Posted August 25, 2021 I used to have Cricket, but about a year ago my family switched to AT&T. It's a lot better as you get priority, while Cricket heavily throttles even their "high speed" data. We initially switched to MetroPCS due to their Prime+Google One deal, similar pricing to Cricket, and better priority policy. However, they destroyed my father's phone and did nothing about it, so we left them for AT&T. Main PC: Ryzen 1600 @4GHz, 16GB 2933 MHz DDR4, 1060 6GB blower card. Laptop: ThinkPad T580 (i5, iGPU, FHD, 16GB RAM, 256 SSD+1TB HDD). Used with both the regular and extended-run batteries (RIP power bridge).

Posted August 25, 2021 bro what in Latvia unlimited data and texts/calls for like 30 euro a month. Also the plan includes 8GB of data in whole of Europe per month!

Posted August 25, 2021 In Canada, I'm with Bell Mobility. Their prices are somewhat higher than other providers, but they have an unlimited calling to and from the US, which I need. I also have a US phone that is with Ting Mobile. The charge me an average of $12 USD for having the number. I need the US number because the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs won't allow the VA hospital to call US Veterans living in Canada. So the hospital calls me on my US number and I call them back on with my Canadian phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 25, 2021 1 hour ago, Velcade said: I had Verizon for 19 years. Switched last year to XFinity Mobile since they use the Verizon towers. It's cut my monthly bill in half and I haven't noticed any change in service. All-in-all happy with the switch and it's saving me $684 a year over Verizon. I know you mentioned no change, but have you ever experienced any throttling on Xfinity? I've been considering the same switch, but am slightly apprehensive.

Posted August 25, 2021 Not in the US. I have Lucky Mobile. Which is a pre-paid cellphone service. I bought my own unlocked device (Samsung A52 4G) for $466 on Amazon at the start of the year. With my plan, I get : -100 minutes of call time (which I never use), -unlimited texting and -250MB of Data (which I almost never use, got wifi everywhere I go) All that for the low price of $15 CAD before tax. It's not a "great" plan when you consider how some countries have dirt cheap data plans, but in Canada? It's one of the cheapest and "best" basic plan you can get for the price if you never need to call anybody and only need a small amount of data "just in case". I do wish there was a bit more call time though, but eh, can do with it. I got a VOIP phone that cost me $0/mth through FreePhoneLine (one time fee VOIP unlock key+my own SIP), so it's not like I need the call time (paid about $150 in total to get started, It basically paid for itself 10 fold in the last 5 years considering I used to pay $20 for a stupid home phone). If I consider what I paid for the phone and what I'm paying for my plan, it's about $35 per month if I keep it for two years. Not bad all things considered, about a dollar a day. I do plan to keep using it for at least 3 years, if not more, though. Unless something terrible happens to it. For Home Internet I have Fizz. I pay $38 CAD before tax for 30/10 connection (they've raised their prices a bit, but my plan is grandfathered in, no price hike for me). Their modem/router combo is junk and I lost wifi connection more than once, requiring a reboot of the modem. Other than that, it's basically running off Videotron's network, which is a hell of a lot more stable than Bell's and no throttling.

Posted August 25, 2021 UK. £10 ($13.74) monthly rolling sim. 10 GiG, Unlimited calls and Texts. Giffgaff. It's not the absolute cheapest but it allows you do literally anything without having to talk to a customer service rep or asshole service. Need to change my number? Do it online. Run out of data on my package? Just bring the next month forward. Plus they randomly dump data onto me when I rarely reach my limit (on holiday for example) so I haven't had to bring my rolling plan forward for years. If I want unlimited data un-throttled it's £35 ($48.08), throttled it's £25 ($34.34). I buy my phones outright so they're not loaded with bloatware, spyware or locked into provider designated OS's (delayed updates). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you hit that cap your data rates are reduced. I hover around 12GB per month.

Posted August 25, 2021 3 hours ago, pythonmegapixel said: Missed a decimal point? Or do you really pay almost $60 a month? With my current provider in the UK, if I wanted unlimited calling, texts and 5G data it would be the equivalent of about $40, and I know that's not even the cheapest available deal. I knew the US was a bit more expensive, but I didn't think it was that much. US carriers have to build and maintain a network that is 50x larger than the ones in the UK, that's why there's a difference in price. You have to remember that your entire country can fit into ONE of our states (out of 50) and even then it still only occupies about 50% of the volume of Texas: You can get MVNOs in the US with unlimited data for around $40 but you lose a bunch of features and get deprioritized data.

Awesome, thanks. I doubt I'd ever use 20GB. And if I did, a throttled rate would be waaaay better than my 5GB of don't-ever-watch-youtube-at-higher-than-480p data.

Posted August 25, 2021 Verizon and ATT are two cell services that need to just die. Both way overpriced and with bad Customer Service reputations. I know this is my opinion but from personal experience both personal and business, dealing with these companies is a headache and waste of money.

Posted August 26, 2021 Ive been with T Mobile for about 5 ish years now. Came over from Sprint and that was the best decision made. At the time T Mobile was the cheapest. I have the 4 lines for $100 Family choice plan. Its no longer offered, but still cheaper than going to one of the magenta plans. I pay about $150 a month, thats for 3 lines, as right now, before someone asks why its so much, that also includes insurance on all lines, with iPhones you pay a bit more for insurance.
