You can sign up for sprint now and bring your own phone. It is $25 /month for unlimited internet. SO you can use 100gbs of LTE and it's $25/month.

Sprint is worse than TMO and USC here. Worst of them by far.

Wifi calling makes your plan already worse than any carrier. It's shoddy and uses literally Sprint and Tmobile so Sprint is part of it.

Mint Mobile is cheaper than your plan without shoddy wifi BS and is 8gbs for $20 month so cheaper, more data and no BS wifi

I have no issues. Super strong signal with US Cellular and even TMO is 4-5 bars when I'm out. I have no complaints at all there.


And if we're going features, as I work from home at a desk on my PC, being able to answer and make calls as well as texts from my pc with Fi is massively important.

Spectrum wireless is 1gb of data and $15/month on Verizon towers no wifi BS.

Eh 1GB is too little I like the 2GB and just get the money back for what I don't use. The real killer feature for Fi no one else does.

Yeah but my signal is strong so I don't use wifi calling. Wifi calling on Fi is only if your signal is weak as an alternative. I don't even think I have it turned on I'm pretty sure.

If I was unhappy with Fi I'd probably go Spectrum.

I switched from AT&T to Fi because I, too, was fed up with AT&T. But if you're fed up because of poor cell service, Fi probably isn't the answer.

Total Wireless. 58 bucks. thats 3.8 GB worth of data on Fi. I routinely was around 2GB and every so often well above that when i was working in the field. so this makes sense to me not HAVING to worry about being on Wifi.

Switched from Fi to AT&T and it's much better other than:

Customer Service (rarely needed, but obviously a pain)
International coverage (ATT just more expensive to get the same thing)

But I was dropping at least a call a day on Fi due to network switching and when it happened I'd be without email/internet for a couple of minutes while it got itself settled. It got really old.

i didnt have bad call drops but i did have los of data due to the switching. and yes gets old to not have service when you want to look something up.


as far as international, next time i travel out im just going to get a fi account for the time im out of the country.
