Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread
schmidtj replied to Nextel49's topic in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment
I have a current iPhone. It has a setting Cellular->Voice&Data where I can specify "5G Standalone". If I turn that on an additional setting becomes available "Voice Over 5G Standalone". If I turn on 5G Standalone, Field Test typicall shows NSA and sometimes SA+NSA. To me there is no perceptible difference outside of Field Test. I live in Chicagoland and I never experience any issues so what settings would be best in my situaltion? I figure if anyone knows the right answer it would be one of the folks who hang out here. Thanks in advance, J PS. If this isn't the place to discuss this please move as necessary. -

I did exactly this with my iPhone. I went with Visible as backup and was very skeptical about doing so based on comments on Reddit. But after almost a year Visible has been problem free for me (knock on wood). And that includes upgrading my eSIM only iPhone last September. Visible is a Verizon owned provider and at the time I signed up I had two options. (1) Their standard plan subject to deprioritization and all the MVNO negativities or (2) their "Plus" plan with fewer negativities. So for $35/mo for my one line it isn't a bad deal. Full disclosure, their support is pretty much nonexistant and they have no physical store presence so I don't thing I would ever use them as my primary provider but for a Verizon backup to T-Mobile it's been working fine the very few times I've needed it. -

For iPhone users the buy direct from Apple is a good option. Especially if you upgrade every year as Apple will give you a very competitive trade-in for your 1 yr old iPhone. Plus the phones are unlocked from day one so if you ever decide to switch carriers it's very simple. I have no idea if Samsung etc. have similar offerings. J -
