Twigby

I asked prebuy if the device was unlocked to which they said yes it was. So after I get the phone I find that it has OEM unlocking disabled. I was happy with their service and all I want to do is install a different OS than stock, Lineage-OS or along those lines. But not happening, whats worse they wanted to treat it like a warranty issue and make the process highly subjective and time consuming. Due to their misrepresentation I have to pay for return shipping and hope they feel like refunding the purchase price. I feel a dispute is ahead with my credit card company. There are MANY other MVNO's out there, I would avoid this company at ALL cost.

I like Twigby because I like Sprint, but also because of the idea unique to Twigby of supplementing Sprint's coverage reach [for phone calls] using Verizon's network. Check out Sprint's signal strength where you live to insure adequacy and, with few exceptions, you should be satisfied with data applications like Zooming. Another stress-reducing asset to keep in mind is their chat service: Responsiveness is normally quick and typically you will be placed in touch with someone eager to help work out your problem as they consistently have done for me over the last three or so years. While there are a few sub carriers [MVNO's] out there that may be slightly lower in price, those benefits which I have described make up for the difference in terms of satisfaction.

Called Twigby customer service to activate a new SIM card.
Got someone called Dave who was just the worst customer service person I have ever dealt with.

Was rude and not helpful at all

I have contacted Twigby assistance before and gotten professional and courteous service in the past

Dave needs to go!

Ever since they switched to Verizon network, I have gotten coverage in numerous places I never could when it was a Sprint network, even at my house in a canyon where there was NO coverage before. One drawback since it's a Verizon network, my data usage has gone up at a rate of about 4x the rate before, when in actuality I am using less than I did in the past because I am using a browser (Puffin) that saves you like 356% of your normal data usage. I don't even use my phone hardly at all compared to most people as I am at home 95% of the time and use my computer. What's up with that Twigby?

Customer service is great. I have only had 1 rep that had no idea what was going on or how to solve the issue. All the others are VERY knowledgeable! Only other is is when you run out of "high speed data" it drops to the speed of old 2g service. Less than 1by1mbps. Can't even track my kids phones on that speed. BUT the unlimited is $35 and gives 20gb of "high speed data" whether your on 4g LTE or 5G. Other than that it works well on Verizon network. If they could just up their "low speed data" to 3g speeds it would be the best and the cheapest (least expensive) on the market.

Twigby is only for people who use VERY Little Data and Calls. If you know exactly how much you use and will stick to it then fine. If your life changes then beware. I had to update my plan and was charged $13 for 3 days of 4GB Data to reach the end of my current plan date then 4 days into the new plan after paying another $21 i have used over 5GB of Data. That's 9GB of Data (I don't watch Videos or Stream) for $34 SO FAR for 7 days. Why not just get an unlimited plan for $40-50! Remember Twigby doesn't offer unlimited plans. Just know that you get what you pay for.

They were ok until I needed costumer service, by the way only way to communicate with them is through chat online only! No # to call "real pain". Bought two phones when I first switch to them, not even a year old, they switch networks and said my phones were no longer compatible had to buy two more or I will no longer have service bought two more one did not work, they charge me $30 to exchange the phone $7 for shipping $11 to return the phone that did not work and they charge me the price of the new phone till they can inspect the phone for damage. Then I found an extra charge on my bank statement for $44 they said they have no record of it so there is nothing they can do about it. I told them I will file a fraudulent charge with my bank they said if I do they will turn service off till they can investigate and they will charge me $30 for it. Read there policies before you switch to there service (unreal!) I had enough went to switch my service to another carrier, try to port my #'s should have taken a few min. To do, but not with them it took 4 days/hours every day going back and forth with them, they gave me a different excuses every time, File a complaint with FCC they finally ported my numbers.
What a nightmare of a company to deal with.

The Motorola G7 is listed on Twigby's site as a phone that supports WiFi calling. Because of that, I bought two Motorola G7 Power phones. Well, guess what? WiFi calling didn't work - the phone didn't have the settings shown in the how-to-enable-WiFi-calling article. So, I had a chat session with one of their tech support folks. Completely unhelpful - all they wanted to do was argue about my use of the word "incompatible" - they stated (repeatedly) that my phone was NOT incompatible, while also stating that SOME Moto G7 Powers don't have "the right firmware" to support WiFi calling, and basically informing me that I was out of luck. That's what I call "incompatible", but then again, I only have a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering - what do I know?!?!?

P.s. I switched to Republic Wireless, and WiFi calling works great - using the exact same phone.

I think Twigby is the best NVNO, using both Sprint, and Verizon as a backup network. CDMA is better than GSM and with Twigby you get both Sprint and the Verizon. Network as a backup if Sprint won't work where you are located. Porting over was a breeze too.
