| adom | hey all. just looking around at cell phone plans yet again. i'd love to go month-to-month prepaid, but unsure still. most non-mainstream service carriers (i.e. Cricket, Virgin Mobile, etc) use AT&T, T-Mobile, or Sprint's cellular signal...anyone know of a non-mainstream provider that uses Verizon's cell signal? or for that matter do any of them get Verizon's LTE signal??? | 16:38 |
|---|---|---|
| marcoceppi | adom: I just use TMobile | 16:51 |
| adom | marcoceppi: that's who I use now and want to switch | 17:03 |
| adom | you get signal anywhere near DC? | 17:04 |
| adom | yeah you probably get good signal that close to DC | 17:04 |
| adom | down here in Woodbridge they suck | 17:04 |
| adom | talking with TMo support chat now to see if I can get ETF waiver for bad signal because i moved down here | 17:05 |
| adom | unsure how it will go | 17:05 |
| marcoceppi | adom: I get 4G and great wifi speeds in falls church | 17:16 |
| marcoceppi | and all around the beltway | 17:16 |
| adom | marcoceppi: well, great wifi speeds isn't important right? wifi works with all smartphones. down in Woodbridge, if I'm not on wifi, then I get maybe 1 or 2 bars around the area and inside my townhouse I get zero signal. | 17:25 |
| marcoceppi | well, wifi speed being internet download speeds | 17:25 |
| marcoceppi | I've got full blown bars here :\ | 17:25 |
| adom | so if my internet goes out, I have to use gf's phone to call support. so if she's out or not home from work, I have to go outside and stand still to get a call out. | 17:25 |
| adom | I'm on wifi here in the data center, but zero bars of cell signal. | 17:26 |
| adom | screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z1qsqclew1r1qd1/2013-12-16%2012.26.11.png | 17:29 |
| adom | I should also mention, my phone isn't rooted. Completely stock. | 17:30 |
| marcoceppi | adom: yeah, I use stock android/nexus 4 here | 17:34 |
| adom | Man this sucks, if I have my way, I don't want to use a contract ever again. Just going to buy my future phone(s) with a credit card if necessary, then go month-to-month. | 17:48 |
| adom | I'm on the phone-payment plan for T-Mobile so I have like $200 left on the phone I think, but I still have to pay early termination fee if I break contract early. If I bought the phone with a credit card and paid that off while using a no-contract plan, at least then I would be able to change service providers without paying a $200 early termination fee. | 17:49 |
| adom | damn cell phone providers. have me by me balls. | 17:49 |
| ChinnoDog | You could sell/trade your contract | 17:57 |
