Currently on Sprint on my parents' account. For years, I've just been paying them my portion of the bill just because it was much cheaper to do it that way. Recently I've been thinking about getting my own plan just because it would be nice to have autonomy over my phones/plans/upgrades etc.

I understand that the consensus is that Verizon offers the best coverage, but I'm not sure if I'd be willing to pay that much, so I'm looking into other options.

For Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile, what are the boards thoughts on their coverage vs cost? Also, I know AT&T will throttle your speeds when you go above a certain data threshold, do other networks do this too?

Part of the reason I was looking around to begin with is that I'm considering upgrading to the Galaxy S10, but it doesn't seem like any carrier really offers any great deals on a new phone when you switch. Does anyone really offer any better upgrade plans than the other? From what I've looked at it kinda seems to be a wash.

I know Sprint has a pretty bad reputation, and its definitely been frustrating at times, so I certainly wouldn't mind switching to a new carrier.

Anyway, TIA for any thoughts or advice.

If you just want unlimited talk/text/data with no extras, look at Verizon or Att’s prepaid plans. They are cheaper than the post paid service.

The budget offerings are good too. I have Cricket (gasp!) and have never had data or service issues. $110 a month all in for two unlimited lines.

Att prepaid on $40:month is 16gbs(included hotspot of up to 16gbs) then slows to 2g after.

I’ve yet to see that much hotspot offered on any other plan in the same stratosphere on price point

Do you travel ? I swapped to full on Verizon (after being prepaid for years) when I essentially just wanted a newer phone...I had a post a while back, but I pretty much traveled with Sprint/Tmobile/Att/Verizon (4phones) in one month..Verizon far and away, followed by Att

I travel occasionally I guess. Seems to be a bit more as of late.

I will likely be bringing my current phone with me wherever I do go, so perhaps that would make the extra cost at Verizon a bit more palatable.

I guess it's between Verizon and At&t

AT&T if you bundle it with internet and DTV. T-mobile if you want free Netflix.
