Note*: H2O and AT&T can change a phones compatibility at anytime and the list in the PDF in the link above can be updated at anytime by AT&T directly. Xiaomi devices are now banned from AT&T(Did not meet AT&T Certification or Approval). Select Huawei/ZTE devices still allowed.
AT&T Network status:
5G+: When you see 5G+ on the top of your phone's screen it can mean your either connected to MmWave or newly launched C-Band. Average speeds seen on 5G+ are between: 70 Megs per second - 600 megs per second. *Speeds may vary on 5G+ due to number of devices on tower(Congestion), Plan Type, device limitations, etc.
5G: Also known as LTE+NR NSA, this tech is when a carrier pairs LTE and 5G Non Stand alone tech together to keep speeds high when MmWave is not available. 5G Standalone(SA) does not need LTE to work. (5G Phone/5G Sim required)
5Ge/4G LTE: What's the difference between 5Ge and 4G LTE? not much really other than 5Ge means your area may have been upgraded with newer tech/higher speeds on LTE via Carrier Aggregation(CA).
4G HSPA+: This network is being shutdown, will no longer be available starting August 1st, 2022. (Some markets have seen some shut down 4G HSPA+ wireless spectrum converted into 5G wireless spectrum)
3G HSDPA/HSUPA: This network is being shutdown, will no longer be available starting August 1st, 2022. (Most markets already have seen shut down 3G wireless spectrum converted to 5G wireless spectrum)
2G/GPRS/GSM: This network is shut down and no longer exists.

The reason for CS being non-existent is some people believe that either H2O is going under or all the people with 3G phones are calling and emailing why their phones don't work anymore.

Can anyone recommend a phone model under $100 used to pair with the h2o plan?

so if you have a dual sim capable phone, you can use the sim slot for other deals.

Outside of the 3G shutdown issue with redpocket, I have had very good customer service from redpocket (like 10 years) and tracfone. I know my t-mobile Samsung (unlocked) phone would not work with h2o wireless because my redpocket (at&t sim) failed.
They went with a whitelist model, which means that a lot of phones that worked perfectly fine were excluded if they hadn't bothered to add them to the whitelist.
Any MNVO who uses ATT has seen insane customer service issues. I had a tracfone account for my kid and I spent over 8 hours trying to get a problem resolved. They just got slammed by ATT policy.

this was a lot of CS time burned just for one person, i can see how it can get out of hand if they have a lot of non technical folks calling about the fix. i have the H2O $3 per month deal, at the rate of CS cost I don't see how they made any profit on me
