How much do you pay out of interest? I presume this is with VZW?

VZW prepaid - through a Walmart purchased SIM - was recently offering 12GB for $70 and 7GB for $50. That's really very good value IMO. VZW prepaid comes with VoLTE/WiFi and superb coverage.

Actually, it's not too bad. Just checked it. $112. Thought it was nearer 150. Gone down because I now get my phone through Apple. It's due to go down a gain, as we don't use anywhere near the 12gb of data we used to know I've got the home wifi sorted. Also get a discount through Fidelity.

Sounds like you're overpaying, frankly...

Re: Best mobile phone provider
 

That's for 2 lines.

Re: Best mobile phone provider
 

Ah. Minor detail ;)

That's not bad then. Still cheaper on prepaid (potentially!).

Re: Best mobile phone provider
 

I pay $30 pre-pay for T-Mobile's 5 GB LTE, 100 minutes and unlimited text plan. T-Mobile's coverage is great around the big cities, and it's rural coverage has definitely been getting better over the years, although it's still lacking in many areas. I find that it tends to be quite state-specific. Missouri, for example, has terrible T-Mobile coverage outside of many of the big cities, but it's not so bad in California.

One potentially large benefit of T-Mobile is it's BingeOn service, whereby cellular data to/from certain streaming services (e.g. Spotify, Google Play Music, Apple Music, Vimeo, YouTube, Hulu, etc) is "zero-rated" (i.e. free). I am a fairly active user of Google Play Music and YouTube and regularly use more than my 5 GB LTE data cap with streaming from just those two services, so the BingeOn service is a great perk for me. :)

The excellent $30 plan you are on is now deprecated unfortunately.

Re: Best mobile phone provider
 

disapproved of? :confused:

Re: Best mobile phone provider
 

yeah, I know I have been on this plan for 3 years or so.. I just added a new line to it for $0!! So that's 4 lines with 1gb each (plenty for me and the kids since most of our use is wifi and they are at school most of the day and then the binge on thing), 1 line has unlimited international calling and texting and all for $145.

If you sign up with comcast you get access to loads of hotspots, this can also reduce your data usage.

**** Comcast. Don't give them your business unless you absolutely have to.

I prefer two tin cans with a long piece of string between them. ;)

Re: Best mobile phone provider
 

That's the service provided by Frontier.

Re: Best mobile phone provider
 

Are there any websites comparable to uSwitch or MoneySupermarket or the like that allow one to compare cell providers?? Or TV/internet too, but I realize I'm getting off-topic from the OP.
