Even better, I pay exactly $100 per month with Cricket for 5 LINES INCLUDING TAX!!! Cricket is owned by AT&T and uses the same AT&T network. Going from post-paid to pre-paid is going to save you a fortune. An activation fee is pocket change in relation to the amount you pay over time for service.Try cricket. ATT towers and unlimited for $65 a month. Sure it's capped at 8mbps, that plenty fast for mobile
Did you not read the previous comment? Cricket is owned by AT&T. It's not a "small carrier" [sic]. Phones using the Cricket Wireless service connect to AT&T cellular towers.I just can't imagine that very many people would be okay with the small carriers like Cricket. Yes. You save a good bit of money, but you're not getting the same quality product/service. I want fast speeds and good coverage. If smartphones weren't around today, that would be different.
I hope you've complained to the FCC.And yet I can't vote with my wallet because the places where I need strong signal the most is dominated and proven reliable only by Verizon.
So just to be clear: if one buys a new iPhone sim-free, takes the sim out of their old phone, puts it in their old phone, and does all of this without ever entering a Verizon store or calling their customer support... That costs $30?
So glad I'm not with this awful, greedy company.
Edit: replies have indicated they do not charge the fee in the scenario I described, but do if you buy from Verizon. Which strikes me as odd (why are they incentivizing people to NOT buy from them directly?) but not as bad as what I was imagining.
Yes I'm thinking about just going back to prepaid again. This postpaid stuff is just getting way too expensive. $100+ a month for one single line with 6gb of data or whatever, just crazy.
Say huh? Did a side-by-side speed test with my brother's service in Austin. Are you in a major metroplex?I get 60-70 Mbps with T-Mobile I love it! They are pushing for 1gbps by the end of the year.
Yes I am near the city of Phoenix, it will vary I'm sure where you are located.Say huh? Did a side-by-side speed test with my brother's service in Austin. Are you in a major metroplex?
Criminals. Love their service... beginning to loathe their prices. $180 plus fees for 20GB... just saying. If T-Mobile actually reached the 50mbp/s that I get for their $70/month, I'd switch, but Verizon's speed and reliability is awesome.
Le Sigh.
Verizon also recently told clarified its data usage policies for unlimited customers, notifying employees that customers who use over 200GB per month will be forced to move to a tiered data plan.
Just more Bovine feces from the big 4 companies.
Next, they are going to finally eliminate all those grandfathered unlimited data plan.
Why do people still pay money to this company...
And if you say anything about their coverage you're about two years too late unless you legitimately live in an extremely rural area and even then, AT&T exists.
This is what happens when you limit competition! Verizon and ATT continue to increase rates on everything because there is no competition. I am paying double what I paid 5 years ago for the same service, nothing has changed except my bill! Verizon and ATT continue to grow and as they get bigger, we will all pay more!
So how did they force you off your unlimited plan? I've had mine through AT&T for years since they removed it.
