Get a trial SIM to test the service out, if you're satisfied with the service then I would recommend you to switch over.
One thing to note is Mint runs on the T-Mobile network and has no roaming, so coverage might be worst than Verizon. You can refer to the coverage map to make sure that you're covered.

I’m using the PS4 Remote Play app to stream it to an iPhone XS Max.
You can play with your phone vertical or horizontal and use touch controls if you need to, but you can also super easily connect a PS4 controller via Bluetooth.
I saw this phone holder for the controller in a reddit thread and it’s really simple and works great.

Really, because I can pick up last year's Galaxy S8 for less than $500.
And you can go online and find new V30s for $500.
Well first of all i'm from EU and the X costs 1159€ here. Just look on ebay (that's where i got mine from) https://www.ebay.es/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xgalaxy+s8.TRS0&_nkw=galaxy+s8&_sacat=0 you can find brand new S8 on the range of 530 - 550 easily and here on EU that's half of what the X costs.
If you are from NA look at amazon https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S8-Unlocked-64GB/dp/B06Y14T5YW/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1510623910&sr=1-1&keywords=galaxy+s8&dpID=417dUvGor3L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch 520$ for a S8.
You cannot seriously compare buying a phone off Swappa to a phone for $500 new.

If you did a quick amazon search you would’ve found this as the first result.
She's going to make friends so she's going to want a local number. That's not to say that there aren't options like WhatsApp, but it'll make life easier for whatever official things she may need to do with a local number.
For yourself, I've picked up sim cards from Amazon for European travel. Stupid cheap for gigs of data from 3UK, with international roaming for pretty much all of Europe. I'll go find the link and edit my post.
So I was able to get a 20% off code and signed up through the website and have a tracking code. I have a few questions on how to properly sign up for T-Mobile:
When I go on the promotion status site to check it, it says Tampa, FL for the location, but I'm in Dallas, TX. Will this be okay? It did take my phone number when I signed up and my email, and I printed out the confirmation page with tracking ID. Also, how long will it take for me to see the 20% discount for life on my bill?
I'm switching over from Verizon and have an iPhone 6s Plus, and will be porting my number over. I want to go about this properly and need a SIM card. Can I purchase this Amazon prepaid SIM card and activate it on the T-Mobile One Postpaid account with my 20% off discount?: https://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Prepaid-Complete-SIM-Kit/dp/B00LPPHHFK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 If not, where can I purchase a correct SIM card?
How do I activate the SIM card once I get it and transfer my number? Do I need to call in or can it be done online?
Can I also sign up for the "17SWITCHER" $150 gift card promo and stack the coupon? If so, do I just go on the T-Mobile Promotions site and enter that before or after I sign up? How long does it take to receive the card via mail?
Thank you in advance!

Mint Mobile trial sim. $5 on Amazon. Trial includes 100MB of 4G LTE data, 100 text messages, and 100 minutes of talk—all of which is good for 7 days after activation. Activate it with a random number. Test coverage for a week. Then throw the sim away and decide if you want to move your mom to t-mobile (or Mint Mobile if you don't need postpaid luxuries).
Here's the SIM Starter Kit you need on Amazon
Just follow the kit's instructions and get select the right plan. It's only there for new activations. The only issue you might have is porting out your number if you want to keep it. You can port it to Google Voice and back to the new account. That's probably the best and cheapest option.
plus, one thing to remember is that, while on paper the switch is less powerful than current smartphones, it's also selling at a much lower price. at the moment a galaxy s8 is 600 dollars on amazon
but usually selling at over 700 dollars, while the switch is less than half of that at 300 dollars
(https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=nintendo+switch)
You can also get one from amazon for $9.99 instead of the $25 if that doesn’t end up working, probably can find some way cheaper on eBay, just make sure they are not expired.
If you aren't using an IO board you need either an HDMI audio extractor, or an HDMI switch that can also do the audio extraction.
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07H94D77V/
IMO if you are going to use other devices on that display that only have HDMI out, then an extractor makes sense. If the MiSTer is the only device, I feel the IO board is the better option. An extractor is roughly 40% of the cost of an IO board without the additional features the IO board will give you.
I did just that, today actually. Got a Moto G4 on amazon (with prime) for $125 after an additional random prime discount. Great phone for the price. I'm also rationalizing it as a test phone for Android in general, as I am beginning to see the writing on wall that this platform is truly (and sadly) on its way out.

Good for 1 week and hope it google doesn't block the number or gmail for creating multiple GV numbers.
​
But if you need permanent sort of number then cheapest is Red pocket $30 plan for 1 year on Sprint with effective $2.5 pm. Or Tracfone annual plan which varies from $30 to $60 for one year plan. Or Liberty Wireless $60 1 year plan for call and text but you won't be able to make outgoing from that with GV number as to reroute, GV needs internet and that plan doesn't include internet. Or $5 pm plan from HelloMobile on Tmobile which have 500/500/500 pm. Or Tello plans starting at $5 pm on Sprint.

I have one and they're great! Compatible with nearly any Smartphone.
Edit: Sorry I didn't see the part about the keyboard. Not sure if it will facilitate that.
Yes, but you might have to call 611 to do it as the option is removed from the website most of the time.
The same as BestBuy is also available on Amazon w/prime shipping: https://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Prepaid-Complete-SIM-Kit/dp/B00LPPHHFK/
SIM cards aren't used to store info for smartphones. You most likely have no info on it.
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Prepaid-Complete-SIM-Kit/dp/B00LPPHHFK/
or go to a T-Mobile store and get one for $20
You can also try cutting your SIM to fit the Nano size, but it isn't entirely safe to do.
You can pick up a starter pack with a week of service for $5 on Amazon. Just check it out for yourself. If you decide to sign up, they even give you back the $5.
https://www.amazon.com/Mint-Mobile-Starter-Compatibility-SIM/dp/B0786RD524/
That's a USB 3 micro port. The bigger side is the same as a normal USB micro, the smaller part is the extra pins that are in USB 3 ports.
Edit: here's an example for reference https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-3-0-Cable-Male/dp/B00NH13G5A
What about a regular Chromecast + an HDMI audio extractor? It's a bit pricier than the old Chromecast Audio was, but it should work, and you get the option of optical or line-out.
Here is the link to check out the specs. It's not just a fan that clips on top. It's a whole faceplate that's basically the same as VR cover. It will even fit VR covers foam pads.
Did you buy your iPhone straight from Apple? It's best to buy iPhones straight from the manufacturer as they come unlocked.
I would suggest you try Mint service first, then commit to a plan. Mint has a trial kit on Amazon for $1.
If you do decide to switch over to Mint then to get the most savings you'll have to commit to a year-long plan.
Test Mint out first by ordering a trial kit, and if it works for you you can switch over to a plan.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786RD524
Also to note, Mint sells plans in bulk. This means paying for a whole year’s worth of service upfront.
Ghost Blade is ok, nothing special. Not one of my favorites, but I’ve honestly not spent too much time with it. It looks nice, that’s for sure. For audio I used an HDMI audio extractor like this:

You can but it won’t be the greatest experience if those bands are heavily used in your area. I would recommend getting a Mint 7 day trial SIM from Amazon for a buck first and making sure that you have coverage.
Mint Mobile See for Yourself Kit | Verify Compatibility with Our Talk, Text & Data Plans (3-in-1 GSM SIM Card) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786RD524/
I'd get the See-For-Yourself kit on Amazon. Trust me. I didn't, and the coverage & speeds are spotty in my area, but looked perfect on the map.

I sent my friend a prepaid one off Amazon because T-Mobile shipped his sim using the slowest shipping choice ever. It cost more than eBay but I needed it asap and prime was next day. I did a Sim swap on the website with no issues on my postpaid account.

Porting to your already activated plan - no, that is done at time of activation and tied into the sim card you activated. If you've had the service for less than 7 days you can get a refund and start the process anew. @ /u/MintMobileAlex
Porting your number to a newly bought plan - sure at any time. Have to start from scratch with a new sim card and account.
https://www.amazon.com/Mint-Mobile-Starter-Verify-Compatibility/dp/B0786RD524
If you need to test any future devices, it is recommended to buy the 7 day trial kit
Lastly, here is a link to the same question asked 20 hours ago with further confirmation: https://www.reddit.com/r/mintmobile/comments/kii1kv/question/
It’s all depends on the spectrum to customer ratio in your area. It’s impossible for anyone to give you an accurate idea. The best thing to do is pick up a Mint Mobile Starter Kit and try it for yourself.
Sometimes they give them away. Mine was free. You can get them pretty cheap on amazon now too https://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Prepaid-Complete-SIM-Kit/dp/B00LPPHHFK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470539092&sr=8-1&keywords=T+mobile+sim
You already have an activate account, number, and the $30 plan. You just need to perform a SIM swap. You can go to a T-Mobile store to do this (but the SIM will cost $20) or you can get a $4.99 SIM starter kit from Best Buy or Amazon (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/t-mobile-complete-sim-starter-kit-white/8699899.p?skuId=8699899 or https://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Prepaid-Complete-SIM-Kit/dp/B00LPPHHFK, call into customer service, and perform a SIM swap. Do NOT buy a new SIM from the T-Mobile website; these are not meant for replacements, and will come pre-activated. While they can be deactivated and reused, it's a hassle and easier to just get a new SIM put on your account at a T-Mobile store, or get a blank, inactive SIM from Amazon or Best Buy.
If you have Amazon, you can get the Moto G4 with lockscreen ads for $149.99.
Or you can get the ZTE ZMax Pro for $179.99 through T-Mobile or $7.50/month for 24 months if you have good credit or paid your bill on time for 12 consecutive months to qualify for $0 down.
T-Mobile doesn't care if you have a Verizon phone or not. As long as it's unlocked you're good to go. Also iPhone 6 Plus isn't band 12 compatible so depending on your area, you may not be able to take advantage of T-Mobiles entire network. iPhone 6s, 7, & SE are band 12 compatible.
Edit: You can activate a sim online and select your plan and port your number. Get the 3 in 1 sim from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LPPHHFK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_zhvFybJDEDQER
You should be able to. You're gonna need the Verizon account holders name, account address, account number, and account pin/password if applicable.
I am not sure if you're gonna need new sims or if you will be able to use any existing active sim cards from those 2 active lines. If you find that you do need new sims, Amazon has them. Otherwise, T-Mobile might charge you $20 for each sim if you get it through them. Also, you can port those numbers in through the phone or through T-Force, no need to go into a store unless you need to do it right away.
You can a Moto g4 if you sign up as a amazon prime member for 199 dollars. This phone would be your best choice. The nexibit robin is a fragile phone and also the battery life is poor. The asus zenfone 3 laser processor performance is weak. The moto g4 is a pretty decent phone, also has a micro sd card which supports up to 256 gb. The moto g4 has us warranty.
Wow I came here to ask about the same thing. I'm not really a fan of the Samsungs UI I've seen in previous models and generally prefer stock Android but with the Pixel 2 not having the 3.5mm jack I'm looking at the S8 or Pixel 1.
Amazon currently has the unlocked S8 for $575 which is actually what prompted me to come here.
Seems like a good deal but I can't decide if it's worth putting up with Samsung's UI...
I'm also not considering a Motorola because Lenovo...
I have used sims from UK Three in Austria, Switzerland and France and had a good experience. They cover most of Europe and can be purchased from Amazon and set up before you leave. You get a UK based number and we used it with iMessage no problem.
Bestbuy is the only place I've seen it.
Could also buy a cheap Amazon gift card from a B&M. (If credit card is your problem).
Add it to a Amazon account and buy this
Get it shipped to a amazon locker. (If shipping address is a problem)
Mint will refund the 5$ when you activate your account.
Not a direct answer to your question, but I don't know another way, goodluck.
Porting a number means moving a phone number from one carrier to another. The www.sprint.com/1yearfree promotion is only available to users with a compatible phone (your future unlocked Apple Store iPhone qualifies) and porting a number in from another carrier.
In your case, it appears you do not already have a number with an existing carrier, so you'll want to source a phone number from a carrier as quickly, painlessly, and cheaply as possible. Unfortunately, I do not know the absolute optimum solution to this, but I do know a good one: get the T-mobile "bring your own device" activation kit from Amazon https://www.smile.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Prepaid-Complete-SIM-Kit/dp/B00LPPHHFK, shove the sim card in your new iPhone and activate t-mobile prepaid service on the 'pay as you go' tier. You'll be able to activate service and get a number without paying T-mobile anything (do not pay for a top-up credit). Then call up Sprint at https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/bring-your-own-phone/user-not-eligible.html and ask for the 1 year free promotion. When they ask for your port information, give them that it's t-mobile prepaid. The phone number is the phone number, the 'account number' is 1 plus the phone number, and the account pin is what you set while setting up t-mobile prepaid. Sprint will ship you a sim card and you can start using the 1yearfree service.
You could purchase a pre-paid SIM card from a service provider on any member country. Roaming is mandatory within the EU. So you can buy a card in France & use it with the same rates in the Netherlands.
Examples from Amazon using UK phone numbers.
Here it is on Amazon. Two SIM cards are included. One to try. One to port your number over, should you decide to switch.
If you're in a hurry, you can get Mint SIMs from Amazon; 2 for $1 with Prime delivery.
https://www.amazon.com/Mint-Mobile-Starter-Verify-Compatibility/dp/B0786RD524/
Not without splitting it out of the HDMI signal. Something like this is your real only option that I am aware of. https://smile.amazon.com/avedio-links-Extractor-Splitter-Converter/dp/B07H94D77V/ref=sr_1_3
I ordered one from amazon, its only 99c
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0786RD524
And yes, they come with 2 sims, one is the trial and the other you use when porting your existing number over (follow the instructions from the app before switching the sim)
Mint operates on T-Mobile's cell towers, so anywhere T-Mobile works, Mint should work. Amazon sells a Mint mobile starter kit for $1, , which gives you 7 days to test out the service.
If you have Amazon Prime and don’t have time to run around to different stores. You will need to use the SIM card in that packaging with the letter D identifier.
Edit: Clarification
If you want to try out service before you take the plunge you can get a starter sim card from Mint Mobile on amazon. $5 gets you a 7 day trial. https://www.amazon.com/Mint-Mobile-Starter-Verify-Compatibility/dp/B0786RD524/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=B0786RD524&qid=1590690583&sr=8-1
I've had it for a few months now and it's been great. I have only played over my home wifi though so I can't really comment on how it is outside of my house (i.e. on someone else's wifi etc). My PS4 is connected via Ethernet which I think is almost a must for remote play. You download the PS4 remote play app and that is how you connect it to your PS4. The controller is connected via bluetooth so you have to pair it with your phone. I have played a few games, Diablo 3, Borderlands 2 and Destiny with zero lag. One suggestion though would be to get the controller adapter. I bought this one http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00FLLFGO8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 it is a must for use with the phone. Battery life has been decent - I don't have specifics but i remember the one day I was home sick playing and I got at least a few hours and my phone was down at like 30% (from a full charge) before I decided to plug it in.
I've heard of2 remides. Apparently a fan can b bought 2help prevent fog, secondly rainx (think there'sother antifog sprays also). Never used either so up2 u2 find best value. Good luck
https://www.amazon.com/BOBOVR-F2-Circulation-Interface-Accumulation/dp/B099574TKJ
It's fogging up. Fogging up happens when the lens are very cold (from the AC), and then the heat from your face causes them to fog up. Use the BoboVR F2 to stop that
It says 5$ charge, how does that work? also can you confirm it works for google voice? thank you :)
There may be other similar ones, but this works pretty well for me - if you don’t have Deluxe Audio Strap (just a bad combo… head strap length gets severely reduced.)

That sound system has optical inputs, so you can use an HDMI audio extractor between the Apple TV and your TV. It'll let you connect your Z5400 with optical so you will get 5.1 Dolby Digital from your Apple TV.
I don't know where you live, so I'll just give you a link to US Amazon for one example that will work for you: https://www.amazon.com/avedio-links-Extractor-Splitter-Converter/dp/B07H94D77V/
If your TV supports ARC, you can connect the extractor to your TV's ARC port and get audio from all sources on your TV.
I used a Three SIM I bought ahead of time (actually, my method was more convoluted that just buying the month sim) and used it in Edinburgh and London, then my wife used it when she went to France the next year. Note: do not use voice minutes, they're stupid expensive; call using whatsapp or facetime/data. I'm pretty sure you can get it, put it in the phone, and test it out.
When I signed in and it asked for a physical address I think I used one of the bars near where I was going to be staying in Edinburgh.
I'm on T-mobile now, so int'l texts are free, calls are 25c/min, and data is slow (like dial-up slow - 128kbps) but unlimited. Voice is 25c/min, but if I'm calling via old-school voice it's because I'm probably about to die.
I had problem of fogging up when I would exercise with Supernatural app. It would always fog up with a few minute. I bought this fan My first day with it, I decided to really put it to the test. I ran a 29 minute Supernatural workout with that fan on. I was sweating my ass off, but the lens remained fog free. It works.
Keep in mind that it doesn't blow air into the mask. It pulls air out of the mask. So when the (hot) air is pulled out of the mask, it is naturally replaced with ambient room (cool) air. You never actually feel air movement inside the mask because the fan is tiny. But there's really not a lot of space inside, so that fan doesn't need to move a lot of air to achieve the result.
None of these things will hurt your lenses. The anti fog for dive masks is basically soap. I take a microfiber cloth (used for cleaning glasses) and put a tiny bit of dawn dish soap or similar on it rub it around on the lens, then use a dry part of the cloth to remove/polish it. It's only temporary though. If you're worried about it though, just get this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099574TKJ?ref\_=cm\_sw\_r\_cp\_ud\_dp\_322WERDDG6ZGQ2XC9F19
like said below, just get it from amazon. Not worth your effort.

I use this fan from bobovr. It works perfectly. It vents air from inside the headset. In the odd instance I forget to turn it on, as soon as I do it will be defogged in less than a minute. I highly recommend it.
I can't afford to buy you the $45 card but can certainly order this for you right now. Let me know if you'd like to have it as a backup plan in case you can't find anyone to commission you today or tomorrow.
Ancient. But you want a real answer. It's a USB 3.0 micro B port. The extra part gives more bandwidth to transfer files more quickly. I remember that port on a Samsung Galaxy S5. They got rid of it with the S6.

Mint uses the T-Mobile network, but data is deprioritized compared to official T-Mobile prepaid or postpaid plans, so data performance on Mint will be lower if/when the network is congested.
Coverage in Mesa should be good since it's a heavily populated area with no geographic impediments (i.e. mountains, tall buildings, etc.). I don't know what the data speeds are like, but should be the same as other T-Mobile based MVNOs.

This works perfectly. Even a hard session where I really work up a sweat, no fogging, even with glasses.
I had the same problem. I bought this: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B099574TKJ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_XGYR7NAHCM6N09454KRG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It has its own cover, that I can't seem to get the silicone cover to go over, but you may be fine with it as is.

Can’t speak to that facial cover specifically, but I did recently receive the fan accessory. You’ll still sweat, but it is an improvement
> Well Bluetooth is the worst in terms of compression, so if quality loss was an issue of contention, Bluetooth should never have been in consideration from the gate.
Bluetooth was never a consideration. I tested it due to having a pair of desktop speakers that support it just to see how it worked. I only shared my experience to show why it doesn't work for my needs regardless of quality.
> Arc is what you want for sure. Capable of lossless stereo or lossy surround.
Oh great, I guess I misread the arc vs earc table. I thought only earc did lossless 2.1. I don't plan on going past stereo so this actually sounds great. I replied to another comment with this adapter being paired with any optical speakers as a solution. Seems so simple and cheap, is this really a viable solution? I appreciate your response.
Doesn't sound fun. As if having to use two remotes isn't tedious enough!
I'm looking towards something like this but I'm incredibly wary of a $20 solution. On paper it sounds perfect, plug speakers into this via optical, plug this into HDMI arc, change TV output to HDMI arc and bam. Speakers that work with original TV remote and switch seamlessly between TV apps like netflix, hbo, or hdmi outputs like my Switch without needing to change anything. Unless I'm missing something huge or this just tanks sound quality then it sounds like a solid solution. I'm really hoping to hear from someone who's tried this to tell me why this is too good to be true.
This! I really like it. Helps a lot.

Went from AT&T to Mint Mobile (runs on T-Mobile and $15/month for 4 GB if you pay for a year in advance and scales to $30/mo for unlimited) and service is great in most places of Tulsa and Broken Arrow. We were paying like $120-150 for two lines with AT&T and now pay just over $400 including fees for two lines for a full year. We don't need unlimited data as we use majority Wifi to stream and such at home.
You can buy one of the SIM cards on Amazon and test out coverage with your phone which would verify the T-Mobile coverage where you live: https://www.amazon.com/Mint-Mobile-Starter-Verify-Compatibility/dp/B0786RD524
Oneplus 6 is listed as compatible with Mint Mobile. You can get a trial SIM to verify before committing to their service. https://www.amazon.com/Mint-Mobile-Starter-Verify-Compatibility/dp/B0786RD524/
I have one of these, to reduce fog up on the lenses when playing sweaty games like Beat Saber. Highly recommend it!

Recommend checking out our See for Yourself Kit, allows you to check out what our coverage is like in your area and verify device compatibility. You can get it at Amazon, Target and Best Buy.
It's locked to T-Mobile, but I've seen locked devices accept a Mint SIM before, so it's possible it'd work. You could grab a trial SIM off Amazon and check. They're going for $0.99 right now.

Hopefully, some of the comments are from people who haven't used T-mobile in a while. They have added a ton of Band 71 antenna arrays all over NWA and elsewhere. Band 71 is in the 600mhz band - formerly used for TV stations, which had to vacate that band recently to allow mobile providers to use it; namely, T-mobile, who won the Band 71 auctions. Band 71 is more robust than other mobile phone bands and can travel much farther. I switched to it recently and get service where friends on vzw do not. I also love the wi-fi calling.
Of course, it all depends on where the towers are that you need to use.
Get a Mint Mobile Starter Kit. It has a SIM good for about a week of mobile service and uses the T-mobile network. If you like it, sign up for Mint or directly with T-mobile. https://www.amazon.com/Mint-Mobile-Starter-Verify-Compatibility/dp/B0786RD524
I recommend Three, it's from UK. I used it when I was hitting up a bunch of countries in Europe. It covers EU and Iceland. https://www.amazon.com/PrePaid-destinations-including-European-countries/dp/B01FI1JW72/ is an example, but you could get it elsewhere.
Hey there! I just looked up the band support on the model number you provided, and you’re right, it’s not looking good. Your phone supports cellular bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 25, 26 & 41. Sprint used 25, 26, & 41, so your phone was fully compatible with sprint. This also means your phone is essentially useless on AT&T or Verizon. You do have a chance with T-Mobile. T-Mobile uses 2, 4, 5, 12, 66 & 71. Because your phone is missing 66 & 71, you won’t get the greatest coverage or speeds (& this is most likely what tripped the compatibility checker), but your phone should definitely work. I’d recommend picking up a Mint trial SIM card to confirm if your phone will work on the T-Mobile network.
if not use a hdmi audio breakout for usually under $30

Idk how big of an issue this is for you and how badly you want a solution, but bobovr sells an active air circulation system for $35 on Amazon that’s supposed to completely fix the issue…I don’t have one myself although I may get one next summer if I’m still playing VR as much as I do currently…
