I've stuck with Verizon because it works in the marshes of south louisiana better from what I've seen. Other than that I dont really have much good to say for verizon

Been using Mint Mobile for a few years now. $15/month.

No complaints.

Plus I get an annual Christmas card from Ryan Reynolds.

We use Net10, which runs on the Verizon network. $20 month unlimited talk and text per line. Never had an issue with the signal. Enjoy watching the ATT folks sit infront of our house to make their calls before entering the neighborhood dead zone. We sit and smile knowing we have perfect service on our cheapo plan.

They still get paid, he just has a middle man. Straight talk has the worst customer service ever and will try to keep you by not releasing your number. They "made a mistake" on my wife's account which made it very hard to leave. The new plan's tech said it happens more times than not.

Why would I use a lane line in my car?

Cricket Wireless is the way to go! It's owned by AT&T and uses their technology/cell towers.

$35/month (if you put a card on file for prepay) for 10GB of high speed data. and they just throttle you after that. Only time i've been throttled is when i've watched multiple football games on ESPN's app when not on WiFi.

We've been with Cricket for years. 5 lines for $131/month, tax included. They supposedly slow your line down after 21g but never come close to that as we use wifi at home.

Consumer Cellular is great per several folks I know who use it. Service still provided through Target and/or Walmart I think.

Suggest calling them and determine what phones/equipment they offer.

Mint Mobile


Thanks for suggesting. I pay $100/month for two phones with AT&T with only 2GB of data. I can get double the data and I'd pay less for three months of service with Mint than I do with one month with AT&T.

I'm switching. Did you port your number over? How did that work? Did you have to cancel AT&T?

I use spectrum, 2 phone unlimited everything plus 2g of mobile Hotspot data for $60 plus taxes and fees. The only catch is, you have to have spectrum internet service at your home. It's on Verizon's network and it's been pretty reliable.

Have it in my daughter's unlocked Samsung. T Mobile network, and the sound quality is infinitely better than AT&T

you've got to get on a family group (can be literally anyone, we call pay separate).

With that family group, I pay $25/month.

Edit- its called party pay. Gets you the $25/m deal.

get visible. Same coverage with verizon network for a lot less. It's not the best when you're in super crowded areas but they all do that.
