"Want to save money on your cell phone bill? Dump your carrier"

Let me sum up this article for you: If you have one of the major US carriers, dump them for another carrier that piggy backs off of the major carrier's network. You get the same coverage, but for a lot less.

 

MVNOs can save users a lot of money. One person interviewed by The Wall Street Journal said that switching to Republic Wireless, an MVNO on Sprint, dropped his cellular bill from $90 to $25.

 

So look around. See what MVNO would be best for you, and try them out. If you are going to stick to any major carrier, I'd recommend sticking with or switching over to T-Mobile.

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Too bad only major carriers give a few satellites to their company which makes have bad coverage (like WIND Mobile vs TELUS) in Canada.

G.A.S.P.

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

T-Mobile is what I have, one of the best carriers I've ever used and they have some great prices.
