I have Verizon. It's fine. It's expensive but there were a few features I HAD to have because of where I lived. Large high-speed hotspot allowances abd just being able to connect with decent speed was a must.
I'm probably going to save some money soon (I'm on a waiting list for 5G home Internet) by going with Mint or Total once I finally have decent home Internet.
But I'll vouch for Verizon. Everything always works. Customer service has been okay. It's just expensive.
I've had T-mo for so long I'm on a weird old plan that used to be "Blackberry as a Modem" - it's cheap and I appreciate that I can just stick the SIM card in whatever I want without issue. As long as I don't do something stupid like torrent on it, they generally don't care. Want to stream music 24/7/365? Yeah, no issues.
If you're looking for a cheap cheap plan, I use Tello for M2M stuff. You can get a pretty decent plan for $20 and under if you're not a heavy data user. I pay $5 a month for an unlimited SMS plan for my network machines.
Good looking out. Mint uses I think both Verizon and T-Mo towers and is priced at $15/month for unlimited with I think slowdowns at 40GB mobile and after 5GB hotspot. That's really good.
I've upgraded my iPhone and Android by using what Total by Verizon offers. They unlock their phones 60 days after activation. You can get a really good phone really cheap and pay for only one month of cheap service. Wait another 30 days and the iPhone will unlock automatically and an Android you can follow the steps that are pretty easy after they text you to tell you the phone is now eligible to be unlocked.
Most other prepaid have you waiting a year with ACTIVE service. Too good to pass up.
That is pretty good. Only thing I have against T-Mo MVNOs are they get de-prioritized in favor of postpaid customers. Other than that, they're great.
