So same coverage, speed, and everything else as ATT on Cricket? I'm at 200 a month for unlimited everything on ATT with 3 lines and tired of being raped with no lube


It's 4g lte, service is usually solid but I get small data drops when in country deadzones. (Moved to new roads)

I stream Walton and Johnson on iHeartRadio and Sean hannity on my trips back and forth and the stream might drop for 5 or 6 seconds just once.

It's cheap and solid enough to warrant trying it for a month using your backup phone.

If you opt to stay, set it up for auto pay and everything is smooth and cheap for paying each month.

For those asking about the coverage difference between TMobile and AT&T, I have noticed absolutely no difference other than my phone says TMobile at the top not AT&T. I would recommend at least calling and asking if they will give you the military deal regardless of your status, worse they can say is no and I didn’t even have to verify my status (although they may be able to see t some other way).

No catch I've seen so far. Got my girlfriend to switch and her daughter (who used 95 gigs last month on Snapchat).

There's no catch. I've been using straight talk for over 6 years and it keeps getting better. I'll never go back to paying att

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.

I don't know. I have a company phone. Unlimited talk and text and we have a company pool for Data. As one of the I.T. guys it is natural that I use a good share of it.
