Skip Verizon and go Straighttalk - SAME CELL TOWERS!
Buy any phone at WalMart that had "CDMA" on package - That's Verizon!!!
Half price Network!
My friend has Verizon company phone and I have straighttalk - MOST times same number of bars reception - sometimes he has more - sometimes I do - but Mostly he does because his phone is a lot newer than mine
$55 card a month = UNLIMITED text talk data plan
Quoting: Theobromine The Deplorable US Mobile has the same basic thing, but you can bring your own smart phone, just change out the sim card.
You can choose either the GSM or LTE network,( if your phone will work on either one.)
It is a pre pay and you can do other plans and pick and choose what you want.
It allows for a lot of customization of your plan, if you don't go with an "unlimited" one.
You pay through their website, so there is no searching for a card or location to buy extra minutes and monthly renewals can be set up on auto pay.
I left Verizon, because I did not use enough of their basic plan.
US Mobile saves me a lot and I still have the good coverage of that higher priced network.
Might be worth checking out.
I don't figure it would please every one, but it did me.
