Android crew, step inside...

DEEZUZ , any chance the phone was dropped hard enough to hurt the internal antenna?

The g/f’s phone went from having excellent coverage to absolute shit in the matter of a day. Turns out one of the kids she watches knocked the phone off of a counter on to a tile floor. Damaged the antenna. She would have like 1 bar along major highways where I had full strength.

Hmm. This possible...

I think I want to do a 5g phone with new service and start fresh

So I've had Verizon for 2-3 months now.

it sucks.

Randomly driving through towns and cities it drops out.. Like in major metro areas... 1 bar... It gone...

When wifi is on, say at work.. Text messages won't send and I won't get calls. Just voicemail...


Do I upgrade to a 5g plan and 5g phone with Verizon or do I just go to another carrier?

I'm half tempted to just go back to att for a prepaid plan but they are such fucking pieces of shit if I ever had another issue with them I'd be really pissed

The worst one i ever had. Never ever again!

I'm currently using Metro by T-Mobile. Affordable price, great speeds, and good coverage. But I faced signal issues in rural areas. Though when I had problems, I easily found the metro by tmobile phone number, addressed them, and was provided with the solution within a few minutes. It is better than waiting for hours on the phone line.

That's the upgrade I did for my MIL. She is blown away by how much better it is.

If you have a att branded tablet, can you install your phones sim card for service and updates to the tablet.

Updates would go over WiFi too.

And maybe? Try it.

Well it's either were buying an $800 tablet or not but it depends on this. Lmao

 

[DEEZUZ]

Or buy $400 apple equivalent to run the program we need to run.

In theory, if it has a sim slot, it would basically turn the tablet into your phone and use that data plan.

My thoughts as well. I just didn't know if today's Sims are like locked to certain phones/devices.

Bae would be looking to insert her phone sim to a tablet every so often to receive certain updates from the carrier(att)

There are multiple sim types, that's the only thing you'll have to look out for. The last one is E-Sim. Some phones have this if they don't have a sim slot.

Probably have to watch out if your phone/tablet are mismatched (one nano, one micro for example)
