No way do i trust dish to offer good service. I will stick with my T-Mobile Connect $15/mo plan thanks.
Boost Mobile is in a competition with Cricket to be the worst possible option for cell phone service.
I know nothing about cricket since it runs on AT&T and AT&T hate almost any device that is unlocked. They make it nearly impossible to use an unlocked OEM device on their network. Verizon and T-Mobile are pretty good about letting you use whatever you want.
I mean....i Just moved from Ting/Verizon to Crickett. It works fine. The primary line is a verizon line but the device is unlocked after 60 days per Verizons Policy.
The biggest annoyance with Crickett/ATT is
-
ATT Passport Wifi cant be disabled permanently and is annoying
-
Crickett constantly sends spammy SMS messages to me.
I may just move to ATT pay as you go for a bit more. Have dual sim verizon is borderline pointless from a data perspective. And t-mo has shit coverage where i need it.
Cricket also tries to charge you a bunch of fees to pay your fees. They're predatory towards poor people.
I don’t understand? They have flat rates. But will take 5 bucks off if you do autopay.
I did notice they charged my card even though I had a negative balance (aka a credit). Which is odd.
That said their onboarding process is ridiculous and confusing. Even for me. And they try real hard to charge you 9 dollars for an esim.
But the fees are included in my monthly service charge.
It has been years since I tried Cricket, but back then they wanted to charge $5 to pay your bill unless you did it a very particular way. I think it was either pay by check or enroll in auto pay. Plus they had fees for a bunch of other stuff. They charged me $5 on my bill once because I went to the store to ask questions about my bill. Maybe they're better now, but I would never try again to find out. Plus the actual service was awful. There were dead spots all over my city.
Yeah dont get me wrong. Theres a reason i moved to crickett but havent moved the rest of my family yet, though most of the savings come with multiple accounts.
Like I said i dont like their onboarding process, having to use a burner account/number to get started, then setup an actual account. I also dont really trust their security, specifically with porting and IMEI etc.
That said, their billing is pretty straight forward. Its x dollars a month (60 for my plan) and if you do autopay they will credit 5 bucks. Like I said though, i had a -65 dollar balance, so unsure why i was even charged, i had a credit. And their support is total dogshit. LIke call at noon on a tuesday and still wait 45 minutes through 4 queues to talk to someone that just wants you off the line.
But their billing is pretty straightforward.
What device? i know AT&T maintains a very strict whitelist and if you are not using Samsung, Pixel, or a device they sell your device is unlikely to be in the whitelist.
Oh it’s an iPhone for sure.
But I also had a google pixel 4a with CalyxOS on it from time to time.
Ah, see both of those are whitelisted. Try anything from Motorola or OnePlus and you will quickly find your phone unusable even if it supports the correct radio bands.
