Visual Voicemail S26 Ultra on Light Speed

Hi there!

I just set up service with US Mobile today (on Light Speed) and I'm having some issues with visual voicemail on my unlocked S26 Ultra. I was able to set up basic voicemail but I'm not seeing the option for visual voicemail in the native Phone app. When I click Voicemail under the three-dot menu, it dials the basic voicemail.

I tried downloading the Google Phone app but am seeing the message "This carrier may not support visual voicemail" under the toggle.

Is there a way I can use the native visual voicemail function or do I have to use a one of the T-Mobile apps on the Play Store?

S26U RAM — 12 vs. 16 GB

I recently picked up a 512/12 GB S26 Ultra but have been feeling a little FOMO for not getting the 1TB/16 GB for the extra RAM. Thing is, this is a secondary device mostly for personal and business use, so I'm not really gonna be hardcore gaming, using DeX, or anything too intensive like that. Most I'll be doing is content creation, taking photos/videos with light editing, multitasking, and some social media. I usually keep devices for ~2 years before upgrading again.

What use cases would benefit most from the extra RAM? In the end, I think there's diminishing returns getting the 1TB configuration if I'm not really in the target demographic (plus it's an extra ~$300 in the US), so really I'm just talking myself out of it, but just want to hear others' thoughts!

Wanted to get some thoughts: my attendings very rarely use intubating airways (Williams, Ovassapian) when doing FOIs. How often are you using them in your practice — always, never? There are times when visualization of the glottis is difficult because of a big tongue or redundant tissue; I wonder if these airways would help in those cases, other than trying to pull the tongue out of the way, proper positioning, etc.

Hey guys! I'm in need of a second phone. Already have a 17 Pro Max as my business device but would like to get an Android as a secondary/personal one. In the US and would be on the T-Mobile network.

I've mainly been debating between the OnePlus 15 and the S26 Ultra. I use the iPhone to take pictures/videos so not really in need of the best camera. AI features would be nice, but not a requirement. At the moment not really planning on getting any smartwatches or other accessories.

I was leaning towards the OP15, which would be a new experience for me because I've had Samsung devices in the past, but I've been a little worried about what I've been hearing about OnePlus pulling out of some markets and how it might affect support/warranty/repair for the device (in the US at least).

Any recs or thoughts are appreciated!
