Darkstar ATT GSM- good voice quality, data is 6-300mpbs. average city 75 mbps, good overseas roaming
Warp Verizon NA- good voice quality, data 30-450mpbs. consistent, good in city/rural 130mbps
Lightspeed Tmobile GSM - bad voice quality, data 60-600mps. good city average 180mbps. rural is bad.

Read the whole wiki and the answer to my question is not there. Must activate within 45 days doesn't tell me if I'm being charged from the day I purchased the plan or activated it.
You are paying when you purchase and have 45 days to activate it. Now I don't know what happens if you don't activate it within 45 days, do you lose what you paid or you get a refund 🤷

Lightspeed Tmobile GSM - bad voice quality
Maybe it depends on the phone, but bad voice quality is not a thing anymore, every network does HD voice VoLTE, it's not rocket science. I have lines on all 3 and can't tell the difference when it comes to voice. Speed, deprioritized data, network availability/roaming can be issues.

Fwiw, US Mobile Verizon is premium data (or so they claim, some say it gets capped at 30Mbps when it shouldn't be), not deprioritized. But take it with a grain of salt, if you are in a congested area you will still suffer.

Service doesn't start until you activate the sim.
My question is:

If i buy on 12/20/24 for $180 for the year and activate on 1/10/2025, does my service end on 12/19/25 or on 1/09/2026?

Based on this response, it sounds like 1/10/2025 to 1/09/2026 but would appreciate a confirmation if anyone knows.

Thanks for the help!

You lose after 45 days, it expires. Game over.

Thank God for credit cards. They can't just take the money like that, you can dispute the charge and I'm sure no service provided, no account/phone number means the credit card will side with you and get a refund.

This is probably why if you call Mint customer service they will let you activate past 45 days, they do not want disputes/chargebacks.

its TMO voice compression, they likely put more bandwidth in data over voice. I had tmo for over 10 years, voice quality was always bad on iphone and android pixel moto. with wifi calling on n off.
had MINT for 3 months, same bad voice.

on Verizon ATT USM, the voice quality was noticeably better with same phones.
Visible+ data runs slightly better than USM Verizon in speed test. each mvno contract is different. Visible+ has a sweetheart deal.


I test drove regular Visible, horrible weak data. somewhat usable 3mbps-5mbps 3G daytime, 600mbps 5G midnight.

I confirmed it starts at the time you active your plan. mintmobile will clearly show your plan status. It starts the ticking when you activate the plan or ported in.

Thanks.

Never noticed TMo voice quality, you must have very good hearing. If I can hear and understand the other side, it's good enough for me 😃

I always thought this was the norm and anything else was the exception. I only remember buying sim kits on eBay where it was sent activated, can't remember the carrier, but more a function of it being a third party seller. Are there actual carriers selling pre-activated sims?

Are the $299 Pixel 9 still available? I can't see them on the deals anymore.
