If you have Spectrum for internet, you can use their cell service, which basically piggybacks on Verizon but is much cheaper. 2 lines unlimited (20 gigs each line before possible throttling) and an iPhone XS and XS Plus for $193 a month. The phones are $100 of the bill and that cost goes away after 2 years.


I have been considering this since they started advertising here in DFW lol

There is no other carrier that serves on my block.

Won't have fiber until I move into the house.

I am too, in general. But there are dead spots in their coverage. I can be standing right next to someone. They have service on their ATT phone, I don't have it on ST. Same towers, one works, the other doesn't. It's not a huge deal, and for the price it's worth a little inconvenience. But it happens.

Yep, same exact thing with xfinity, right down to the cost.

We switched to Cricket Wireless.

It’s owned by AT&T and uses both AT&T and Verizon Towers

Unlimited date and text

Only $90 per month

In the same boat. Been with ATT since the beginning. But the service is crap and the cost is insane. Biggest issue is the only plans they offer corporate discounts on are like a 4gb/month plan. None of their unlimited plans qualify.

Verizon works at my house. Att doesn’t. Had a microcell before iPhones went to WiFi calling. But hurricanes are terrible, my phone wouldn’t work for almost a month after the flood. Should’ve switched then.

So 2400 for two phones....and all you got were a couple of iPhones for that...ouch. once you factor in the rest of the price, it's still a better deal in the long run. Just keep using the same phones for 4-5 years.

2 months. They are getting Sprint 5G this year supposedly. I had unlimited data with ATT for years and really didn't use that much data. I like how you are only charged for the actual data used. My bill for Feb. I used 2.245 GB of data and was charged $22.45 for the data. No dropped calls b/c you are always on the best network either Sprint, Tmobile, or US Cellular.

Stay connected to wifi and your bill will be a lot cheaper.
