Where do you get project fi? And is 40 the highest you'll go?
Service is $20. Unlimited calls,texts and also unlimited international calls,even able to use your Google phone in Mexico.
They are also running a special right now.
Switch to their network (no contract) and you can purchase a 16 gb Nexus 5X phone for $199 or the 32 gb model for $245

We got our daughter onto a plan with Cricket, which uses AT&T towers. Similar to Straight Talk, but it was a better deal for us and our situation. Discounts for auto-pay set-up and multiple lines, so we're thinking about getting my husband one as well since his phone through work limits him a bit. So far no problems with coverage or speed. She actually has better coverage in some areas out of town than we do with our Verizon phones.
I like that it's a flat rate (taxes etc included) and there are no "overage" fees. I also like that there are stores everywhere, so if we have problems or questions, we can go into someplace and get help.

Grandfathered into unlimited data at AT&T $74 a month for my iPhone
We have unlimited data grandfathered in on my phone but the SO has 10GB for her plan.
Believe mine comes out to $90 with unlimited, how can I knock off another $15 bucks?

The SO uses about 10GB a month and I used about 20GBs.
This wouldnt be enough. I stream a lot of work blocks spotify and other streaming services.

Usually doesn't have good coverage, that is why the price is right.
No, it's the same as ATT. I have great coverage.

No.
Personal Cell - ATT
Work Cell - Sprint
Tell you from experience, the coverage is getting better but is shaky outside of cities and main highways.

No.
Edit: And Verizon and Sprint.
Depends on what model phone you're using on their network.

just switched a few months ago from Straight Talk to Project Fi.
I commute a lot. How is Google voice and coverage outside?
Have a N5X and N6 that can be used. Just was scared of coverage and losing my ATT unlimited data.

Is it a phone issue radio then?
Edt: The Sprint phone is an iPhone5.

Data is kinda spotty compared to ST for me but i do not need to use mobile data all the time like some do so i take advantage of the cost savings.

10+20= 30
1 Gig to spare
If I only had two devices my bill would be $150

Yeah, was scared about the voice.
Spotty data coverage for me is okay. I mostly just DL my podcast in the morning at home and when they are streamed, even decent data is enough to let it buffer.

Grandfathered into unlimited data at AT&T
Now I am gonna raise hell with AT&T. I was grandfathered in also but I pay about 110 for unlimited everything for 1 phone.
Posted on 5/4/16 at 1:46 pm to Thacian
We have 2 Iphone 6S Plus and 2 Ipads on AT&T.
We have unlimited talk and text and share 15gb of data with rollover.
We pay $165/mo which includes the Next plan on 1 of the phones.
We got one of the phones free for trading in 2 old Iphone 4S's.

i havent had a dropped call yet. Going on 2 full months now
Posted on 5/4/16 at 1:46 pm to Thacian
I had sprint, it was terrible. It did get better over time, but it is nowhere near what ATT is.
I've been on ST for a few months, it's worlds better. Note that the unlimited data is high speed for the first 5GB only. That is just about right for me, so I love it.
