What are /r/USCellular's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I actually had a similar issue on my A52 as by default my phone was set to prefer cellular network over wifi. I downloaded the app below and changed my wifi calling to prefer calling over wifi. I haven't had my issue since. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widget7.wifi.calling

So for $5 more my 3 lines were restructured. Which is kinda nice cause my folks both have hotspot now in case their home internet goes down. My plan is the 1080p one which I have NordVPN so the 9.0 is moot. Have people been getting hotspot cutoff messages during the pandemic still?

Look in the Move to IOS

Apple has an app in Play store that will help with Transfer. It’s 50/50 sometimes I’ve had great luck and bad luck doesn’t cost anything but some time so worth a try.

If you don’t use extra security apps should work fine. It basically creates adhoc between the two to transfer photos, apps (if available) contacts and pictures.

Okay, download Samsung Band Selection, go to more network settings, tap UScellular under sim cards and take a screenshot of that page and upload it to imgur so I can see it :)))

I realize I'm hella late responding (and this probably won't help your issue anyway tbh) but in case you still want to try or for anyone else who may find it:

The reason that dialer code doesn't work for you is that USCC long ago seems to have instructed Samsung to disable such codes in the firmware for their carrier branded devices. It's been this way with every USC Samsung Android I've ever seen - hell, almost every carrier branded USC Android period. BUT...

Grab an app called Shortcut Master Lite (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite). Open it up, click the three dots and select "Search...", then enter the word radio. It should bring up an entry that says "Phone Services / com.android.phone.settings.RadioInfo." Select it and press the Launch icon that appears - and just like that, there's the hidden Radio Info menu that "The Man" wants to shut you out of.

...But I doubt it does much good for you, because I have the S22U also and my defaults were already exactly what has been suggested so yours likely are too. (And I've never yet seen a 5G signal even once with this phone!)

I'm ignorant on this, so tell me if I say something idiotic.

I decided to search for "orbi antenna" on YouTube and found vids of people running speed tests before and after installation of an external antenna. Most of them used an external antenna that is kind of an all in one mimo deal with two cables.

Something like this:

MIMO Panel Antenna by Waveform | +9 dBi Gain | 600-2700 MHz | for 3G, 4G LTE, 5G Modems, Routers, & Cell Boosters | (Antenna Only) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CLV3BHJ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_B3JQ1G8A7KS4EAAPVT62?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I will follow your advice and try the orbi by itself and see how it does.

Thanks for the help.

Google Messages is not a subscription service at all. It is just another app you can use for your texts but the Google Messages app comes with built in spam protection (not 100% but it's better than nothing). Download this and than set it as your default for sms / MMS.

I can't comment on one handed typing as I am an infrequent texter and I tend to be phone in left hand and type with right when I do text. The screen is noticeably narrower and it is easier to stretch your thumb across to hit an icon. As to case, you really need one this is one slippery customer, I bought this one on Amazon

It probably will only stop dings on the case and it certainly makes the grip more certain, it's also wireless charging capable. For now it's good for me.

Check this out. Will definitely help in your vehicle. Cel-Fi GO RV | Mobile Cellular Signal Booster for RVs, Vanlifers, and Adventure Vehicles | Approved for use on All Major US Carriers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BVXN64Y/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_RN5MW60CT6EDN9JW3S2Y

AFAIK the only reliable way to "port forward" with any type of cellular connection is using a VPN that supports port forwarding. AstrillVPN, Private Internet Access and quite a few others support port forwarding.

The only possible way to port forward on a cellular data connection is through the use of a VPN that supports it. There are quite a few available that support it these days, though I don't believe it's possible to route your gaming device traffic through a VPN on the router natively. The "most" user friendly approach seems to be running a port forwarding enabled VPN on a separate PC connected to the router, and rebroadcasting that connection to the game consoles from that PC. Personally I use Astrill VPN on my PC tethering from a 4G connection if I have the need.
