I did a speed test but only got about 900 Kbps so it was slower than 4G but I was only getting about 2...
My only internet at home is visible so I never use wi-fi calling.
It does not matter but just curious. I thought the price was subsidized probably because boost phones are subsidized and I use to...
I bought it from visible.
I thought the visible phone was subsidized but then found out $200 is the normal unsubsidized price for the unlocked phone. I did not know unlocked phones are now that...
On the box it says: SM-A146U1/DS
Here is the link to the $159 price.

I checked on amazon and this looks like the same phone for the same price of $199.99.
...
This video says that the Samsung Galaxy A14 is the best selling phone so it must be popular.
At 4:39 this video says the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G is $214 normal price so the $200 visible is charging...
Oh, OK I will just wait and see if it turns to 5G sometime. It was kind of disappointing to get a 5G phone and still see 4G.
I successfully completed the upgrade today and everything seems to be working.
However, the coverage map clearly shows dark blue for 5G at my location but my phone says 4G so not sure why I'm not...
I got another email today from visible that said the $100 amazon gift card has been extended to 5/4 and they give the same code as before that didn't work.
I will probably do the upgrade this...
Thanks to both zapjb and PaulCrawhorne for the info.
I don't have internet at home other than the visible phone so I guess I need to find a wi-fi hotspot.
I was planning on using the visible...
On the 17th I got another email that said to "Complete your network upgrade now".
However, it did not give any info about a deadline.
Does anyone know what the deadline is to update?
I have...
Well, I got 2 errors when trying to upgrade my phone which were problems with their system so I think it is a hassle when you run into problems like that.
Also you have to install the visible app...
I guess the phones that they sell on the visible website are subsidized so they only let new customers or approved upgrade customers buy them.
Visible seems to be a bigger hassle to setup than...
The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G is back in stock and I ordered it today.
However, I had several problems.
The first problem came when I was trying to upgrade the plan and I got an error message that...
If the Samsung 5G phone does not come back in stock in time and because there are no other 5G phones I want, I might get another 4G phone.
The 4G phone I might get is the TCL 30 LE for $105 with...
Now the Motorola one 5G UW ace for $240 with Android 11 is out of stock too and that was my second choice.
The Blade X1 5G for $240 is still available but it only comes with Android 10 and I don't...
Originally I was upset because my phone was working fine.
When I got my moto e 2020 4G phone they did not have 5G in my area and the 5G phones cost more than they do now.
However, my area now...
Here is what they said about the phone.
XXXX , I am sorry about Samsung Galaxy A14 5G. We work hard to offer the phone you want, but sometimes we're caught in between shipments. Don't worry...
I tried to ask the chat feature on the visible website when the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G will be back in stock.
It looks like a digital assistant comes on and I ask my question but nothing else...
Today I got a text about the upgrade and promo that included a website with more info in case anyone is interested.
The text said:
"To continue service, you must get a new phone and connect to...
I just noticed that the basic plan is still $25 which is what I am paying now so my plan is not grandfathered. Someone told me that the price went up so I thought I was on a grandfathered plan now.
...
I decided to get a 5G phone this time because my area has 5G now.
Unfortunately out of the 5G phones they have, I want the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G (Android 13) $199, but it is out of stock so I will...
I found this on reddit about the upgrade that sounds similar to my email but the person here was not told to upgrade their phone.
...
Thanks for the info.
When you upgraded did you have to select from more than one plan?
Because the email makes it sound like you must choose from more than one plan. When I originally signed...
