The test message will be headlined “Presidential Alert” and will go on to read “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” – US mobile phone users will not be able to opt out of the test! Former US president Barack Obama signed a law in 2016 which required FEMA to design a system where the president could send mobile phone alerts in national emergencies. The president has responsibility for deciding when the nationwide alerts are used. FEMA has issued more than 36,000 mobile phone alerts since launching a wireless emergency system in 2012. The messages have varied from alerts about natural disasters and extreme weather to notifications about missing children. Mobile phone users are able to opt out of receiving standard alerts. A presidential directive […]

As a prepaid wireless company, we often get the questions about the difference between mobile data and WiFi. We’ll discuss the distinctions below. After evaluating the pros and cons, you can decide which type of data access is best for your needs. What is Mobile Data? Mobile Data uses your device’s built-in cellular antenna to transmit and receive data through cellular service. This allows smartphones to connect to the internet, even when they aren’t around WiFi internet service. Ok, but what does that actually mean? Mobile data access and experience will depend on several factors:  your cellular coverage, network congestion, and the speed and amount of mobile data available on your plan. If you want to save data on your monthly cell phone plan, there are many […]

You’ve seen the ad and you want what they’re offering – a bright new device at a low, low price. Who could say no? You might if you knew better. No More Contracts? Mobile carriers in the US have recently shied away from using phrases such as “2-year contract” or “long-term commitment.” To the unsuspecting consumer, this may sound like a good deal… However, like many “developments” in the wireless industry, this trend is meant to be misleading. Instead of locking you into a contract for service, many carriers will lock customers in with a lengthy payment plan on the device. This way they still guarantee an ongoing profit. That’s great for business, but are you really getting a better deal? Let’s take a look […]

Best Cellular received an update in response to Wireless Services US (WSUS) Going out of Business from Darrell Vogler.

It will release them automatically with no resolution requirements based on the time submitted. The FCC states that an MVNO has a full day to respond. The system is set to release 3 business hours after received… in order. Each line submitted to port out still has to follow a line by […]
