This could have been a 2-hour episode. A lot of great questions raised and observations that will impact national retail, branded stores, and independent stores. #prepaidwireless #prepaidphones #prepaidnews

That awkward moment when you make a big announcement to reveal that you’re still behind T-Mobile in 5G.
With all trade shows (even @CES) taking a hit these last couple of years, a good turnout at this show will be a be a true testament of the independent wireless industry.
It will be interesting to see how these programs sustain growth in the face of staggering demand for low-end handsets (plus, a world-wide chip shortage). #wireless #prepaid #acp #affordableconnectivityprogram #ebb
Replying to @FCC
A household is eligible for Affordable Connectivity Program if a member of that household has an income that is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level; is enrolled in SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC or Lifeline. Details: fcc.gov/ACP.

Also, TracFone customers will be able to keep their current device. We will communicate with such customers and you do not need to worry about being surprised. For more information about the acquisition, you can visit our website at trfn.ly/6015Zgebf. ^FA

Interesting question brought up here. Does @Verizon's handling of @Visible hint at their strategy for the @Tracfone acquisition? #prepaidwireless #prepaidnews

Survival in the #MVNO world is becoming increasingly difficult. It shows the importance of audience, increased brand awareness, and ability to retain customers. Brand is becoming the great differentiator across the category. #prepaidwireless #prepaidphones #prepaidnews
Another MVNO bites the dust, per new Wave7 Research prepaid report. It's EasyGo, which made a name for itself with affordable int'l talk and text. EasyGo customers are being referred to @H2OWireless, a sister company under Telrite. H2O is doing well, per our new dealer survey.

"The #prepaid customer is arguably the most in-need of this kind of service to accommodate limited cash flow. However, as is typically the case, there are concerns of the lower income users and the “payment deferred” customer might not get a fair shake." prepaid.news/2022/01/03/new-…
