[@karlseelig8368]

Thanks for investing your time and efforts to make such a wonderful review.

[@StetsonDoggett]

You're welcome! Thanks for the nice comment.

[@Dominick7]

+Stetson Doggett Can you receive calls or does it have to go to voicemail/text etc? Also wonder how you think it compares to Freedompop, which you think is better. Great review video btw ty.

[@StetsonDoggett]

Dominick7 Your phone rings normally when you receive a phone call. I haven't tested out Freedompop, but just based on the website I'd say RingPlus is better. It's very easy to tell which plan you're signing up for, and the plans are all super affordable.

[@Dominick7]

+Stetson Doggett cool beans. They're doing some nice flash deals before April 17th with the cut off for being able to use pre paid phones on regular plans (as they're being played on slickdeals.net). Glad to know. Hope my Moto E arrives in time for another flash sale. Thanks for answering.

[@jeremykurowski519]

Damn dude, good job, you deserve all the views for this.

[@Tooob]

You have some control over what ad plays when placing a phone call. On your account page, select RingPlus Radio and you can subscribe to various feeds. I subscribed to the Tech News feed and now all I hear is short headlines about news articles.

[@DrElectron1]

Very nicely done review of R+. However, you should note that to get started with R+, if you select a Sprint compatible 3G phone, a SIM is not needed. Also, if you purchase a new 4G LTE phone from Boost, Virgin or Sprint PrePaid, it will generally come with a SIM that can be activated on R+.

[@gblargg]

+DrElectron1 Also, if you get a prepaid phone new from the store, go activate it on RingPlus *before* you open the box and turn the phone on (all the codes are on the bottom of the box). Then once RingPlus has confirmed activation, just turn on the phone and it'll do it all automatically without any hassle. I recently got a Boost Mobile phone from Best Buy on sale and it activated perfectly like this.

[@MysteriousSystems]

Thanks for the review man. My uncle is giving me a iPhone 5S because he got a new phone and I already have a phone but am looking for a free plan so I can use the iPhone as a secondary device.. I appreciate the the review!

[@StetsonDoggett]

You're welcome!

[@nycliving5798]

Stetson Doggett ringplus is dead now no more free plan

[@yesubabu2880]

Man u r beast.. not sure how much effort you made on this video..I am going to try ring plus and see how it works..

[@Tooob]

Note, that currently on RingPlus there is a delay between when the party being called answers and when the ad stops on my phone. It is around 3 seconds. When I called my mother for example, she said hello twice but I only heard the second one. Because of the silence, she thinks it is a telemarketer and I hope RingPlus can work on reducing this delay. I'd rather they play 5 seconds of an ad before placing the call and connect immediately upon answer.

[@yanwentu5715]

RingPlus is awesome! If your phone support Sprint network and the Sprint coverage was great in your area, then try RingPlus! None of those carriers can beat R+ free plans.

[@SimplisticallyDigital]

Fantastic review. I am thinking of starting with their free plan for a bit then upgrade.

[@pamelamclean9209]

Out of all the comments I've read sounds like the service is really good!!!!!

[@SimplisticallyDigital]

+Pamela McLean I made a video about it as well. I like it!

[@dieuduong7178]

"The IN, CALL, TRANSLATOR." LOL!!! Awesome review, I'm subscribing! And I got Ringplus now for my mom!!

[@StetsonDoggett]

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear it!

[@dieuduong7178]

Just got for my mom: A Kyocera DuraXT E4277, one of the last great flip phones made before the market got innundated with smartphones. Durable rubber housing, waterproof, really robust, MILITARY GRADE. I happened to get this one in excellent condition for $15 free shipping (avg price is $20) Really great battery life (8hrs talk, a week standby). Possibly the best phone you can get for that elderly loved one that's tech challenged. Ah yes, no frills, text capable, so you can remind your absent-minded loved when to take their meds, and what year it is. Send pictures and other data, like useful instructions with visuals on how to get out of being trapped in the guest room closet. Or, they can just call you, to have you come over and explain why they're not getting any channels on their "TV" between Popcorn 1 and Defrost...the best part, of course, FREE service from Ringsplus!!! Yes, life could be a little more independent for that lovably forgetful relative of yours. Now they can have their own number to give out....just make sure it's not their social or credit card...

[@Browningate]

Sounds almost like a friendlier version of FreedomPop with epic voicemail and fun, gimmicky features. I like it. Not enough to give up my SERO plan on my main phone, but enough to consider trying it on a secondary device.

[@daniellee7484]

What network do you use on your sero plan?

[@Browningate]

Daniel Lee Sero is a (legendary) Sprint plan.

[@xmonger]

Great review! Simply the best bang for the buck cell plans. I've been a happy customer for the last several months.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+xmonger I agree! But only in areas with good Sprint coverage.

[@gblargg]

I just want to point out a caveat if you're planning on testing with the truly free plan then upgrading to a better free plan which requires a non-refundable payment to establish a balance. Some free plans are considered promotions which you aren't allowed to upgrade to if you started with the truly free plan, so the only way to get these plans is to cancel your truly free plan, wait a month with no phone service, then sign up fresh and choose the promotional free plan. The plans page and the plan details pages don't tell which free plans are considered promotions, so you'll have to use Google to research them. For example the Michelangelo plan is considered a promotion. I made the mistake of using the truly free plan to test service but then couldn't upgrade to Michelangelo a day later, so here I am waiting a month with no phone service. Customer service confirmed that this really is the case. Meh. EDIT: Upgrading to a "paid" plan is possible at any time even if you start with the Truly Free 2 plan. The above limitation is only if you're upgrading to a different free plan that's considered a promotion. My critique is just that one naturally starts with the truly free plan to be sure service works before paying a non-refundable fee, but that their rules penalize you for this and don't even make clear the limitation until after you've already signed up and can't undo that choice.

[@StetsonDoggett]

Huh, good to know. Seems a little strange though. I was able to switch from the Rivera plan to the Tuly Free 2 plan with no issues. The change took effect right away.

[@gblargg]

+Stetson Doggett I was referring to switching to one of the _promotional_ free plans, like Michelangelo. That requires canceling the line for a month first.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+blargg Ohhh, okay. So you'd be able to upgrade from the Truly Free 2 plan to a normal paid plan then, like Miro plan, just not a promotional plan like the Michelangelo?

[@gblargg]

Stetson Doggett Yes, exactly. I'll add a clarification to the first post.

[@eric853]

changed my mind from switching to freedompop or H2O wireless.

[@rissa8094]

Can you do a video on how to setup ringplus on an iphone 7 plus, this would really help me out

[@susiemurray6238]

They do not support GSM phones, only Sprint unlocked or off contract phones

[@PaulRSmith-ky6qg]

RingPlus sent out an e-mail several hours ago letting customers know Sprint will be terminating their plans on February 11, 2017 at 5 PM U. S. Central Time. They have requested Sprint and a judge to give them more time in a lawsuit they filed against Sprint. Here is a copy/paste of the e-mail. RingPlus conveniently ignores how much of their ongoing problems are a direct result of bad management decisions made by RingPlus. While some on the RingPlus forums are taking a "going down with the ship" position, it's best to port out if your RingPlus number is one you don't want to lose. You will lose any Top-up balance if you have any, but you won't risk losing the number. RingPlus is a great example of how not to implement an MVNO since it pretty much took every bad business concept and implemented them. Had they implemented good business concepts, the company wouldn't be in this predicament. IMPORTANT information about your phone service IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT YOUR SERVICE Dear Members, As many of you know, RingPlus operates on the Sprint network. SPRINT HAS NOTIFIED RINGPLUS THAT IT PLANS TO STOP ALL SERVICES TO RINGPLUS AND ITS SUBSCRIBERS ON FEBRUARY 11, 2017 AT 5:00 PM CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME. RingPlus has an open line of communication with Sprint regarding this issue. RingPlus has requested that Sprint give us all 30 days before service is turned off to allow you more time to find another wireless provider. If Sprint does not agree, RingPlus will file a motion with the court for an injunction to prevent Sprint from stopping service on February 11, 2017 at 5:00 pm Central Daylight Time. As many of you know, RingPlus has sued Sprint. The lawsuit is public information. You can access public documents through a variety of online sources such as PACER (www.pacer.gov/). While it is not RingPlus’ policy to discuss ongoing litigation, we feel you have a right to know. What this means for you: As of the time of this Notice, Sprint plans to turn off all service to you and RingPlus on February 11, 2017 at 5:00 pm Central Daylight Time. (As noted above, RingPlus is trying to get that to be 30 days.) Your phone service will stop. You will not be able to use your RingPlus services including cellular talk, text or data. If you would like to keep your phone number, you would need to move it to another wireless provider before February 11, 2017 at 5:00 pm Central Daylight Time (i.e., port out your number). RingPlus will update you about major developments, and provide you links to other wireless providers that would happy to serve you in future. Best regards, RingPlus

[@Surtistuff]

You got that message with 3G because that's how CDMA works.. When you go from LTE, a GSM based service to 3G a CDMA based service on Sprint. So the network has to re-authenticate you when you go from LTE to 3G and because of this you have to wait until you lose 3G and then get it back again for 3G to really work.. It's just how CDMA works.. There is nothing Sprint/Verizon or RingPlus can do.

[@isaacescobar3607]

i need help i have my iphone 5s and it says this phone is currently in use but can still be activated ......... so i tried and it won't work

[@joeladriancasas5150]

Hey Stetsons I have a sprint iPhone but has an unpaid balance. Can it be used on this carrier?

[@roycemclain5372]

Great review! You can't beat free cell service

[@daveheel]

good video. ringplus has gone up to about 3.5GB of free data depending on the offer. i'm hoping they will offer 4GB or even 5GB soon.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+daveheel Yeah. It's an insanely good deal if you can deal with the ads.

[@daveheel]

if you use data mostly, you don't get ads. i don't mind the music on hold for calling. find it hard to believe ringplus makes much from that. most of their income must come from each new sign-up. here's hoping they stay in business. :)

[@daveheel]

thanks. yeah, i got in on it last night. i've got more gb than i'll ever need.

[@ytsejam58]

I absolutely HATE unecesary ads... and modern pop music drives crazy since I work in retail... which plays modern pop 24/7. checking this out because Dad recommended it to me, but honestly, Ive been looking at google fi

[@MysteriousSystems]

Scott Karrasch you can change what ads you like news differnt music etc hope this helped

[@LuisXLT4772]

Just wanted to say... your videos are real informative. Thanks!

[@sethdu8352]

I cannot find a reason to get a paid plan unless you need unlimited talk.Depending on what the plan is, The free plans have a lot of minutes and are way cheaper in the long term.

[@jeffscomp]

Cricket's data is better but of course you have to pay a minimum $35 for service. In an utter emergency with little to no income a person could turn to ringplus.

[@toontownlegomaster]

so is there built in Wi-Fi calling now.

[@FubarMike]

The overages cost less than my current pay as you go rate on my current plan. Too bad it's sprint though. Wish it were on ATT as well

[@StetsonDoggett]

If you are interested in free cell service on AT&T, consider checking out my FreedomPop review! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZqVp52Xj8t2mtE

[@FubarMike]

I did already but I have to say I don't like it as much. I mean both services have their flaws. Ringplus uses sprint which has spotty coverage in my area and would require me getting a new and probably crappy phone to use with it. Freedompop uses AT&T which is good but their app they force you to use is utter crap. My favorite of the two based on reviews would be ringplus but recently I heard sprint changed things so you can't just take a boost mobile for example phone and immediately use it on ringplus without having used it on its original carrier for a at least a year. I was literally about to order a cheap boost mobile or sprint phone and give it a try on ring plus but guess not now

[@StetsonDoggett]

FubarMike You could consider ordering a Sprint compatible phone from Swappa: swappa.com/buy/devices/sprint

[@cncrim1]

This Video need to be update to date, so much change Ringplus has made.

[@yesubabu2880]

my factory unlocked Moto g is not working. Every time it is showing my device imei is not found in ringplus phone checking website. They dont have customer support. They allow only chatting.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+jaffa kedaffa Do you know which Moto G you have? Is it the Moto G 2nd gen., or the Moto G 3rd gen.? The 2nd gen will not work with RingPlus because it only supports GSM carriers and RingPlus is a CDMA carrier that uses the Sprint network. If you have the 3rd gen, then it may support RingPlus, but it depends on which model you have. Model XT1540 (the GSM model) will NOT work with RingPlus, but model XT1548 (the CDMA model) should work with RingPlus just fine.

[@TheSuyash20]

Can I make/receive the occasional international call on a per minute rate? And what's the difference between the "Mad" and "Premium" plans? Thanks

[@StetsonDoggett]

I believe you'll just be charged overage charges for international calls. I think it's like 4 cents per minute or something like that. I'm honestly not to sure about RingPlus's international calling support though, so you may want look into that. Check out their website and consider contacting customer support. Sorry I cannot help you further!

[@royalstevens2502]

Hello I was wondering if RingPlus would work on an unactivated iPhone SE if I ordered a SIM card?

[@StetsonDoggett]

If it is an unlocked iPhone SE, then yes, it should work totally fine on the RingPlus network if you order a compatible SIM card.

[@wholeNwon]

Great review! Very helpful. Thanks a lot for posting.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+wholeNwon You're welcome!

[@Glenn-g5e]

This might be a stupid question but when RingPlus says the Amano plan is $0 monthly and $27+tax top-up for 750MB Full-Speed 4G LTE, does this data limit reset after 30 days? or are you basically paying for 750MB of 4G LTE and then topping up the next month for another 750MB?

[@StetsonDoggett]

The entire plan resets every 30 days. You are only deducted money from your top up if you go over any of your limits before the end of the 30 days.

[@Glenn-g5e]

Thanks!

[@rgsoni]

Oh, by the way...excellent job Stetson.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Ramesh Soni Thank you, Ramesh!

[@zjrandom]

PLEASE HELP! I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THIS SERVICE! I have a question about the auto top-up. If you have the Rivera plan do you get refilled data every month with just the $12.99 charge or do you have to pay the $15 auto top up for the Gig of data even if you don't burn through it in a month. So if you use 500MB of data in one month, does it go back to 1 Gig the next month or does it stay at 500mb until you use it all, then you have to pay the top up? PLEASE! NEED HELP!

[@StetsonDoggett]

+zjrandom When you first sign up for the Rivera plan, you pay the initial top-up fee of $15.00, and you also pay the monthly fee of $12.99 for the first month of service. Once you have signed up, you will pay $12.99/month and your plan will completely reset each month. The auto top-up is only used to pay for overage charges, such as MMS messages and data overages. If you never go over your data limit or send MMS messages, then you'll just pay the $12.99/month fee for the plan. You will only be billed the auto top-up fee if you receive a lot of overage charges and your account balance becomes $0.00.

[@mrrglo1]

anybody know if RingPlus is available to Canadians?

[@rgsoni]

If I buy an LG G4 on Ebay (Sprint)...do I need to buy some universal SIM card too?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Ramesh Soni I believe so, yes. It may depend on whether the LG G4 ships with a SIM card pre-installed. If there is no rush, I suggest ordering the phone first and seeing if it comes with a SIM card before ordering a universal SIM card from RingPlus.

[@rgsoni]

+Stetson Doggett Thanks friend.

[@JellyPlayss]

Please do a review on freedom pop. Debating on which one to get.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+JellyPlays I'll look into it!

[@kuwala]

+JellyPlays Get ringplus its way better, no need for the crappy freedompop app to make calls.

[@HAAAAXXXXX]

I have an Asus Zenfone 2 and I attempted to signup for said service. But both my IMEI 1/2 can't be registered, and my icc id can't be registered.. Anything on this?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+uwotm8 Try verifying the information you entered is correct. Otherwise your phone may not be compatible. The IMEI can be found in the phone settings, and the ICC ID is the SIM card number. You need to have one of the Sprint universal SIM cards to enter this number correctly, so that could be the problem for the ICC ID. (Your ICC ID will change based on which SIM card you have in your phone).

[@kimberlyfilbert4628]

I got an iPhones 6 and it's say it's compatiable but the phone is coming from sprint with some unpaid bills, could I still bring it over?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Hmm... That's a good question. Technically yes, the phone WILL work on RingPlus because it has all the correct LTE antenna bands, but I'm uncertain if the outstanding balance may have an effect. To be safe I suggest you pay any outstanding balances on the phone so you own the phone completely. You could also try ordering a RingPlus SIM card and seeing if it will work.

[@gemdropsjewelry]

Are there any plans that you don't have to listen to the ads? Also, are they using regular cell service or Voip?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Yes, RingPlus recently introduced Mad Plans where you pay a monthly fee and do not need to listen to ads. RingPlus uses regular cell service via the Sprint network.

[@icyguys]

So if I'm not wrong. A top up at first just gets put into the account (its $15 right now) so $15 gets into the account and if I go over that'll pay it off but if it's $0 it'll add another $15 to the account... what if u never went over.. will it just have $15 in it and not charge you anymore?

[@StetsonDoggett]

This is correct. $15 top up. The money will only be used for overages. If you never go over, you'll never have to pay again. If you do go over and your balance reaches zero, you'll have to pay the $15 again.

[@icyguys]

Stetson Doggett so u mean to say it'll use the first $15 u used if u were to go over the next month.... that it'll charge u that $15. Bc I just want to make sure I'm not adding more money to it

[@StetsonDoggett]

The $15 is payed upon initial sign up. The $15 is used to pay for overage charges. The $15 will last until the overage charges bring it down to zero. Whenever this occurs, you will automatically be billed another $15. If you never go over, you will never have to pay the $15 again.

[@icyguys]

Stetson Doggett ok Thankyou. Can you potentially make a video on how to manage Data on ring plus?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Living Human Certainly! There is an app I use to manage data, so I'll probably do a video on that.

[@deadcarrotmusescore814]

Would this work with a galaxy s7 or s7 edge?

[@StetsonDoggett]

If the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge is compatible with the Sprint network, then it should work fine on RingPlus! Cosider checking out willmyphonework.net

[@lnarreola1]

I have a T-Mobile iPhone 5s locked to T-Mobile, if I get It unlocked can I use it with sprint? Thank you.

[@StetsonDoggett]

Check willmyphonework.net/

[@daniellee7484]

Hey Stetson couple questions for you. how did you activate your iPhone on ring plus?what did you put as your meid?I have a Verizon iPhone 6s Plus,will it work? Love your videos

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Daniel Lee I purchased a Sprint SIM card from RingPlus for $15, and I used MEID of my iPhone, which can be found in settings > general > MEID. The Verizon iPhone 6s Plus should work on RingPlus, just as long as it is not in contract.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Daniel Lee You can buy the Sprint SIM card for $15 shipped here: store.ringplus.net/SIMGLW436C_p_22.html

[@daniellee7484]

I also wonder if ring plus would work on my Verizon iPhone 5c

[@picobeltre6015]

+Daniel Lee yea its need to be unlocked tho and get a sprint sim i have 5c from verizon and i got it unlocked

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Daniel Lee You may also be able to get a Sprint SIM card from the Apple Store for free.

[@andrewperez6848]

Thanks

[@jessalynw8801]

Did you get iMessage to work with your R+ number? I can only get it to work with my apple ID

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Jessalyn Wong Yes. Just turn on iMessage and wait for it to activate. It may take a while, but it should work.

[@DailyDoseofLucy1]

hello it's me once again! i have another question! can my phone that is on ring plus be an emergency phone? like being inactive for 3-5 months and still works when used?

[@StetsonDoggett]

I am unsure. I suggest contacting RingPlus customer support and asking them: support.ringplus.net/support/home

[@katwolf4702]

As long as you make some outgoing calls every 60 days then your account will stay active. RingPlus is ad-supported so by making outgoing calls you hear the ads that help "pay" for the service. Quoted from the RingPlus Legal & Terms of Service as of this data: "If you do not make calls using your Free Plan for 60 days, RingPlus may, in its sole discretion and without notice, expire, suspend, terminate or downgrade your Service"

[@guanwei832]

Can you do a video with plans with the cheapest data plans

[@StetsonDoggett]

Consider checking out my Best Cell Phone Plans 2016 video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4HEm2yAj6t2jdU&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z12gvt34utfhtxw0u223i5j51srej1jqc04

[@ifuckyourgirl6826]

So I have a iphone 5c,do I need to get a certain sim card to activate it?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Yes. You can buy the SIM card you need here: store.ringplus.net/SIMGLW436C_p_22.html

[@vigneshmuthuraj4765]

I have an unlocked iPhone 6. On the RP website the sim states as a CDMA sim. Will it work with my phone ? Thanks

[@vigneshmuthuraj4765]

In case I get a sim from a sprint store should I ask for a postpaid or prepaid. GSM or CDMA ?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+vignesh muthuraj Yes, your iPhone 6 will work on RingPlus.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+vignesh muthuraj Sprint is a CDMA carrier, so you'd have to get a CDMA SIM card. Instead of going to a Sprint store, you may actually want to go to an Apple Store. I think I've heard you can get a Sprint SIM card for free at the Apple Store.

[@hondacbrico5866]

do i have to unlock my sprint galaxy mega to use this service?

[@StetsonDoggett]

If you can unlock it, I definitely would! You should be all right though.

[@davidmoore4562]

Can you use Google hangouts with ringplus?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Yes, but I believe RingPlus' terms and conditions require you to place at least one phone call every 60 days (or something like that). This is because RingPlus generates ad revenue whenever you place a phone call, and they need you to place a certain number of phone calls to compensate for their insanely affordable plans.

[@omarjohn9715]

+Stetson Doggett did u try using whatsapp or viber or anything thats similar because I heard freedompop's # is rejected but dont know about ringplus

[@StetsonDoggett]

With many prepaid cell services, it is a good idea to use your main number with Google Voice and Hangouts and use the cell service for a data connection. I did not try using WhatsApp or Viber with my RingPlus number, but WhatsApp did work when I used my Google Voice number, so again, looks like Google Voice will solve any problems. Check out my Google Voice and Hangouts video for more info! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHnPmqOEjtNlas0

[@ytsejam58]

ill do the free plan first, see if I like it. and then if I don't. go with fi. would something like the Axon 7 or Motorola work on that

[@Youmad721]

Scott Karrasch no only google phones work on fi

[@ytsejam58]

No, i meam with the free plan

[@Youmad721]

Scott Karrasch. Oh if the phone is unlocked then yes

[@hahahaha7023]

Dont waste your time - im coming from there now searching for new provider - they suspended my phone without notification because they were redoing their plans. Not only this - SUPPORT FORGET IT Used to be good before 1.5 - 2 years but now its complete CR@P

[@hahahaha7023]

ALSO they are pushing their awfully stupid dialer app - so you need internet in order to make a call - VERY SMART !!!! btw freedompop also use dial app but at least SOMETIMES you can get support

[@sayg2007]

Does RingPlus offer data roll over option like FreedomPop ?

[@StetsonDoggett]

No.

[@sayg2007]

That's a bummer. But thanks.

[@alexmoran6340]

Will I be able to port in a number from another, non-Sprint carrier?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Yes.

[@rissa8094]

Can you do a video on how to setup ringplus on an iphone 7 plus, this would really help me out

[@adamgriffin7001]

is it true that ringplus is getting shut down and I will have to find a new cell phone service provider?

[@hostility2245]

Tello is an option.

[@KevinGewaid]

Is ringplus discontinued

[@DeUndefined1]

Your mad late buddy. But Stenson already made a video about it.

[@alexxx7066]

No, I'm still on ring plus.

[@blurblesquid8006]

Does your phone have to be unlocked, or can it be locked to sprint? Since it uses the sprint carrier.

[@stetsdogg8656]

It's probably best if the phone is unlocked, but a locked Sprint phone will probably work fine with RingPlus.

[@OsamaAltobuli]

stetsdoggvlogs Is there anyway that I can used unlocked GSM phone with their network?

[@sonleq987]

I got an unlocked iphone 4s...will this service works?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Try checking willmyphonework.net/. If it's a Verizon or Spring iPhone 4s, then it will most likely work. If it's an AT&T iPhone 4s, it won't work.

[@sarahkyes635]

Can you use PayPal for the monthly payments?

[@StetsonDoggett]

I think you need a card on file.

[@bobbycool8406]

so i can just buy any sprint smartphone off swappa and activate it with ring plus?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Make sure the phone is unlocked and compatible with the Sprint network, and it should work fine on RingPlus!

[@bobbycool8406]

cool, thanks!

[@OnlyThomasHayes]

Great review, man

[@andrewperez6848]

Does it work on my unlocked iPhone 6plus?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Andrew Perez Yes. The iPhone 6 Plus has the correct antenna bands to work on RingPlus.

[@DailyDoseofLucy1]

heyy man i really need your help. i have a note 3 unlocked from at&t. will it work on my phone? i tried checkin it on the check your device but it keeps saying they could not find it make sure that i entered the imei right. please i really need help. thank you

[@StetsonDoggett]

Check willmyphonework.net

[@DailyDoseofLucy1]

+Stetson Doggett my phone says it wont work. i have a question tho. i checked to see which note 3 model works. those models are like the ones from korea or china. i dont get it. does it need to be international version or something?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Vince Bruno Most likely. Some US phones are carrier specific. So since your Note 3 is from AT&T, it'll probably only work on GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile. Not CDMA carriers like Verizon and Sprint. You may want to look into Cricket Wireless!

[@DailyDoseofLucy1]

Really? even if it's unlocked? Man, i bought a phone for ringplus specifically, I think ring plus will work best for me. The only thing is, i might have bought the wrong phone. I feel sad. I have to wait for the sim card and hope that it would still work. Thank you for reply.

[@StetsonDoggett]

Vince Bruno Yeah, it really depends on the phone. For instance, my unlocked iPhone 5 only worked on GSM carriers. There were actually two different versions of the phone: one for GSM networks and one for CDMA networks. Newer phones have all the LTE bands built into them, but for some of the older phones there were two different versions. Good luck and hopefully it works!

[@harishravisankar8151]

Does the ringplus sim work with at&t unlocked iphone 6s? pls reply to this comment i have a iphone 6s planning to change to ringplus. pls help your subscriber out.

[@StetsonDoggett]

Yes!

[@vanithar7764]

+Stetson Doggett I have one last question does freedompop work on at&t locked phones. Can u pls answer asap

[@RickPickerBen]

Do you work for ring plus? I saw your review on their website, I just want to get a unbiased opinion.

[@StetsonDoggett]

I created this review video before working with RingPlus to create some specific videos for their website. My honest opinion is they offer the cheapest plans with coverage on the Sprint network. If you can deal with ads or you use Google Voice and Hangouts, and you get good Sprint coverage in your area, I think RingPlus is definitely a carrier worth considering. Their prices simply cannot be beat.

[@Clout4k]

Stetson Doggett I knew it smh good they got shut down then tried to sue sprint

[@andrewperez6848]

How do I get the free service

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Andrew Perez Get a universal Sprint SIM card and sign up for RingPlus's Truly Free 2 Plan.

[@laurenelizabeth1331]

how do you like ringplus vs usmobile?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Lauren Elizabeth (starstrucksilver) I'd go with RingPlus. Coverage in my area was better than US Mobile, and I think the plans are more affordable too.

[@nukestrom5719]

Just don't bother this so called free service. Yes its free but it comes so many loopholes. Customer service doesn't exist. Pay a little extra and try Lycamobile or Republic wireless.

[@miguelmontero7060]

Do straight talk under Verizon or att

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Miguel Montero I plan to test out Straight Talk soon. I just signed up for PagePlus though, so I'm going to test them out first.

[@daniellee7484]

Would this work on my Verizon galaxy note 2

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Daniel Lee I believe so, but signal strength may be weak because the Note 2 would only be able to use the 1900MHz band on the Sprint network.

[@daniellee7484]

+Stetson Doggett so would i be able to use lte

[@StetsonDoggett]

I don't think so. You could order a SIM card and test it out if you want, but my best guess is that no, you will not get LTE.

[@Sam_420]

Did you have to unlock your T-Mobile iPhone?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Sam Kerr I bought my iPhone at full price directly from Apple, so it came unlocked.

[@rabnudspecies9560]

so do you post top of every month, or Everytime you go over?

[@StetsonDoggett]

You pay a top-up every time your account balance reaches zero.

[@rabnudspecies9560]

Stetson Doggett and your account reaches zero every time you go over?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Rabnud Species Your account reaches zero when your initial top up is drained from overage charges.

[@rabnudspecies9560]

so if you never go over you only pay a one time fee?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Rabnud Species Yes, this is correct.

[@stingblade1183]

can my at&t s4 work?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Check willmyphonework.net/

[@wangminh12]

well made video. Thumbs up

[@TuPhonez4Free]

FreeUP Mobile has no ads on calls. It's all legit. Check them out.

[@toontownlegomaster]

You don't need some stupid app for this service like freedompoop.

[@leadersofthenewschool]

dat boy got a long ahh neck

[@wholeNwon]

+telmond2k5 Yup. Nice looking young fellow.

[@jacobteets27]

try freedom pop it is free

[@Tooob]

+Jacob Teets I was on FreedomPop previously. RingPlus is much better. RingPlus uses real cell phone voice calls whereas FreedomPop can ony make calls over the data connection.

[@gblargg]

+Jacob Teets I couldn't get any clear list of their plans etc. I contacted their support to ask what plans they had but they just said I had to call them on the phone. Uh yeah, I don't want to talk to a salesperson trying to push things on me. They just come across as shady, whereas RingPlus very clearly shows the plans on their front page.

[@Chinesetechnicalsupport]

100% Free Phone service at Freedom Pop

[@muktasaha4302]

I hate fp fight now, suspended my account for the 3rd time this month for no reason, switching next week to rp 🙏

[@levi___2096]

He's a cute dude 🙃

[@TimeLapseCarGuyBruno]

this shit is so fuckin confusing.. why can't a cell phone service provider just be cheap and easy to use.. wtf its 2017!

[@leohamilton8290]

RIP Ringplus

[@clovernotatroll2302]

What happened to ringplus?

[@vzheka1981]

no more ring plus

[@SuperCoalBlox]

Ads before a call... 😑😶

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Super_Coal_Blox ...but $13/month for unlimited talk, text, and 1GB of LTE data is a crazy good deal.

[@wangminh12]

true pain in the ass with this feature!

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Minh Ng It'd be a good idea to use Google Voice + Hangouts with RingPlus. That way you won't have to deal with ads.

[@wangminh12]

+Stetson Doggett you're right. That probably the best way to do. But i don't really understand how it work: even with out data + Wifi Off...i am still able to receive calls from Google voice.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Minh Ng No. You need either a WiFi or cellular data connection in order to make phone calls using Google Voice.
