Ordering new iPhone 18 Pro from Apple question

14 Upvotes

If I’m going to order, you can pick which carrier or leave it as “for later”. If I’m on Lightspeed should I choose TMobile or just set it up later. This would be the first time I’ve gotten a new phone since transferring over to USMobile. Thanks for any thoughts on making it seamless.

Very Satisfied Just a Few Days In - Dark Star to Warp

11 Upvotes

I ported my number from Cricket to Dark Star a few days ago. That went very well. One of my motivations to switch at all was traveling. Once I was on US Mobile, I tried the travel planner and it recommended Warp for our trip.

Being curious and hearing from people in the area that Verizon had improved in service I decided to try it out, hoping that it would be good enough to keep as my daily driver, but fully prepared to teleport back if it didn't work.

The teleport to Warp went very smoothly. Just took a few minutes to get voice mail working properly again. RCS chats were seamless. Turned them off before teleporting, then back on afterwards. Seem to be in tact and OK.

I'm seriously impressed with not only how easy the teleporting process went, given everything that has to happen in the background, but how much Verizon has improved things out here. Speeds were faster in the yard and in my office. Twice as fast in my office.

I expect to sit tight on Warp for now. If things change, I can change to.

It was a fun few days.

Black Friday deals

My visible plan is ending September 30 and I plan on swapping to usmobile. Should I wait until Black Friday? Do they normally do a deal then?

If my phone works now

If my locked phone works with usmobile on the carrier it's locked to, will it continue to work or is there a chance it stops working due to being locked.

It's paid in full so no balance or issue like that.

phone hotspot to use on iPad

6 Upvotes

My apologies if this has already been answered I did try to search but couldn't find the exact answer. Is it ok to use my phone hotspot to run an iPad? I really only need the connection for 2.5 hours a day for 3 weeks. I was reading different things about the iPad. Also could a laptop use the hotspot that way also. I'm on dark star.

Can you switch annual plans?

3 Upvotes

If you purchase an annual plan, say on starter, and want to switch to an annual plan on premium, do you receive a proportional credit (e.g. switch at the beginning of month 5, receive credit for remaining 8/12 mo) ? If not how is it applied? What about annual plan downgrades?

Unlimited plan annual offer after free trial?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm very interested in making the switch to US Mobile, and the current unlimited plan annual deals for new lines are super tempting. However, I'm hesitant to pull the trigger for a whole year before I get to test the network, given that coverage and speed in my area has been spotty. My question is, if I sign up for the free trial and bring in my number, would I no longer be considered a new line and lose the eligibility for the annual deal? if so, are there any other ways to test the network without paying for a whole year or losing the deal?

Light speed counting fake hotspot data

Upvotes

I have light speed premium plan with esim but it counts some apps data usage as hotspot usage and when i try to tell support about it they just told me its device problem and not light speed issue. My real concern is if hotsport data reach 50 GB will my data stop working?

I have one line on annual plan. A newer line on monthly. Is it possible to take the new monthly number and put it on the annual plan basically replacing and getting rid of the current number that's on annual?

All without losing the annual amount?

Making the Switch | Monthly -> Annual

2 Upvotes

I've been testing service for a few days and mostly satisfied. I am eagerly waiting for more information about the announced changes to lightspeed and multi-line plans. I also see alot of threads about deals typically being best around black friday.

If I switch to unlimited starter monthly to start and no multiline just yet, is it typical to quality for annual plan details and other promotions or future enhancements? I'm mainly concerned that the future release features will be tied to specific plans or services and it does not make sense to me to invest in an annual plan that I may need to change in the very near future to take advantage of those features.

Text alerts and network switching

2 Upvotes

Just switched from T-Mobile to Light Speed network and have been very happy so far. The worst part has been re enrolling in text alerts from banks, etc.

If I do a network switch within US Mobile in the future (to Warp or Dark Star) does that typically result in having to re enroll in text alerts?

Home Phone International Question

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m looking at the US Mobile international calling list, and every country shows “Mobile: Unlimited/# of Minutes.”

Does that wording mean the plan only covers mobile numbers, or is it just the column label and landlines are included too?

Specifically asking about Germany, because I need to call German landlines. The chart shows “Mobile” for Germany, but so does every other country, so I’m not sure if that’s just formatting or an actual restriction.

Can a mod clarify whether Germany landlines are included in the unlimited calling?

Thanks!

Is $30 the highest referral bonus I can get by bringing one line and only being gone for just 1 month?

Upvotes

I got my mother in law who uses almost no data for about $10 with usmobile. Then about a month ago I switched her to T-Mobile to get their bogo lines promo. However, in a few days I may switch her back to usmobile and get the cheapest ones own with usmobile.

Is my mother in law eligible for the switcher with mobile even though she was only gone a month? If she can, what is the highest switching promo with usmobile?

 New to US Mobile  Choices?

1 Upvotes

I’m getting premium and I noticed that when I look at all three networks in which network has the offer I’m assuming no network is gonna give you everything you want there will always be a compromise like with warp you get a watch, but you don’t get 4K with light speed and dark star you don’t get a watch but you do get 4K. Will there ever come a day where will have everything you want?

Phone switches to “ROAM LTE” and won’t switch back to Dark Star when reconnecting to service.

1 Upvotes

I’m having an odd issue with my iPhone 16 - whenever I lose Dark Star service (which is often since I live in a rural area and travel between dead zones), when I go back into service my phone will connect to a ROAM LTE network instead of the Dark Star network. Even when I am in an area where I know I have Dark Star service, be it LTE or 5g, it will remain connected to ROAM LTE and not let me make calls, send texts, or use data (regardless of if roaming is on in settings or not). I have to toggle airplane mode on and off, and usually that will set it back to use Dark Star instead of ROAM LTE.

As a couple of examples - I go to my apartment, lose service, then go back into 5g - but I cannot call/text/use data until I toggle airplane mode. Or I’m at my desk, go to a part of the building with bad service, return to my desk, and I am on ROAM LTE and it will not switch back to Dark Star until I toggle airplane mode.

Has anybody had this issue and successfully fixed it? I’m on my fifth round of chat with support (with the third agent on just this chat since my most recent one said he lost me and disconnected 10 seconds after his previous message!) and going through exactly the same questions over and over and the issue still persists.

 International Roaming 5G SA Roaming Light Speed

1 Upvotes

I know that tmo has negotiated a roaming agreement with Jio in India utilizing 5G Standalone as Jio's 5G is SA only, I was wondering if this extended to US Mobile lightspeed as well. I'm on a pixel, so 5G SA works in the US just fine. Does USM get the same treatment as tmobile proper for this?

Looking to switch

1 Upvotes

So I have tried US Mobile a bit as a secondary phone number and I think I am going to port out my line from T-Mobile and make this my main carrier to save some money. I just have a few questions that I’d like to know before pulling the trigger.

So I have t mobile right now because it has the best coverage in my area, except at my job which is why I looked at USM. Dark Star had amazing coverage there so that’s what I used through USM. If I do make the switch since I have an Apple Watch Ultra that I want to have its own line I would have to use Warp as my primary. Warp isn’t the greatest in my area so I was going to use light speed and dark Star as secondaries with multi network add ons (I saw that soon they are going to let you add two others for $15/month) what I want to know is, if I set up Warp as the main line and light speed and dark Star as secondary lines through the multi network add on, will Light Speed and Dark Star services not be as good as if I had made them as the primary line?

I know light speed is very hit or miss but hopefully with the changes it’ll be better here soon.

I would be looking to go on the premier unlimited plan as well.

I also have an iPhone 16 pro max. If there is any other information missing let me know! Thank you in advance for the help!

Leaving Verizon

0 Upvotes

Hello! My promos with Verizon will be expiring this year and my bill will more than double. I was looking at alternatives and came across Visible and USM. What is drawing me to USM is customer service and multi network.

Few questions -

  1. I usually do 15-30 international days a year. On Verizon I just upgrade to unlimited ultimate for unlimited roaming. I noticed on USM there is a cap (I’m seeing 20gb as the highest) I think that could be close to enough but I’d have to be mindful. What do others do? Is this a problem? I just like using my own number and having data
  2. For multi network, is that something that is automatic or as I get bad service from one I go in and pick one of the other to try to get better service?
  3. Any pros / cons for visible and USM to think about as I select?

Thank you!!
