Hey everyone! Just a few notes here: 1. I believe CircledIn is working on improving the situation with Verizon plans so the address and alternate contact number are not shared. Please speak with CircledIn to confirm what information may be shared with other group members and that you feel comfortable with how the system will work. 2. CircledIn is currently waiving the $30 to $40 activation fees you normally have to pay when adding a line to Verizon and T-Mobile plans. That's pretty cool! 3. Don't sign up for Verizon Start Unlimited or T-Mobile Essentials. Those plans are deprioritized , so they are not worth it at all. 4. You can leave at any time. You just request to leave from your CircledIn account settings, and CircledIn will provide the account number and PIN you need to successfully port-out your number. Let me know if you have other questions, and I'll do my best to answer them! 🕑 TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 0:45 - How CircledIn Works 2:04 - How to Sign Up for CircledIn 2:16 - How to Create a Group Plan 3:32 - How to Join a Group Plan 4:43 - How Payment Works 6:09 - Existing Customers Transfer Billing Ownership 6:43 - 3 Things to Know About Billing 7:36 - You Get a Personal Customer Success Rep 9:08 - Plan Features & Performance 9:51 - What's the Catch? 10:23 - Verizon Account Roles 10:41 - T-Mobile Account Roles 10:57 - What Are The Privacy Concerns? 13:45 - What I Would Sign Up For

i’ve been with circled in for a while, but recently customer service has been horrible. i requested to port out but they want to charge me $500 so they are refusing to let me port out. also i signed up for their streaming service and i’m getting charged, but am unable to stream Hulu and yet again, they’re unreachable. at this time i just gave up circled in. they have an interesting concept, but if you need help with your service, you have to wait till they open and if they get back to you. hope your service doesn’t act up right before a holiday because you’ll be without it until they open and get back to you (it’s happened to me).

I also was on a family plan on t-mobile with someone from reddit for about two years and that worked out great. Main reason I'm not on that plan now was I eventually was able to convince my actual family to set up an account. My dad is ex military so the plan is a better value than reddit.

Some people say prepaid services like Visible and Mint are too good to be true, but they are actually true. A lot of things are changing in wireless, so don’t be skeptical. Also, Visible has a “party pay” system just like Circledin. The reason why systems like circledin and the prepaid just getting better and better is because people are fed up giving hundreds of dollars to carriers (Verizon is a big culprit of this ridiculous pricing)

I decided to try CircledIn after watching the video. What a horrible experience it has been so far. They had no issues charging me the $5 for the sim card. I received an email on 3/2 that my sim card was sent out and I haven't received anything so far. Any attempt of contacting support has been impossible (multiple emails, chat window on their website etc). I would recommend staying away from them (especially if you're thinking about porting in your main number) until they can improve customer support/service.

Hi all , looking for some quick advice . I have a friend I've recently started handling the cell phone plans for ( not normal for me ) , and they gave me contact info for their Verizon rep . I've been working with him for almost a year now , and I'm constantly having problems getting answers from him on basic things like can he confirm he put insurance on our plans and how do I utilize the insurance after a phone is damaged ? My question to you all is : how do you normally work with Verizon on things like activation problems on new phones and questions on insurance and such ? Do you have a client rep you ask , a special number to call , or how can I get quick and reliable results here ? What is the proper way to request a new client rep ? If I make the request , I want to make sure I don't end up still stuck with the same guy . I've already had a heart to heart with him and needing faster response times , and the quality dropped after that talk .

This can be a security concern. The account holder can transfer your number to a new sim card and that easy they have access to your bank account two-factor codes. As well as codes to get into any of your other accounts of course. So I guess as the owner I would do it since I have tmobile max, but not as a member with two factor codes. Although, you are giving Circle access to add and change lines, so there is a huge trust there as well. This is the "catch" for me personally.

Do you know if as a basic account member you have the permission to activate in person at a local store, or do I need to buy it as "Activate Later" and add the sim later?
