How do you do that?

i will say yes, as imo their services and coverage will only go better and better.

i am currently on fi with my gv number, trying to figure out how i could transfer back the number to GV, make a pause to fi (as i still have payments for my phone) and open an Altice line that will transfer to my GV number.

so i assume i need 3 numbers ..  if someone knows how to do it, or what is the best way i will rally appreciate!

I'm hoping spectrum lowers their mobile service price to compete.
I'm not who you think I am.

One would think a universal phone that should work with all carriers should work with their service.

Though if they would get one of the new Nokia KaiOS based phones I would get it in heartbeat (as long as it can be "kosherized").
