Does the bill have to be paid every month for the unlock?
@SWOhioSpeedtesting Ай бұрын
I would assume. I have heard online and from one person I sold a Metro phone to that they do tend to unlock phones that were activated. Even if they aren't currently active. I can't say for sure. But since most carriers require you to be active to get your device unlocked, I would say Metro is no different.

Carriers need to go more of the approach like 1-5Mbps speed cap after using the high speed data. You can’t do anything on them 2G speeds.
@user-tv5ui6yn6o Ай бұрын
I know this is an older video already but just so you know Google Fi is actually QCI 6 just like the majority of T-Mobile plans. In fact, all T-Mobile plans are highest priority except for Essentials, which gets the same QCI of 7 as all MVNOs except for Google Fi. Google Fi is the only exception. So, the speed differences are likely just the result of phone, OS, and modem differences rather than priority since they should be treated at equal priority and so split the bandwidth in half theoretically.
@SWOhioSpeedtesting Ай бұрын
That’s good to know. I mean I have known that T-Mobile has basically no priority and most their plans get the same access. It’s not like a huge difference with someone like AT&T or Verizon. But thank you for that information!
@user-tv5ui6yn6o Ай бұрын
@SWOhioSpeedtesting You're very welcome!! It's true. Although T-Mobile deprioritization isn't always as harsh as the other two, it can definitely be felt at QCI 9 like their Internet plan. I feel it slow down a lot at times. It's not super bad. But it's definitely there.

But yeah my current net10 phone has black streaks due to cracks and i was planning on gettin another one. I went to site and seen the simple mobile ad too...Idk. I may try to hold out with my phone until novemember or not....we'll see if current phone totally goes bonkers.....yeah i noticed new minimum price would be 25 instead of 20

Verizon absolutely demolished Tracfone. I didn’t agree having all those companies with similar options. But at least you had choice. And you could choose your network. And get the same plan on any network. And at the time the plans weren’t that bad. They could’ve made Tracfone better instead of worse. Especially Net10. That was such a forgotten brand.

Me too. I wasn’t happy about it. But they did work swiftly to fix it. And I think I originally gave like $60 for that phone. So I made off with some money. And I was able to fix it. So now if I wanted to sell it I’m basically nothing but profit. Not the way I wanted it to happen. But it worked out!

Net10 as of now still on until Nov. 2024. Can not get a new phone, but if you have a phone and plan it still works. Not sure about simple mobile, but they do want you to switch over.
@SWOhioSpeedtesting Ай бұрын
I mean that’s good they have a set end date. And if they’re working to keep customers and move them that isn’t terrible. I understand the consolidation piece. But Tracfone was an absolute mess Verizon don’t care about. They should’ve just passed that deal. They’re messing it up and it’s taking a toll on their company by them having quite a few quarters of losses in prepaid. I would assume mostly comes from Tracfone. Not a good acquisition in my opinion.

Which Network do you think is the best in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Area?
@SWOhioSpeedtesting Ай бұрын
I would say you can’t go wrong with any. Personally, if you’re just in town and not near big events, I’d say Verizon. They have a very good mmWave build there. However, at venues they are slow and sometimes unusable. A lot of places in Ohio still use LTE systems inside arenas. Once they update more to mmWave I’ll say for sure Verizon. AT&T is a good alternative. Most of their sites not many people are on. However, edge cell on 5G+ does have a lot of packet loss and stuff not loading from my experience.

Ebay scammed me and enabled scammers to scam me. I did delete my ebay account, i'd rather throw my sellable items away than deal with this nonsense. I sold a 2080 video card, the buyer claimed the card didn't fit their computer and initiated a return. When I received the card, it was no longer operational, they fried the card somehow. Ebay forced me to issue a refund and they kept all the fees, final value fee, transaction fee etc. Before that they allowed a return on my behalf on a VR headset, even though I indicated no returns. They stuck me with the shipping fees and final value fees. They admitted fault on that one and said they would refund the final value fees, never did. Getting through to them is a nightmare and not worth messing with. No more ebay for me ever again.

Sounds like you didnt record you unpacking what you got back. Also sounds like you are not a top rated seller. I've been selling for over 20 years. Power seller when it was called that. Top Rated for over 10. Anything that would be this extreme of value will get an IC3 report and criminal charges against the buyer. Need to have a camera/videoing what your returns are, and a business attorney on standby. Most states allow for legal recovery for civil matters. Or at least compensation from criminal proceedings. It's not fun. Only had one bad one, probs 10 years ago. Got paid out: legal fees, costs, loss, and interest 4 years after. Godspeed on any other of your reselling endeavors.

I had taken video of me packing the phone out. I do with basically anything over $100. Whether I buy or sell. I definitely looked into small claims court and I would’ve taken action if needed. The fact that it happens quite often from what I see on forums and whatnot eBay needs to be held for this and find some new way to resolve these matters. I totally understand why people don’t sell to people without a certain amount of feedback.

Trust me from now on eBay is strictly just for buying stuff. And if that’s an issue I’ll just leave eBay completely.
