They should save for that but I know it may not be possible in all cases.

[@Utubin]

At 55 years old. The only thing I have learned in life is if you ask 10 different people you get 10 different answers. Like this cell phone bizz,it is driving me nutts with my anxiety disorder that I have. I've been trying to come up with a phone for me and my daughter and my son ,not my wife though,she said I'm done and went and just bought a phone on her own. So many questions with so little help of anyone that has in depth knowledge of cell phones. Meaning ,most associates at the local centers are clowns,meaning they have no clue what the good,bad or ugly is on there products. They only sell what they are told to push for the month. This is why I was wanting this guy to answer questions as I can't find anyone to answer questions who is not biased. Anyway good luck to mee. 4 months in, still confused.

[@journo8541]

If I wanted a new phone with a better battery life right now( currently have the iPhone 11) but wanted the lowest upfront cost which provider should I go with? I do plan on paying the full phone off in a year or so

[@StetsonDoggett]

I’d go with Boost Infinite’s Infinite Access for iPhone plan. It’s $60 per month and you get a free iPhone 15 today with no trade-in needed. Full details here: www.bestphoneplans.net/plans/infinite-access-for-iphone

[@CalvinTennessee]

If you pay just the 60 a month, your phone won’t be paid off for three years. Their service is absolutely the worst i have ever experienced .

[@gparyani]

One more thing to mention: the price of US Mobile Unlimited Starter drops from $29 to $23 per month if the entire year is paid upfront.

I have the 5g original plan but thinking of switching to unlimited plus, mainly for the streaming bundles. If i do that i know there is higher up trade credits but i always go to best buy when i get a new phone. Will i lose the credit if i dont trade in at a verizon store.

[@bighersh14]

I definitely would’ve gotten a visible plan instead of mint mobile if Verizon wasn’t so bad where I live. There’s no 5g coverage and when I had Verizon I never got more than 17mbps download.

Is T-Mobile Prepaid a good plan? You get more with it than you do with the US Mobile $50 plan.

[@Elizabeth-xo9sn]

I had nothing but trouble with T mobil. After they get your money, you get horrible service at the store and on line. Hard no on them.

[@TheGenius0]

I have unlimited plus cause I work for a phone store and I get a good discount on the plan and we get the phones unlocked all the time so my plus plan is $32 but I hate I had to switch plans cause Verizon warned me to pay more on each plan 😤 advantage i didn’t lose anything I used but still imma end up with visible or us mobile if this keeps up

Breaking News!! Digital wireless service provider Visible has announced upgrades to its premium Visible+ phone plan.

[@JaceTheNerd]

Hey Stetson! I’m really enjoying the new app for speed testing and seeing real speed test data. However, since I’m with Cellcom (a Wisconsin carrier) I can’t contribute to adding points on your map. Cellcom’s alternative carrier in areas with no native coverage is Verizon. I’d love to participate on the maps when I’m outside of Cellcom’s coverage. Is there any way you can identify the PLMN number to determine which carrier is being speed tested? (If this is implemented already I personally have not seen it yet) - Thanks!!

[@DumbNeptuneBacon]

I was grandfathered in on the 5G Get More plan, and I don’t plan on switching plans anytime soon. Sure they hiked my plan by $4 a month, but it’s still cheaper with all the benefits I get. For example, I get the Disney bundle, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, etc. all for now $84 (was $80) per month, plus the best trade in deals. So why would I switch to the new plans, and get the same benefits to pay $20 more per month? That’s stupid imo. Soooo I have no intention to switch. The only way I’d switch is if I’m the next few years they have some amazing new plans rolled out (like they do just about every year), to make the switch worth it or keep hiking my bill till it’s not worth staying on my current plan. But, I will say they did give me an extra 5gb of hotspot data for the price hike, which I could care less about, I don’t even use my hotspot. I did in the past, but don’t have a need for it now lol.

[@carlosmunoz7829]

How do you redeem your extra services outside Verizon such as Disney, Hulu or Apple?

[@WheelsAndHelmets]

How do you feel after learning we're not as grand fathered as you thought? Verizon is taking the free Disney bundle away from us. :(

[@DumbNeptuneBacon]

@@WheelsAndHelmets Well, I saw that email, and I called them, they told me that my plan is not included in the removal, but they are going to raise my plan by another $10 per month.

[@WheelsAndHelmets]

@@DumbNeptuneBacon interesting. Sounds like damage control to me. We won't take it away from you, but we're going to charge you 10 dollars for it

[@Eaazyev]

So will all prepaid brands have rcs messeging? Sorry if its a dumb question

[@uhs2r]

at 4:30 its a lil misleading one says for 13 pro then 415 is for the 11 pro, granted itd be 480 so still not the 830

[@LazerKrohn]

OK I do have a question I did purchase an iPhone 14+ with the Verizon unlimited welcome plan now I could still cancel all of this, but if I were to switch over to visible, do they offer phone discounts or promotions?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Visible does not really offer phone discounts or promotions. If you wanted, you could finance a phone monthly through Affirm. The better move is typically to buy your phone outright and do a trade-in deal through the manufacturer though. So trade in your old iPhone to Apple and get a new unlocked iPhone from them.

[@StetsonDoggett]

If you got the iPhone 14 Plus for free with Verizon Unlimited Welcome, it’s not necessarily a bad deal. Just do the math out of 36 months of service at $65 per month vs. buying an iPhone elsewhere (used on Swappa or new from Apple) + the cost of Visible Base or something.

[@LazerKrohn]

@@StetsonDoggett OK so I should return my iPhone 14+ that I purchased from Verizon/cancel the service and go to the Apple Store with my already paid off iPhone 8 plus and just pay full price for it. Then apply to visible?

[@LazerKrohn]

@@StetsonDoggett oh, and another question is I live in Monsey New York and is vision 5G ultraband unlimited just as fast as Verizons?

[@LazerKrohn]

@@StetsonDoggett well no I did have to put $180 down payment and I have to pay $75 a month is it still worth it or do you think I should upgrade to the Verizon unlimited plus Plan where I will have to be paying $90 a month because I have to pay 10 additional dollars for financing the phone or do you think I should just quit Verizon in all? Also, how does visions 5G ultraband speed compared to Verizon? Like is it just as fast?

I can confirm US Mobile is on QCI 8 on Verizon when activated in a 5G phone. I believe Spectrum’s plans also have priority data with QCI 8.

Something not mentioned about Unlimited Ultimate is that it offers international features such as being able to use the service in over 210 countries and you can choose one country to make regular calls from the US

[@adamtajyar]

No they’re too expensive. AT&T and T-Mobile on a nationwide scale has equal if not better coverage experience for the most part. There are of course anecdotal cases where one carrier works the best. If that’s the case then you don’t have much choice if that’s what only works.

[@geekmangreg1677]

Customer service needs to be factored in when it comes to value, however. Now anyone who has used Verizon knows they have gone downhill in recent years. However, I use visible on a second phone, and their customer service is for lack of a better word - atrocious. I know some people will swear by them, but I’ve had numerous problems and very bad experiences with their customer service - which is only available via chat. At some point I may consider switching to another service, but visible based on my experience isn’t worth the savings compared to the lack of customer service you get. Especially if you were talking about your primary line.

[@StetsonDoggett]

Customer service on US Mobile is better.

[@SethPlummer]

Great video Stetson! Can you do a video on Straight Talk’s cell phone plans? They’re a tracfone brand which is owned by Verizon since Verizon bought tracfone.

Hey I go overseas in a bit and am wondering if you can or if you have made a video on best international plans. Thanks!

[@carlosmunoz7829]

For future reference, upgrade to the ultimate just for the time being there and then set it back on to your previous plan. With all prorated charges would be cheaper than paying the other options. Also depends on how long you'll be out. There's $10 per day, $100 for the whole month and the option I said about upgrading to the ultimate which does include international services.

[@rrt08]

Just activate the E Sim in your phone while in country.

[@larkins621]

Hey Stetson, I'm confused on your math for the welcome unlimited plan. If you bring your own phone and use auto pay and have 4 lines, Welcome unlimited is $100/month for 4 lines. What's up with the difference (if you remove the iphone financing). Edit - I see the problem. The video was made assuming each line will buy or finance a phone...I think? If we remove the phone as a variable, unlimited welcome is $100/month + taxes/fees for 4 lines, and unlimited plus is $140 + taxes/fees for 4 lines.
