I’ve been using Visible for several months now. $29 per month. Runs on Verizon’s network. I’ve had no issues whatsoever.

Been on Visible for two years. $20 a month for "unlimited". No issues. Keep waiting on the promo price to expire but so far...fingers crossed.

Puretalk here for the last 3+ years. No issues at all $50/month unlimited, but seeing these other prices on here, I might start shopping around.

We use what used to be Total Wireless (now Total by Verizon). It’s good and as advertised.

My daughter uses Visible, also as advertised. We’ll switch to Visible if/when Verizon tries to screw with our plan.

Been with Mint for several years and never had a problem. I'm on the 15 gig plan at $20 a month.

Thinking about ditching Verizon for T-Mobile...

Getting tired of overage fees, and customer service has fallen off a cliff.

20+ lines though...

I just switched from Motorola to a PrimeCo phone.

I also saved 15% by switching to GEICO.

Those of you who have switched, are you mostly in a major city or do you spend time in remote areas?

I’m curious if anyone has used Patriot Mobile. I”m curious about the coverage and the customer service.

I use Cricket (Had to use an AT&T based MVNO because Verizon and T Mobile have horrible coverage at my house) I pay $300 up front for an entire year.

I've been on straight talk for four or five years. No complaints. 55$ a month for unlimited data which in practice is 300GB a month. I've never used more than a hundred.

I made the switch a few years ago and couldn’t be happier.
I’m with T-Mobile connect for $15 a month each line - 2.5 gigs - it’s 3.5 now with auto pay & 12 months on time payments. We buy our phones on our own now. Always on WiFi so don’t use that much data anyways.
We quit the main carriers when the insurance you needed per phone reached 20+ a month. Saving sooo much money now.

I switched to Mint. I like that it works internationally.
