re: What’s your monthly AT&T, Verizon, etc bill?

What’s the catch with Cricket, straight talk, etc? They can’t be that much cheaper and providing the same service can they??

There is no catch.

You just get to sidestep the at&t/Verizon underhanded surprise charges for the purpose of upping profits for shareholders.

Prepay accounts have a bad name because that's where Poor's that had no credit went before the Obama phones. But now the service is just as good because they share they use Verizon/at&t service and they now all share the same towers.

The stigma in the past was prepay for useage. But now you can set it up for auto pay and never have a bill higher than what you agreed on and never be bound to a contract.

It'll always be better to outright buy your phone yourself and not let the carrier charge you for it.
(Price shopping an unlocked Pixel XL on the play store is a great example why)

Btw I'm still laughing at the Libby that down voted my comment about Walton & Johnson/Sean hannity.
