limited service area - No good in all of DE and I tried several parts of PA

This is what message I receive…

Sorry
Zip code is not in a serviceable area.
We apologize, but we currently do not offer service to your area.

Zip code 10031 works. However, your shipping address also has to match service zip code.

Anyone know how easy it is to port and if you qualify for any deals on phones? Might be good to have for a future port in deal for another carrier.

Thanks! Seems like I'm eligible.

Would anyone happen to know if this would work with a flip phone? I tried to teach my grandmother how to use an iPhone but she couldn't get the hang of it. She just needs to receive and make calls and prefers a flip phone.

just signed up 5 lines with bring your own device.
I have an old Tmobile flip phone but it did not recognize.
Seems like it might just be for smartphones since you have to download an app and activate.

Anyone actually have optimum mobile? Hopefully you can swap sims to different devices.

$101.60 with tax for 5 activations.
I received an email that says $0.00 recurring fees per month. Hopefully that's true and they don't charge any taxes, and other fees per line.

thanks for the deal!

It didn't like my Tmo hotspot or either of my (unlocked) Tracfone android phones (one was an A50, so not that old). I didn't try my Tmo iphone.

I read the description twice, but couldn't tell for sure, do you actually need to be an optimum customer? Optimum cable and internet service is not available in my area
