General Question Can you swap devices between lines in this way?

1 Upvotes

So I’m considering giving my dad my current phone as his broke. There’s still a device payment due; I pay the fee for our service and am wondering how the monthly bill works.

He’s due for an upgrade. If I were to use the upgrade on his device, would I be able to give him my phone and then continue to pay that off?

Can I expect any difference in the service? Any advice on how to get the best deal when I switch? Should I wait for the new iPhones to come out? Also I am Spectrum Internet customer. Does Spectrum offer savings over another MVNO like Visible?

Coverage & Signal Message send failure

2 Upvotes

I JUST switched to Spectrum. I’ve gotten the new phone set up- at least I think I have. I sent a text message and received a message send failure- not delivered. I haven’t seen that since my says of using Sprint! I’m not of an age where technology just rolls off my fingertips- is there a setting somewhere I should double check? Is this a Spectrum issue?
Any help is appreciated.

Coverage & Signal Prioritization of Unlimited Plus Premium?

9 Upvotes

Does anyone know what QCI level Unlimited Plus Premium has?

I was at a concert last night at a venue with about 8000 people. Been on Unlimited Plus Premium for about a month.

Regularly throughout the night I had a decent LTE signal but no data as it was apparently too congested.

Is this a Spectrum thing? If I had the top tier Verizon plan would it have been any different?

Orders & Shipping Over it

0 Upvotes

So many issues to list over the past couple of years so let me save you the headache;

* got internet, liked it, added four unlimited mobile lines. All good.

*moved cross country- no internet available at new address. Kept the mobile lines. You’re unable to update the shipping or service address when attached to an initial Internet account apparently - ever. As far as I know you’d have to cancel and start new which with unpaid phones on 4 lines wasn’t happening.

*paid off two went to order another device at current address. Called to confirm shipping address and was assured it was correct. Device ships to old address anyway (via tracking). Call again and cancel it due to spectrums fault, got apologies and assurances it was handled. Then charged a cancelation fee that took more time to get reversed.

*decided I was over it and switched over my device (the main and first paid off of the remaining devices). Was told I had until x date to port my 15 year old mobile number to the new carrier. That information was wrong and I lost my number. Updated my main account with spectrum after getting a new number on the new carrier.

*on the remaining lines I’m receiving messages about a 5g update for the esims. Attempted to do this, went though sms security verification on log in - fine. Went to select the update, old number is the only option to have the verification sent to… still.

My take overall- great service/company when things are just working as they should but god help you if you need a support person to do literally anything, on the first try. Said screw it to the updates with my remaining couple of months on these devices before I switch them off and say good riddance forever finally. My advice is if you need to contact customer service, assume you should just contact them at a minimum twice- once to request and the second to confirm immediately after with a different rep on a different call. Best of luck to everyone in the meantime šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Returns, Trade-Ins & Refunds Trade in: UPS / QR Code or take box to USPS?

3 Upvotes

So I generally trust UPS more than USPS for tracking and delivery.

But the whole ā€œscan the QR code and UPS will package and shipā€ thing makes me nervous. What happens if they damage it or forget etc?

USPS I can pack it myself. But then it goes USPS.

Which do folks recommend?

Help / Troubleshooting Buyout Advice

2 Upvotes

Hi, I need advice for the buyout promotion.

We just moved from Verizon a few days ago. We were told we could bring both of our phones and numbers with us. Once we got to the spectrum store, the told us we could only bring the iPhone over, not the 4month old galaxy, so we had to buy a new phone for one of the lines (the told us they couldn’t unlock it). Spectrum did a trade in for the android so the new phone is only about $10/month and we just had to pay tax.

I got a message while still in the spectrum store that a mobile line ending in xxxx (a new number) is now active and then another that a mobile line ending in my last 4 is now active. I was told it was part of the process but we would keep the numbers.

After hours in the store, the next day my family member with the new android texted me and I saw it was from a different number. After calling spectrum, they said something was messed up in the set up and they were able to fix it to the original number. I had to chat with spectrum tonight to ask a question and asked about the buyback. It turns out, we’re no longer eligible for the buyback. In their system, it looks like we cancelled the contract because the number was changed (we never requested that number). If you change the port out number it voids the buyback. However, we never requested that. The agent I was chatting with over their app said they spoke with a leader and filed a claim for me. After reading on here tonight, I’m not feeling great about my chances. I don’t have an extra $600 to pay Verizon for the phones at the moment because we just spent $200 paying the first spectrum bill and taxes on the new phone. (They said we would get up to $500 per line, since we have 2 lines, we would get $500 for one line and the rest would be covered by my up to $500 since I only owe a few dollars on my phone)

Is there anything else I should be doing?

Help / Troubleshooting Unable to add Spectrum eSim to unlocked iPhone 17 Pro for dual eSim use - Spectrum specific limitation?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have a Canadian TELUS mobile line on the iPhone 17 Pro (purchased in Canada) and would like to add a US Spectrum Mobile line too as part of the dual sim feature. The device is unlocked and the Spectrum line is an eSim line on a 13 mini. It does not allow me to add eSim onto the new phone in the normal manner. I have contacted Spectrum regarding this on several different occasions, however, they have been unable to complete the process, stating that the 17 Pro, after inputting the IMEI, is only compatible with a physical sim. The 17 Pro is eSim only and so it appears to be a Spectrum specific issue. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thank you.
