I know when it first came out it was very spotty

 

[Dakstang]

But LTE was fast enough for me.

 

[Dakstang]

so idc

 

[Butters]

I would see Youtube videos of that very thing. People would have 5g in one spot and cross the street and have nothing.

 

[Dakstang]

Where I live I can get one bar of service so that really doesn't matter much to me.

 

[Dakstang]

I only use the phone service when I am at work.

 

[Butters]

idk how well mine works. When I'm home it always says 5G but I'm also on wifi so i never try it and when I'm out of the house I don't pay attention to it.

 

[Butters]

lately the only time im out of the house is in my car which i dont look at it or the grocery store and i'm trying to get out of there as fast as possible.

 

[Dakstang]

Back to what you were saying.....if I get an unlocked phone and get a SIM card....what might go wrong?

 

[Dakstang]

I know you said Verizon would basically say get fucked if something goes wrong.

 

[Butters]

hopefully nothing.

 

[Butters]

but if you can't figure it out or it doesn't work I doubt they would help you. I've never dealt with that honestly.

 

[Dakstang]

I see.

 

[Butters]

you'd probably have problems at first because your messages you get that are imessages instead of regular texts would still be sent as imessages and you wouldn't get them.
