I signed up on the 20th with a new temporary number just to try the service in my area for a few days. I ended up porting my number from At&t yesterday which required me calling in three separate times. With a little patience and understanding they eventually got it done. I signed up for the $55 plan with auto renew to my credit card as I don't need unlimited hotspots or D+. I only paid $25 to start and my renewal amount shows $25 next month. The service has been good thus far and I don't plan to have to deal with customer service often. This is just my experience so far and ymmv

can you port from visible?

is the $20 TW plan equivalent to the $25 plan at Visible? is it worth the trouble to save $5 a month?

Is the data on the $20 plan for TW same as the data on Visible in terms of capping speeds and heavily throttled and deprioritized ?
I didn't notice a speed cap but it is de-prioritized on the $40 plan.

Si you're saying that D+ is only honored for 5G+ plan? I see that on their website they have D+ included for 5G & 5G+ and I'm on the 5G and was only able to have D+ the first month when I ported my number and now my subscription is cancelled without previous notification
You will have to contact CS and ask them to transfer you to the VAS/Refund team. They are the only ones that can fix D+ for you. You get 6 months on the T-5G plan.

Quote from LumberjackJack :
I just received my free Moto Edge from these guys, started using it today. I have one month of the $65 plan, and then it will be another month (total of 60 days) before they unlock the phone. If I go for one of these deals, can I start that service at the end of the month, or will I need to wait 60 days for the phone to be unlocked?
You can get the deal but not with that Moto Edge you got from them since it would not be considered as BYOD and will disqualify you from the promo. You would need a different number, phone and account.

The phone will unlock automatically in 60 days with just one month of paid service. Send a text to 611611 containing the word "Unlock" and it will give you the exact date of unlock if eligible.

deal is dead - I don't see $25 or $30 during check out, they will charge me $30 or $35 if i selected one of them.
It is $5 more if you don't activate auto-refill, plus 99 cents for any sims you order, hence the higher price initially at checkout. If you are presented with the auto-refill option at checkout, activate it and it should reflect the $5 discount.

You get 6 months of D+ with your plan, might as well take advantage of it or gift it to someone else.

Yes it's pretty much the same. I think visible has unlimited hotspot though, vs TW $20 has only 5gb.

It's up to you if you want to trade visible for TW. Both have terrible CS so you won't really miss much in that dept.

Beware! Prices for previous deal of $15 are still not fixed. FCC Complaint hasn't been enough. Many software glitches.

Doesn't TW have HIGHER data speed? Also I'm guessing it has higher priority vs Visible data?
