This is a terrible service
This is a terrible service. I can't believe the shady practices they engage in, some with no logical reason at all. 1. Their sim card LOCKS YOUR PHONE TO THEIR NETWORK even though they are supposed to be a T-Mobile MVNO. 2. The sim card activation is likely to initially fail and it's practically impossible to get through to a person to get it activated unless you have some other way to call them, and that's hard to get to s person, too. 3. They block "premium texts" which makes no sense. They allow you to RECEIVE text messages from short code numbers, but block you from A SENDING them. The customers CAN'T send "premium texts" because they don't have premium numbers. We are only trying to RESPOND to short code numbers to VERIFY ACCOUNTS AND DELIVERIES. Customers are trying to send just normal texts back to the premium number, but LM are blocking these so you can't opt-in to text notifications for ANYTHING. This includes local and Federal government numbers. There is absolutely NO REASON to be blocking these. They may not be able to OFFER "premium numbers" but that's not an excuse to block normal text messages to any number. 4. If you try to leave and keep your number they make you "verify" your last several phone calls. They told the FCC they don't keep any of the customers' phone information and law enforcement would have to go through T-Mobile to acquire any of that, so how are they using your last several phone calls to verify your number? The list goes on. I deeply regret giving them a try.
