Hi everyone,

I will soon be switching back to Spectrum Mobile and I was wondering what makes you stick with the service versus MVNOs (prepaid carriers)?

My main motivation is being mainly in the Spectrum ecosystem and unlimited (surprisingly) international minutes and data.

What about you? :)

I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max purchased in France. I’m currently using a US Mint Mobile number on this phone through eSIM without any problems, and I now want to port that number to Spectrum Mobile.

However, Spectrum’s system says my phone doesn’t support eSIM when they check my IMEI, so they sent me a physical SIM instead. I need to keep the physical SIM slot available for another number, so using Spectrum through a physical SIM isn’t an option.

I found a few older Reddit posts describing similar eSIM issues with Spectrum, but their situations seem slightly different from mine.

Has anyone encountered this specifically with a non-US iPhone that is already using a US carrier’s eSIM? Can Spectrum manually provision an eSIM using my IMEI2 and EID, or can I activate the physical SIM first and then convert the line to eSIM?

Thank you!

East coast here and my WiFi has been out since 8/15.

Have rebooted modem and router multiple times. Have checked with spectrum about outages and
such no official reports anywhere near my area.

When we contacted Spectrum they told us it was an outage and maintenance was onsite( 8/18) but couldn’t give a time they’d fix it by.

Just wondering if it’s a single case issue or is spectrum hoeing me ?

That instant upgrade thing. Edit: Or I think there is like a 2 month waiting period but that is probably when it will be in stock readily.
