I sent in two phones for an offered $1600 total promotional bill credits.

One phone rejected, for the reason: “won’t power on”. I videoed myself opening the box on the returned phone, pressing the power button, and turning the phone on, booting into Pixel setup.

The other, Spectrum is trying to give me $200 credit for.

I spent hours on the phone with support from both of these scam companies. Do not deal with either of them, you have been warned.

    So you’re paying $19 for 1GB and unlimited text/voice, plus another $15 most months for overages?

    You can get 2GB with unlimited text/voice for $10/mo or $96/yr ($8/mo paid upfront) through US Mobile. You get your choice of Verizon, T-Mobile, or I believe they’re adding AT&T very soon. You can add a rollable GB for $2 a pop, but I’m not 100% sure you can if you pay up front for a year of the $8/mo price.

    They also have a 10GB and unlimited plans for less than you’re paying, if I’m understanding your statements correctly.

      In six years I’ve one gone over the 1GB data plan, on two occasions, costing $15 each time for a total of $30. I’m perfectly happy with my Spectrum Mobile service.
