Wireless Carrier price fixing?

[Anole]

keep shopping

You might consider the pay-as-you-go plans.
A lot of them are cheaper.
Check both the regular carriers, and the MVNOs.
They are companies buying time from the guys with towers, and reselling it.

I was with AT&T here in the Los Angeles area (excellent coverage) for maybe 10 years, on an old grandfathered plan.
When I wanted to move to a smartphone, the prices were about double.
I discovered Straight Talk, who buys time on AT&T.
It's $45/mo and no taxes for unlimited* talk, text, 411, & data .
AND the used iPhone I got, which was locked to AT&T, thinks it's on AT&T, 'cause it IS!
Coverage is unchanged.

4 X $45 = $180/mo, if you can live on that much data.

Coverage and satisfaction vary with company and area, so research before jumping.
Howardforums is a good touchstone, as we don't have detailed cellular support here.


* keep data to 2gb/mo for best results.

Matt:

You seem to want to keep me on Sprint. No LTE here and no target date. They have blown it with me, so you can take them off the table.

I don't care what you do. I was just giving you a suggestion that works very well for me since you mentioned GV..

Wireless companies have got way too big. Too many people and a trillion teenagers have made them so rich they no longer care.

I use cheap prepaid plans and public hotspots.
