How to get visual voicemail activated on iphone 13 after upgrading?

Hello I have a dilemma.I recently purchased an iphone 13 from iphone 6 and swapped out the sim card.Voicemail was not enabled on my phone/sim card so I enabled it which was a whole ordeal in itself. And sent a couple of test voicemails. Which I was able to play but the visual voicemail feature does not seem  to be there. I then follow the dozens of other articles people have with similar issues. From reset network settings to clock settings to siri settings. None seemed to allow me to see visual voicemails.I tried contacting cricket wireless support twice now and they were wholly unsuccessful in getting my issue resolved.And the representative at the store couldn’t help. It also doesn’t help matters that the feature is baked in so I have no clear confirmation about the issue other than to soft-test it. Please someone tell me how to enable this seemingly basic feature on my phone.

Moving phone number to a phone I already own

So one of the phones on our plan is about at end of life, it's very difficult to charge and getting a bit slow.We own another phone that is not in use that is newer (there's a longer story behind it) and we're considering moving the line to that phone so we can get rid of the current one.Is this something that can be accomplished online thru the website, or would this require a visit to the store?  I'm guessing I just need a new SIM card for the "new" phone, but not sure if it's considered an upgrade or just a transfer.Thank you.

Dream 5G data issues

My girlfriend recently upgraded her phone to the dream 5g and it has been working great for the last month plus, now couple days ago all of a sudden her data won't connect. We have restarted the phone, tuned data off and on, reset all the data settings, called customer support and ran through thier troubleshooting steps and the best we can get is for it to work for a couple minutes and go right back to nothing, on the $60 max unlimited plan and just started our billing cycle. Customer support said take it in to a store, when we called the local store only thing they could do is swap the Sim card which we plan on doing my next day off, im thinking this may be a shot in the dark but is this an issue anyone else has had? And if so how was it fixed. My Samsung A52 5g works just fine right next to it, same plan as hers. Trying to avoid a full on hard reset of th3 phone..

Using many apps, top portion of screen goes black

I now have two screenshots of this irritating feature I can't seem to figure out how to disable. I'm using a pretty new LG Fortune 3, running Android version 10.What happens is, I'll be using some app, maybe scrolling or otherwise interacting with it, when suddenly, my app is pulled down to the lower 3/4, 2/3, or lower 1/2 of the screen, leaving the upper portion of the screen as black, with small print saying "tap here to go to full screen."What is this "feature" called, and how do I disable it? Thank you.

kicked off cricket. customer service is a joke. c

I took my sim card from my one plus 7 pro which worked perfectly fine for over a year on cricket and put it in another one plus 7 pro (exact same phone). Now cricket says this phone is not compatible with the network and is trying to sell me a different phone. Been a customer for over 5 years and this is the thanks you get. Stay away from cricket. I'll be outside the store all weekend telling people about how horrible this company and to run away.

Slow data on iphone XR

Ever since I upgraded to the iPhone XR a couple months ago, my service has been extremely slow. I live in the same area still, so that is not the issue. Sometimes I am unable to do anything online without WiFi, even if my phone is showing I have 2-3 bars of LTE. Anyone else having service issues?

Little to no cell service & 5G

My phone is a Galaxy A53 5G.  About mid-May, I had horrible cell signal, and little to no 5g.  After about a week, it got a little bit better, but never what it used to be.  I deliver a mail route and use my phone a lot to listen to podcasts as well as be able to contact my family and/or boss.  Since the end of May, I have almost no cell service or 5g on my mail route when I had almost complete coverage thru the whole thing. I finally got sick of the no service and switched back to my old phone, which I had originally replaced because I had shattered the screen.  With my old phone (K92 5G model # LM-K920Am), it has the cell service and 5G that I used to have. I went into a Cricket store last week, and the employee said it sounds like an antenna problem. Can this problem be fixed?

Upgrade question - How much memory does the phone come with

I was thinking about upgrading my phone to one that has more internal memory since between Android 6.0 (two versions behind) with all its junk apps and all the junk apps that Samsung put on the phone take nearly all of the internal memory of the current phone I own leaving me less than 1GB for apps I would like to have on the phone, Well, in any case, I was thinking about upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy Amp Prime 3. On the specifications page for the phone it states "Up to 16 GB internal storage". Does that mean it comes with 16Gb of memory (minus that used by Android and Samsung) or that somewhere one has to specify how much memory one wants when ordering.Thanks for any response. :-)

Hotspot with Firewall

I have been running the best little app ever, NOROOTfirewall on my tab S7 & added it to this phone. However, with my "new" S21,  hotspot only worked once or twice. After going thru support with no results, I noticed that if this app is turned on, no hotspot. Turn off firewall, hotspot is fine. I hope this helps some of you.Ron

yahoo mail app issue

Hi Folks,Recently purchased a Moto e5 Cruise.  Trying to install Yahoo mail app and it won't work.  By that I mean I download & install the app.  Open the app, at the prompt I enter email address for my existing Yahoo account.  I press the "next" button and nothing happens.  It is supposed to go to an enter password screen but it just stays at the user name prompt.  The button flashes briefly then just stays same page.  I have deleted the app and reinstalled it several times.  Tried all reasonable variations of my user name (w/out @, etc), looked all over the web, nada. Any ideas here?  Gmail works fine as do all other apps and features.  I am stumped.

5G on Galaxy A23

Just activated my Galaxy A23.  I'd like to disable 5g use.  There doesn't seem to be any way of doing this.  Also.. is there a way to determine what type of network I'm currently using?  Thanks.

Turbo2 mobile hotspot and icloud email issue

I was having issues connecting to my icloud email while using Outlook. Off my 5 email accounts, 4 worked, but the icloud on did not when I was using the mobile hot spot. After speaking with customer service for quite a while, there was still no solution. However, long story short, after fumbling around, I did end up solving the problem. I logged onto the device user interface online (hotspot.webui) and under the security option, clicked to allow email (Initially, only http and https were clicked to allow). That seemed to do the trick.

phone protection

I tried adding protection when I bought my phone online. After I got my phone and started activating it I find out they never added it. There just the money to my account. So after calling customer service they told me I had to go to my local cricket. Well they tell me they can't add it. Yes I tried to get it before my 7 days was up.
