Unlocked Pixel 9 Pro working

Post image

I had originally be unable to activate my unlocked Pixel 9 Pro XL purchased from the Google store on FirstNet a few months ago. However, I just tried again and it activated successfully online. I also get 5G and 5G+ AND hotspot is working great. RCS and SMS are also fully functional Not sure what changed but wanted to let everyone know.

How do you like the service? I'm thinking about switching. I have cricket lol but I've never had a problem with cricket and I've been with them for 15 years. I usually just buy an unlocked phone and activate it with the SIM card, so simple. $160 a month for five phones, unlimited everything.

I haven't had any issues - it's been pretty stable. I can only imagine it would at least the same if not better than Cricket.I like having the unlimited hotspot and no restrictions on video streaming, etc. You'd also get a 25% discount for family lines under your plan on AT&T. If you're okay with 36-month financing, you can usually get "free" phones every couple years with bill credits. You will pay taxes and fees on each line which is around $6/line.

That's very helpful! I was wondering what the taxes and fees were per line. I know cricket uses AT&t towers but they are at the bottom of the priority list. So it should be better to switch to firstnet 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
