I assume they're hoping to supplement /prioritize with their wifi Hotspot network

That could be a disaster. I often turn off WiFi on my phone when I am out and about just to avoid their WiFi.

the G7 Play from here

I signed up and tried porting my number from Verizon but had no luck- also not helpful that you can’t talk to a customer service only text/chat available which isn’t really helpful - actually service also isn’t great. Bottom line I went straight back to Verizon.

i agree, I personally would forgo customer service as long as there’s good coverage. I can’t even remember the last time I had to call customer service for an issue with my cell phone.

I have verizon, and if not for the fact that Verizon is the only service that works in my area, I'd be long gone because of their awful customer service.

how did u try porting? The first sign up page asks you to put in your number and it tells you if it’s portable or not. What exactly happened?

I was compatible and signed up got sim card and then tried porting my number but wasn't porting so I contacted customer service who is only available through chat and they weren't helpful so they kept on opening up useless cases to try to get my issue resolved. after wasting too many hours of my time I decided just to cancel so I contacted them again through chat a few times and again wasted hours and still not cancelled but chase is taking care of it for me.

I should've checked up reviews and everyone has this experience especially since there is no customer service
