1. I have a love hate relationship with verizon

runs a hair under $50/mo for unlimited data on phone plus works in Mexico and Canada (was just in Mexico last week and it does indeed work there). they do have the best coverage in the US and since I am in a rural area with generally shitty signal it has always worked here. they have lots of big corporate irritations but signal is good and I have been with them for decades.

2. I'm a novice smart phone user but I went from ATT to Consumer Cellular

which uses the ATT network in my area and the service is much better than I had with ATT - I guess it is the phone itself? But ATT raised my rate recently and now CC cellular is half the price I was paying for for two phones.

3. Mint Mobile, I pay $240 for the year and it uses t-mobile's network

5. I switched from T-Mobile to Mint

And I love it. $25. A month for 5 GB and I have not noticed any difference from T-Mobile service other than it did not come with a scam blocker and that was easily downloaded for free.. I switched from the more expensive totally unlimited plan after the first two months because they let me know I had not been using enough data to justify the plan! They saved me a lot of money every month. I highly recommend them!

4. If you can handle selve serve, Visible, owned by Verizon, is great

They have a $25/month unlimited plan. If you are just switching your existing phone over, they will either mail you a Sim card, or if you have a newer cellphone, it probably has an e-sim and you can do it all online.
Visible is owned by Verizon and uses the Verizon network.

6. I've used Boost Mobile for the last 3 years.

$25/month. I’m not a gamer. Use the phone for texts, calls and internet. I have an old iPhone S. It works great for me. I’m n SW Florida.

7. We switched from AT&T to T-Mobile because AT&T got too expensive

Our price at T-Mobile has hot gone up…yet. Netflix was included with our price and I’ve read that Netflix prices have increased.

If you fly a lot, an additional advantage of T-Mobile was free WiFi on the plane

8. I've been happy with TracFone for a lot of years.

It costs less than $120 a year. Something about the last phone I bought seems to have gotten me unlimited talk and text as well, and the phone only cost $100. It's not the latest fancy thing and it's not 5g, but it does have 3/4 of a terabyte of memory with an added SD card, and it serves my needs beautifully. Even when I did not get unlimited talk and text, I could always buy more texts, I forget how many, for 10 bucks. I still don't get unlimited data, but I can buy three gig for 10 bucks, and a gig comes with refill card that I buy every year. Now if it's just some kind of fluke that I wound up with unlimited talk and text, and you get a yearly card where all three are limited, it might not work if you use your phone a lot for talk, text, and data. I don't. To me it's more like a small computer that also allows me to communicate with friends, family, and businesses, if necessary.
