Hey everyone,
I got this code from US Mobile, which should give you your first month of service for free on any of their data-bucket plans (5GB, 12GB, 30GB, etc.)
Code: F48NXACT
This may be limited to the first person to use it.
If you aren't able to use it, you can always use code STETSON for a free SIM kit and $20 of credit.
Enjoy! :)

Wondering where you can get the most money for your old phone?
Here's a detailed comparison spreadsheet of the trade-in values you can get from Swappa, Samsung, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.
What surprised me is that Samsung actually has different trade-in values depending on which device you buy!
For example, the trade-in value for the S20 Plus is $425 when you apply it toward an S22 Ultra, but the value jumps to $440 when you apply it toward a regular S22.

Hi everyone,
I am starting a new video series!
My idea for the series is "13 Things To Know Before You Sign Up."
My goal here is to present the most important information about a cell phone carrier before you sign up for one of their plans.
So now my question for you is this: which carrier would you like me to tackle first?
Let me know by voting below!

Dennis and I went in to Denver to test out how priority levels impact performance on Verizon mmWave.
What did we find?
We found that priority did not appear to have a measurable impact on mmWave.
We tested using Fast.com. We ran a 3 minute test (that used 19.2GB per phone!) to test the performance with simultaneous load in the network.
Peak performance was about 4Gbps.
Each of the four phones got about 870Mbps. So it appears the available capacity was split r...

Hey everyone,
Dennis and I put T-Mobile Home Internet through it's paces on this stream!
We test what the streaming quality is like with no devices connected, and how the stream performs when there are multiple devices connected downloading files and streaming videos.
What do you think of the performance? Is this enough for a YouTube live stream?
Let me know!

Hi everyone,
I just updated the cell phone plan comparison chart. Here are a few key changes:
- Cricket Wireless updated their plans. No more 8Mbps speed cap, and the Cricket Unlimited More plan now has unlimited priority data. It's the new best unlimited data plan you can get at just $55/month.
- I added EarthLink Mobile to the comparison chart. The plans are terrible, but at least they are now included.
- Republic Wireless will likely be switching over to...

Hi everyone,
I've been busy testing Pixel 6 Pro cellular performance over the past few days, and I'm happy to share with you an early look at the results!
Pixel 6 Pro is using a cellular modem by Samsung, the Samsung 5123, which is a break from the usual X60 modem from Qualcomm that we find in the S21 and iPhone 13.
I was interested to see how this Samsung 5123 modem stacked up in cellular performance, so I put it through the paces on T-Mobile mid-band 5G, Verizon mmWa...

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a new video on the best Pixel 6 deals. I wanted to share an early look at what the deals are and how they compare.
I calculated the 2-year total cost on the right column, so you can easily compare the net cost of your Pixel 6 and service on various providers across different promotions.
I'll send a followup post with the link to the spreadsheet with more details :)
Thanks,
Stetson
