Was being charged $2.99 for a sprint fee. Opened a chat on my phone to get it removed. Annoying, but did it in 10 minutes
A sim, right?

That is the one time cost of a sim.

But no harm getting it refunded when you can, sure.

Thanks, but no auto pay for a me. I'm porting the number out soon as the network is just not useable in many areas here in N. California.
To understand better, it would be very helpful if you can say what exact phone you were using.

It's the network, not the phone. Nexus 6P.

Thanks for the information

The Nexus 6P lacks HPUE and other Sprint-specific LTE performance features including 3X carrier aggregation, so it would not perform comparably to say a Pixel 3 XL or other recent high-end phones in my opinion.

But network is not the very best either but I think I have seen others in N California who were happy with it.

No they are all explicitly excluded by name.

Very rarely someone claims to get one but note they often do not actually receive it. They are just thinking they will receive it. Then weeks or months later they get the rejection and do not post that.

I have got those rejections later, as have others. But if you have nothing better to do with your time, sure, go ahead and try.

Yeah, too many holes for me since I cover a large territory. Add in no internet access or texting while on hold with a call and it's just not for me. It's really bad up the 101 and Hwy 1 going north up to Eureka/Arcata despite what the map shows.
