Let’s chat cell phone plans and carriers

The Question
I know this has been a topic in the past.

Currently we are on Verizon, we love the service it provides but it’s gotten out of hand as far as costs go. We have 3 lines. (1 is a kiddo, bare minimum line) And owe on 1 phone, $300ish that can be paid off whenever but currently sits tied into the monthly bill.

My main concern is service. I’m a busy mom and I need to be in contact. So spotty service is a no go!

Was just approached about switching to xfinity mobile but I don’t know enough about it to want to take a leap!

Budget masters tell me, Who do you use? Pros? Cons?

ANSWER 1
Check your plans. I am currently paying about 160 3 lines with Verizon. I have had to change plans over the years, but my cost has gone down considerably over the 20 years I have had them.


ANSWER 2
Spectrum has a great deal right now if you have their internet. Also uses Verizon towers. Search for MVNO providers who use Verizon towers and you'll come up with a bunch. We are on US Mobile right now and it's going good! $40 for two phones with 5gb of data each phone


ANSWER 3
We had Verizon for over 15 years but lately the prices were killing us, 120.00 for 2 lines and only 2 gigs to share, we were always going over and getting hit with major overage charges. We live in a rural area and a lot of other carriers don't get good service here. I was really nervous about switching since I use my cell for my job too, no land lines, but we switched to Straight Talk and I haven't noticed a difference one time in almost a year. We now pay 35.00/line for 10 gigs each which is more then we ever use!



ANSWER 4
We just switched to xfinity a few months this ago. No issues with service so far. We had tried t Mobil a few years ago and it literally didn’t work in our house. We are just outside of town in the “country” (but not really lo) we also got a $200 Visa card after using xfinity for 60 days
