.
I had nothing but deteriorating service and escalating fees from them. So glad to have switched away!
It’s crazy, they were doing good. Then, past several months, garbage.
Who’d you switch to?
Ting. They rent/use Verizon and t-mobile towers I believe. The coverage is fine and the prices are way lower.
Sounds good! I’ll check it out.
I switched to Mint Mobile several years ago (god, like 5 years ago now?) and haven’t looked back since
T-mobile bought Mint mobile back in March, so welcome back to T-Mobile
Boost or US Mobile are the new Mint. Think Boost actually has a chance of hanging around for a while since they are owned by Dish who is building out their own network of towers (think they just hit coverage of 70% of US). They also use both T-Mobile and AT&T for roaming with their rainbow sims, which is extremely rare. US Mobile is a Verizon MVNO… their “unlimited” package has the same priority as post-paid Verizon customers for the first 30gb each month, but I’m afraid they’re eventually going to get bought out by Verizon ala Mint.
I’m pretty happy with Google Fi. I realize it’s Google, which isn’t great, but at least they deliver exactly what they say they will and the price is always exactly as advertised.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they are taking a loss on it just to gain market share. They can afford it.
Yes, I tried Mint for a little bit and was very excited but I had poor signal for the short period I tested it. I admittedly did not go everywhere I go for business and travel so it’s not a fair review. Around where are you located, do you find good signal? Is it comparable to mainstream carriers?
