Tried to sign up to @ATT four times now and they reject me and aren’t telling me why.
What’s the next best unlimited phone/data plan for the SF area?
Or do I know anyone who can work around corp bs?

@steipete @ATT Usmobile sounds like a scam but it’s legitimately so good and so cheap for no reason. Tremendous support. Never had a problem. Big carriers are a complete scam if you buy your device outright.

@steipete @ATT US Mobile is half the price as AT&T directly and lets you switch between AT&T, Verizon, and T-mobile

@steipete @ATT @ATT is absolute garbage. Been a customer for 20 years, got hacked and they raised my bill for getting hacked. Someone ordered 2 phones from my account. I had to pay the shipping to return them, go thru days of headache. THEN THEY CHARGED ME. not recommending.

@humblyonline @steipete @ATT I Second USMobile. They are an MVNO that operates on top of Verizon ATT and T Mobile.

@steipete @ATT Try https://www.usmobile.com. We've been switching all of our phones to them, and it's actually very good — better than I thought it would be.

@steipete @ATT US Mobile is fantastic, it's $45 and you can choose all 3 phone networks (1 for $45, each other are $10) and unlimited call/text/data with high speed data
