What mobile phone network do you have...
May 25, 2020, 9:19 PM
|
|
and why? I have Verizon, but want to switch. They are too expensive. I don't really want to change phones, but visible.com and Spectrum would require switch.

You pay for what you get. I have had Sprint, ATT and Verizon. Verizon is so far above the competition. It’s not even close.
ATT was ok, but their hotspot is shotty.
I can remember the best cell service I ever had and that was Alltel. I was living in Eastern NC and Raleigh and Alltel was so fast, even in those days and the BlackBerry was free with a contract. Miss that blackberry keyboard and scroll on the left side. #### a BB Curve. Those predecessors were the bomb.

This is true. Verizon and AT&T are expensive for a reason

There is no reason at all to go with Sprint. Network is very shoddy and after your 1st year discounts are up, you're paying close to AT&T prices. You can't even browse the internet while on a phone call with them, which is terrible. T-Mobile is probably the best value and with their acquisition of Sprint, I'd have to assume they won't be a budget service for too long.

I had Sprint when it was free for a year.

That was pretty cool. It was fairly decent coverage, but it was almost free (taxes were like $5/month), and work gives me $75/month to pay for my phone, so it was more than free.

Same service, but $45 for one line instead of $95. They also just increased to 35 GB bc of virus

Switched to Verizon from sprint
May 26, 2020, 8:47 AM
|

Sprint was not good coverage
Verizon is much better
I tried to get a different plan from Sprint, they had me on the most expensive, and the sales guy just repeatedly told me I was on the best plan. I said cancel it and went to the other side of the parking lot and signed up with Verizon, haven’t looked back since

#### att across the board.
work pays for my phone so I'm switching to verizon once I can figure out how to time it with the rest of the family

They looked at all the plans and phones and offered the best deal by keeping Verizon
2 iPhones and the unlimited service was less than our contract with the old phones paid off. Now that these phones are paid for its real cheap. Comparatively

AT&T, it's fine, expensive, but never have had an issue.

On legacy unlimited data plan, they slow down my internet at 22GB which is annoying - but I haven't come close to that with this quarantine...

T-mobile...4 lines unlimited and a tablet plan for $150
May 26, 2020, 9:27 AM
|

Free Netflix included too so I guess knock off another $10-12 off that effective price.
Those Visible deals do look strong but they have no Canada or Mexico roaming and I hit one of those two a couple times a year.
Verizon network is no doubt better than T-mobile but now that I’m not traveling all over the US on the reg it hasn’t been an issue.

I have Metro PCS. They give me unlimited everything for 40 bucks per month. Am I missing out on something?

Yeah, visible would knock that to $25

Provided you have another person on the plan (doesn’t even have to be a family member or in the same house......you could maybe dangle that in front of your “friend” who wanted a sugar daddy.

I got drunk and was mean to her recently when she was hitting me up for cash etc. I think I have burned that bridge. No amazing Metro PCS phone plan for her. She probably has 5 phones anyway.
