To switch phone service from one company


Posted: Jun 23, 2015

I have T-Mobile, someone gave me a new phone and it is on Metro-PCS. Is it easy to change, cost much? TIA;

Just cancel your old account and open one- sm - XXX

with Metro-PCS...unless you have a locked in contract with T-Mobile (or owe money on the old phone) it should not cost you a dime. If you are planning to keep the same number then you have to see if that is possible with Metro-PCS, if it is they will arrange that and again no charge for that. I recently took my # from Tracfone and switched to Verizon, took maybe an hour for the switch/transition, though it can take up to a day or so I believe.

Home Phone ServiceApr 16, 2013
Hi all.  I was wondering if anyone here has Ooma for their home phone service?  I currently have ATT and want to switch to something else, since they raised my bill again.  I don't have a cell phone, and need home phone service. Curious to know if Ooma is really as good as they say. ...

What's A Good Phone Company?Mar 09, 2010
I live in eastern PA and have been with Verizon for over 35 years.  I have been late in paying the bill lately because of my work situation. Today, my son emailed me and told me my phone was disconnected. Huh? I set up electronic payments 2 weeks ago to automatically come out yesterday and this Thursday with a live person. So I called. The aggravation of having to go through those 'answering machines' to get to a live person was enough to make me flip. THEN, the person I tal ...

FCC Commissioner On Internet Oversight Switch. "If You Cherish FreeSep 28, 2016
This is irreversible." On Wednesday’s “Sean Hannity Show,” FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai (R) stated that the plan to “essentially give up the US oversight role…of the Internet” to ICANN is something that should worry anyone who cherishes “free expression, and free speech rights generally,” and could potentially cede oversight of the Internet to “foreign governments who might not share our values.” He further stated that such a move is “irreversible.” Pai said, “This ...

JULIAN ASSANGE "DEAD MAN SWITCH" Goes Off After EXPOSING Hillary Clinton? Oct 23, 2016
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbCX1vZVuMo Hillary Clinton is having a very, very bad October. There are many reasons why the campaign is in a freefall collapse unlike anything we have ever seen. The campaign has been rocked by numerous scandals revealed by Wikileaks and Project Veritas action. This could be the reason why Hillary has cancelled almost all events from now until election day except for private fundraisers. See the video for a list of reasons why Hillary's campaign i ...

"Cities Weigh Taking Over From Private Utilities" To SwitchMar 15, 2013
Gist is private utility companies (70% of us buy from private) tend to charge too much, to shave services to enhance profits (among other things, tending to be slower to restore power after outages and to be unwilling to bury power lines), to pay their executives too much, and to be unwilling to advance to new energy sources.  Publicly owned power tends to be cheaper and more responsive in all ways, and overall far more interested in investing in change to meet future needs now. But, altho ...

Christmas ServiceDec 25, 2013
I just wanted to share this with everyone as I think it is so awesome. My church had a Christmas Eve service last night. We sang carols, the old ones. Now my church is small and our choir during the year has at best 20 members. A lot of people came in for the holidays to spend with their families and some of them joined our choir for the service which raised it up to about 30 members, more or less. Well the main hymn, anthem or whatever was the Halleuia (?) chorus from Handel's messiah ...

Has Anyone Here Used A Check-printing Service? Jul 18, 2014
I recently started helping an elderly friend keep up with his bills. He has no computer and prefers mailing checks. It will cost almost $50 bucks for a refill packet of, I believe, 150 checks from his bank. Has anyone used a check-printing service that charges less? I have seen ads for these services but since they will get his bank acct info, I am being extremely careful. Check-printing software is a thought, but I tend to waste a lot of ink and paper getting printing jobs right. Any other idea ...

My Mom And Her Cell PhoneJan 07, 2015
After years of hounding my mom and dad about not having a cell phone especially when driving long distances in our cold, wintry state, my mom actually went out all on her own  and bought an inexpensive prepaid cell phone. She is very proud of the fact that she has a cell phone and knows how to add minutes, etc. The problem is that she will NOT turn it on because it "runs down the battery." My brothers and I have explained about the cell phone charger until we are practically blue in the fac ...

Last night I was watching TV when I discovered that my half my channels no longer worked.  I have bundled service (internet, land-line phone, and cable TV), so I called my ISP, and they told me that they have a "new and improved" system now (sounds like Nuance, huh?) and I would now have to rent a box for each TV in my house in order to restore my fave channels. Um, no thanks. I'm not under contract, so I'm going to cancel my service and find alternatives.  BTW, I've le ...
