To clarify again, the doctor doesn’t FILL the prescription he sends it to the pharmacy. I don’t think any GP has controlled meds like that on hand.

And I expect seeing a psych for BPD is absolutely normal. I would not expect my GP to treat that.

Mint’s fine, and more importantly, it’s cheap. I work at MSU and sometimes lose signal at work. I also sometimes lose signal at home. It’s fairly rare, but it never happened on Verizon. However, I’m not paying $50+ per month anymore. If you’re not planning on being in the sticks for any reasonable amount of time I’d call it an upgrade.

Are you serious? My cox physician sent me to eustasis and said he could not fill it. They are the one's who tried to convince me I needed to see eustasis for bi polar too. Thank you for letting me know about this, I'm pretty mad now

I haven't used Mint, but I recommend looking at Red Pocket if you want something more affordable. They have a range of annual prepaid plans from $30 to $360/year, and with most plans, you can choose your network. So, bring your own device, choose the network that you prefer, and choose the plan that works best for you. I've been with them for years.

As an alternative, we have had cricket for six years now. I buy my own phones and we get two unlimited lines for around 85 bucks.

If you buy a phone from them, you have to keep it on the service for six months before you could transfer it.

Used it for years around here. Only bad experience was when I transferred my number out to Google Fi. I lost 6 months of prepaid service I was hoping to have another number assigned to.

My husband gets his ADHD treatment through his regular physician (Mercy) and fills the prescription at Walgreens. No specialist required.

Visible is the move.

Anyone else scream "stop!' and hide to get the guy to stop and look around confused lol

Mint Mobile works exceptionally in the local metro area. The only issue I have is issues with my phone specially due to the Pixel 6 having a ton of random issues. I sometimes have to download a new esim because my service just stops working without warning.

As always when you go the prepaid route be prepared to troubleshoot your own issues because calling up the company is a pain in the ass.

There was literally a huge accident on JR today. They shut down that entire side of tye freeway and detour from the previous exit

Just don't go to Nebraska or be outside of any major city out west

We, us, kids, parents all use mint. It has worked fine for us. Our daughter lives north of town on Ashcroft Estates and we don’t have a good signal but as long as you have Wi-Fi you’re good. If you wanted to keep Verizon but cheaper look at Visible

I'm not on Mint Mobile specifically, but we're on Google Fi, which uses the same T-Mobile towers that Mint does, as well as US Cellular towers. It's been great. My wife and I are in rural areas a lot because we're the only ones of our families to convert to city folk, and the only area we've had service issues is this one stretch of a dirt road south of Joplin. Otherwise, it's been flawless, in town and out.

That said, if you're sticking to a network using only T-Mobile towers, we were on them until ~5 years ago, and the rural connection was pretty spotty. The US Cellular towers bring included in Fi helps immensely rurally. I'm not sure how T-Mo is now, but their buyout of Sprint should help, Sprint used to have a good rural connection here.

I saw the camera operator getting B roll from the sidewalk on Friday...Was wondering about that.

What was the fundraiser for?

Thank you for the responses. Its been a great help.

Never had a dropped call in town, unless I was in an elevator or something. Once you get further out into the sticks, you'll have trouble getting 4g and such, but I've still been able to send texts and make calls most places we go, for example Stockton Lake, Eureka Springs, Busiek, SE Kansas.

Mint runs on T-Mobile, generally T-Mobile works good enough in the Springfield area but the indoor coverage is iffy compared to Verizon or AT&T here due to less overall towers. If you’re planning on going to the boonies as well you probably won’t like Mint/T-Mobile related service.

How is your experience with the T Mobile network? Do you have any dropped calls?

I have Mint. It runs on the T-Mobile network. I'll never go back to one of the big providers. $15/month for the same service I got on T-Mobile. Just look up your average usage before committing to a plan, I realized mine was only around 6 gigs and have been able to cut back even more.

I used straight talk for years until they banned me from the service after I experienced a SIM swapping scam . I pleaded with their customer service and told them what was happening but they would not listen. I basically had to restart my life with a new phone number I had for years and update everything.

I got mint mobile. I purchased the SIM and service from best buy and so far so good. No complaints or loss of service, no disconnects or anything.

You are a fantastic dad. Keep it up. Also, if you aren't yet, everybody at /r/daddit would love to have you.
