Cell Phone Providers

I have AT&T (personal phone) and Verizon (company phone) and AT&T by a long shot.

I hope this doesn't set a precedent for other carriers to follow suit.

I have AT&T and I'm grandfathered in on "unlimited" data but get throttled back if I go over 4GB.

Have had Verizon since I got married 4 years ago, but planning to switch back to AT&T next year.

I get a discount through my company and AT&T has better customer service than Verizon, IMO.

straight Talk

Appreciate the responses. I think AT&T seems like the best option. We almost switched back when they were getting rid of unlimited data before they started grandfathering people.

Go to root metrics and see how the coverage is in the area you will be using your phone. Only way to even consider a cell phone provider. Absolutely stupid to go with a carrier without first seeing what kind of speeds you will get where ever you will mostly need service.

I travel too much to know what I'd need. Where we live, any of the bigger providers have great coverage. I did go look at it though, and AT&T looks solid. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you travel much, I think I would stick with Verizon.

Phones aren't allowed in most places that I work. Verizon is definitely off the table.

i'll go against the grain and say that i like sprint fine and they have never done anything to make we want to leave.

i pay less than anybody i know, i never have trouble in 90% of the places i go and then of the 10% that i do, most others do as well.

Sprint does really well here, and is, as you say, much cheaper. They had a promo that ended last month where if you had DirecTV they'd give you a year's worth of service for free so my wife signed up. We bought a Galaxy SIII outright for $99 and now pay $7 in taxes per month for unlimited everything Should work for a year at least.

If you weren't tied to data and wanted something that you could save a ton of money on, I would suggest Republic Wireless. That's what I have, and it leverages wifi networks. I paid $180 for a phone on ebay that's fine (original Moto X), but my bill (granted, doesn't include any data) is $10/month. Just some huge savings out there if you're willing to compromise. Great cell service, but if you use a lot of cellular data they're not the best option out there.
