I was put on hold a few times. Just call back and press option 2.
it is cheaper than T-mobile.
i have a cheap Chinese Alcatel that doesn’t do CDMA, only GSM. But I was happy to switch.
To keep the same number, you have to call T-Mobile and get you account number. Be prepared for a grilling.
I said I was switching because your CEO is an asshole.
Good times.
I finally got through to Patriot Mobile. I found out my phones are not unlocked, so I called T-Mobile to tell them to do so. T-Mobile is a GSM network, but apparently our models of iPhones can do either GSM or CDMA, so once the unlocking is done (48-72 hours), I can switch.
However...I am not sure there is any point in doing so. Patriot Mobile basically runs off the Sprint network (which is why it is CDMA). Sprint is now owned by T-Mobile. It is even speculated that Sprint may switch to GSM now that they are part of T-Mobile. I am starting to think it is probably pointless to "switch" to Patriot when I would still be on T-Mobile's (via Sprint's) network.
