Tripltek Cricketwireless Data Only Plan.... NOOoooo... or maybe....

[Kayak Rob]

I have ATT hotspot and Verizon as previously mention on the board here.
And have tested those sims in the Tripltek and no problems.

I thought I would give Cricketwireless data only a try.
Went through all the "hoops" explaining to them to set it up as a Samsung Note 20...
got an Samsung IMEI from Tripltek.
That was early August.
Been a week or so since I started the Tripltek...
And today got bounced off the network repeated with "Not compatible device..."
Hours on the phone with Cricket... reactivate the account numerous times..
take the sim out.. you know the routine.

Finally Cricket tells me the Samsung Note 20... as a phone
is not eligible as a device to work with their data only plan.

But all the time I would get these messages...
"Not compatible device. A compatible HD Voice device is required.
To avoid service interruptioins .... blah blah blah....."

Even though I signed up for data only.

Don't really know with Cricket if data only is not
compatible with Samsung Note 20 IMEI .
Don't know if a "tablet" data only device IMEI would work...

The last support person kept trying to up sell me plans as a phone,
and or buy a hotspot. They said only their hotspots would work.
Yet their website and plan is for "bring your own device."

The data speeds with Cricket at best were 8mbps... usually around 1.5mbps.

It was really just a test with Cricket data only... at $35 20gb... too expensive for
what you get. I'll just use my phone's hotspot to fly.

If you got Cricket to work data only with the Tripltek... chime in !
Otherwise stay away from Cricket.

Yea, I had to jump thru some hoops with AT&T getting a sim card to use. I have an extra line that I was NOT using. I had lost a phone and added the line to get a new phone... Anyway, they really didn't want to send me a sim without an imie number.. Finally, they set the sim up as a Samsung s20 and sent me the card. Works marvelously.
Of course the Tripltec is completely worthless outside of being a dedicated screen for flying. It's antiquated os really DRAGS doing anything besides downloading maps, checking UAV forecast, and being a great dedicated scree for live feed while flying. I don't even attempt to download the full video and pic files on that device. I use my real phone, a galaxy Fold 3, if I want to do anything with those files while away from the house and outside of using my PC.

I have seen numerous posts by you stating that the Tripltek is worthless.
You seem to be on a mission to discredit the company.

Your comments are an exact copy on your mission to abuse the company.
On numerous posts.

Stop your rant.... I have seen all your posts,
same ol' same ol'

We buy the Tripltek to fly... and it works well.
Your continuous "rants" you should just sell the Tripltek
and go away to find another option.

You are just trolling Tripltek.....

You're WRONG. I am NOT trolling. I love my Tripltec but to advertise that its a working tablet in every sense of that word is wrong. Its not. Its THE BEST dedicated screen I can have, without a doubt. But dont come over here and try and discredit my opinions on the subject. I can, and WILL continue to stand by my opinion and if anyone asks I will tell them. This IS a forum, right??????

You don't like what I say? Don't gas light me and turn it into something its not. You are 100% wrong and youre welcome to just block me from appearing in your feed but there is NO way im going to submit to a FANBOY. If you can get the Tripltec to perform outside of a screen as an equal to any other tablet then lets see it! Show me. You know its not able to do that. These are facts not an "attack" on the company. You have some issues...

Dont accuse me of trolling. YOU ARE TROLLING ME. STOP IT. Follow your own advice. And at 57 I would expect you to know better than to try and pull that crap on me.

My sincerest apologies dear sir... no I am not trolling you.
You are mistaken as I have no interest in you personally.

I do have interest with the Tripltek and you keep popping up
and I follow Tripltek to resolve any issues.

Best regards on your flying.
