Anyone tried the straight talk thing? My contract with Verizon is coming up and it looks like a good deal
I've done Virgin and T.Mobile prepaid, which are similar. I think Straight talk really throttles your data quickly. T. Mobile and Virgin do, also, but not as bad as Straight Talk.
There's no reason to go on a contract unless you can't afford to pay cash for the phone you want.
my contract with verizon is up soon and I've been looking into switching to t-mobile. it actually it seems like there's no reason to not go with verizon unless you can't afford to pay the higher overall price of the contract. seems like their coverage and speed is far and away bitb and they have all the best phones available. what am I missing?
Rams, I don't spend much time in Lawrence, but in the areas immediately east of you as well as the entire KC metro, Tmobile is a crap shoot. For instance, very often I drop calls in Waldo or Brookside. Also, pretty much anytime I go from tower to tower I drop my call.
Also, dropped calls in general are much more frequent than when I was on Verizon. Tmobile didn't start out this way for me 3-4yrs ago, but has gotten progressively worse since.
I wouldn't recommend. I would spend 10%-20% more to have more reliable coverage. However, it's a work phone so I don't have that choice.
My wife has verizon and very often I have no service where she has full service in the greater KC area. However, I can't think of one time in the last several yrs where the circumstances were reversed.
