Updated on March 28, 2018 Glenn Stok moreGlenn Stok is skilled at researching and evaluating all kinds of products and has a knack for clearly explaining their features. Several years ago I decided to reduce my cellular costs but I didn't want to accept a low quality service. I also wanted to keep the same number. So I did my research and narrowed it down to two companies.

They both offer prepaid airtime that can be added to the phone when needed, and no contract is required. They both let you roll over and keep your unused minutes as long as you keep the service active by adding more minutes before the expiration date. As it turns out, TracFone owns Net10. This article is about my experience with switching my mobile service to NET10, including the pros and cons I’ve discovered about the service.

I did some calculations and realized that I was paying 50¢ a minute with my old subscription service due to the fact that I used it so little and still had to pay the high monthly fees. 15 per month and get 150 minutes added to your service each month. 50 a month. This includes unlimited talk, text, and data. I'll discuss this in more detail later. Plans for standard cellphones include rollover of unused minutes.

What you don't use will carry forward to cover you in those months when you might have a lot of usage. 15 since I had enough accumulated from prior months that had rolled forward. If your usage is higher, you can save even more. 45. That's less than 8¢ per minute! I like the fact that with NET10 I only pay for the minutes I buy.

In that sense there really is no monthly fee. Any unused minutes roll forward. So if I have a high-usage month, I still don't pay extra since I'm just using the unused minutes that accumulated from prior months. After a few years of using NET10, I already have over 5000 minutes in my account that added up from prior unused minutes. There is one thing to keep in mind.

You have to add more minutes and time before you use it up, otherwise you lose your service. As long as you add minutes and time before time expiration, any unused minutes will carry forward. If you add it sooner than the present term expires, the remaining time will also be kept. Nothing is ever lost! No games are played!

Their service was lousy and their customer support was even worse. My online research yielded software unlocking and I was away. From that point on, I was the guy my friends came to when they needed advice about unlocking their device. I lost an iPhone 4 to hardware unlocking in early 2011 and have been sold on IMEI unlocking ever since.

So no, I don’t have a degree or anything like that, but I’ve made every mistake you can when it comes to iPhone unlocking and so can at least tell you how to avoid the same ones I made. The process for testing the unlock providers was simple. I started with a Google, forum, and blog search to create a list of all the iPhone 6 Unlock providers available. I then started an extensive online review review process; combing through sites like Trust Pilot, Ripoff Report, and Trustmark Reviews to whittle the list down to the most reliable sources.

This left 3 services to test. The next step was to put each of these service providers through their paces. I put a call out to my mailing list for anyone who had an iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, or 6s Plus who wanted them unlocked and got 68 responses. Of these, I chose 9 iPhone 6’s to unlock. We tested each of the 3 IMEI unlock service provider in each of these three categories with an iPhone 6/6 Plus and iPhone 6s/6s Plus.
