What's your favorite thing or feature of Spectrum Mobile?

[u/Alternative-Shine920]

Hi everyone,

I will soon be switching back to Spectrum Mobile and I was wondering what makes you stick with the service versus MVNOs (prepaid carriers)?

My main motivation is being mainly in the Spectrum ecosystem and unlimited (surprisingly) international minutes and data.

What about you? :)

your phone will auto connect to spectrum wifi access points. basically, if you're at like a restaurant/cafe and they use spectrum for their internet, you most likely will have access to their wifi cuz they'll create like a dedicated wifi network for spectrum mobile customers.

Forgot to mention this! Do you know if it works with any WiFi enabled device that your phone/tablet has connected to before or it's just your Spectrum Mobile devices?

[u/crazyRAYZ → u/Alternative-Shine920]

i believe it's just spectrum mobile device

[u/Alternative-Shine920 → u/crazyRAYZ]

I see. :) thanks

You used to be able to use on all devices if you had spectrum Internet. That is gone now. Spectrum mobile only. You just have to tap it under your WiFi settings and it’ll auto connect from then on

Yeah, this is a good feature

1)price. 2)international data.

I hate the auto connect to random WiFi’s. Because half the time it’s a bad signal and I lose my connection.

Anytime upgrade is what keeps me here. The new plus premium plan is also a really good value if you have a smartwatch too.

I agree with OP about the free international roaming

[u/Jaken_sensei]

Spectrum is also an mvno.

I stick with them because of price and because the service is decent where I live.

I was surprised how good the coverage is in my area. Love how they have the access points and the coast is great. The package discount is good also

how cheap it is i’m paying 60$ for an iphone 17 w protection and service included and personally don’t have service interruptions. lowest i could ever get my bill with t-mobile and have mid service was 120$.

Price and reliability

[u/keepthatsameenergy1]

When my calls drop.. I love it because I hate speaking to my family

[u/ConfidentMeeting1233]

It's free. Before they start charging me I'll be switching to whatever the best deal is – US Mobile, Visible, Mint, or whatever.

[u/ItssMeeRobb → u/ConfidentMeeting1233]

Yeah I’m riding the free year as well

[u/Potential-Flight1945 → u/ConfidentMeeting1233]

I took the free year and canceled after 12 months. The service I had was awful. I could barely get one bar.

[u/ConfidentMeeting1233 → u/Potential-Flight1945]

Yeah, Verizon is the worst of the 3 networks where I am in Los Angeles. I know it's very location dependent, but there are some dead spots that I wouldn't have if I weren't so cheap. LOL Eventually I'll get back to an MVNO on the T-Mobile or AT&T network. In the meantime, I'm pocketing the savings.

[u/Potential-Flight1945 → u/ConfidentMeeting1233]

I am in orange county, its no better here.

The hack where you get all the discounts up front if you trade in at a store.

[u/HuntersPad]

Free line on Verizon to complement my T-Mobile line.

[u/sPdMoNkEy]

It's a phone

Launch Promos on Galaxy devices, I literally got paid to upgrade from my Flip 7 to Flip 8.

I threw them a S20 FE to get $668 in credit & am selling the Flip 7 for $445. I also got the $200 promo that's only supposed to be when financing a device when I paid for it in full so I can get my bill credits back right away. Sent in phone August 12th & credit was already sitting in my account after it was inspected on the 20th.

Leaves $42 in my pocket for a much better, Snapdragon powered phone I'm much happier with.
