what's the longest any of you have been with Infimobile? I just moved over from tello (tmobile) to infimobile (Verizon) due to rural coverage when visiting family. I'm almost exclusively a data user. Google voice/text, navigation, etc. I haven't really been on the new service long enough to have an informed opinion, but at this price, I'd consider extending. In the one car trip I've had since the switch coverage seemed to be as expected.

Concerns - Why, when they already had, arguably, the best deal, did they offer an even better one? Are they hurting financially? Positioning for buyout, other issues?

Infimobile goes under, gets bought out, folds into another service who doesn't honor or changes the service enough that it isn't usable.

=========
For anyone interested - I've combined this cheap Verizon service with the free helium T-Mobile service (esim) to, in theory, get combined V/T (deprioritized) coverage. It will be interesting to see if the coverage works as expected. I should ad that the Helium "free" plan is no longer, well, free . While you aren't paying Helium anything for this service, they will pass thru any taxes and fees (fair enough). This will vary widely based on THE SERVICE ADDRESS YOU CHOOSE TO GIVE THEM. So, I'll be reevaluating whether my use case justifys these new costs.

The data has been reduced to 1GB from 3GB. That's only good for an emergency backup, nothing else. It's not worth taxes and fees in my state.

You can also change your number prefix to a local one if you selected a state that does not charge tax. Cost is $5.55 to do it
Use Google Voice, put local number on it then forward to whatever number you got. If all you want is ANY local number then google voice would be free otherwise there is a number porting fee which I think was $20.

If this is true, I'll probably cancel as well. I haven't seen the data reduction only the introduction of fees/taxes, but will check. thanks

So, I did confirm this. Plan changed to 1gb cell data plus 2gb "helium network" (hot spot) data. My assumption is that the helium network data would only come into play in dense(ish) urban areas. Definitely not my use case, so, a failed experiment for me. Oh well.

So just to clarify, if we recharge few months before current expiry it would apply recharge extended by the current end period to another year ?
It did for me (and I'm not special) so, Yes!

Choose ESIM (or be trying to renew) and use a privacy.com virtual credit card which works with ANY address. That allows you to pick a state with no sales tax and/or low 911 fees. I used ohio. Random store address in a random town. Since no physical media is being mailed it will drop the fees to almost nothing. I think I paid $2 in fees vs the $19 or so they wanted me to pay which was mainly a 911 fee. You can also lock 1 time usage and a max dollar amount on the card.
Someone here suggested Idaho, and I second that. Only 33 cents in tax to activate.

I bought this same deal for my middle school daughter phone about 12 months ago for $60 / 12 months, so $5 / mo. It's worked great and there's still have a few months to go before it runs out.
This deal is legit and I plan on buying again.

Question: If I need to activate in this new plan when old expires, is it possible to keep the same phone number? I assume then I'd just type in the new activation/PIN code and should get another 12 months.
You can add this plan to her account by using "RECHARGE" (listed under your account). It adds the new plan when the old one expires. Here is a screenshot of my additional year.

I'm in a similar situation. I ported over a little under a month ago. My 1st month ends 1/27, so at least I'll make sure they reset my minutes, texts, and data properly. So far the only issue I've had is that they only give you 500 MMS/month and the app and website both don't show how many MMS you've used and how many remain. If I understand correctly, android RCS sends group message and perhaps others as MMS. Seems like a potential annoyance and reason I wouldn't want to keep using the plan.

I also had the same thought as you. I'm coming from the annual 5GB/Unlimited talk/text on Red pocket which was ~$144 with taxes and fees. $60 seemed too good to be true, but I figured I'd take a gamble on it. Cutting it to $49 seems unnecessary. IDK if there are a lot of people who were saying no at $60 that will be pulled in for $49, but who knows.

Why are they doing this? Tons of possible reasons. I think most likely is that they're willing to either make no money or perhaps lose money in order to get customers. Maybe the offer insanely cheap prices for a year and once they get all the customers that they can by doing that they start ramping up their prices to about the same or maybe a little less than some of the bigger competitors.

Perhaps they need to get to a certain number of users or data/minutes/sms to get certain volume discounts with Verizon/T-Mobile.

I do think they could be juicing their growth numbers in order to get bought out. I would assume that if that happens they wouldn't screw people out of service they've already bought. Whoever the acquirer is wouldn't want to lose all the customers they just paid to get.

The most pessimistic scenario is that they are barely keeping their head above water and they need a bunch of cash this week to avoid bankruptcy. If that's the case, maybe in 6 months or something they try something like this again and if it doesn't get them enough cash they go under and we're scrambling for another provider.

They don't know what they are talking about. I've been on the plan for months and it resets every month.
If you hit the quota can you pay per text / per minute ?

Same question.

We have no choice of Verizon network so can we port-in a number from T-mobile to this Infimobile using the same T-mobile network?

So can we use recharge to add another year to this plan as a new user?

How does this work? It looks like when you order, you have to choose e-sim or physical sim. Is there a "I already have a sim" option?
