I got angry at my cell phone bill and started researching switching. But then it was time to go home from work, so I might be over it. if anyone has suggestions for wireless service, or something else that'll help me waste some time, throw them at me!
I went down that path about 2 years ago. Working from home and generally being a homebody, I'm basically on wifi all the time. I made the switch to Ting (from Sprint) and pay $15/mo, maybe $20 if I go over my 1GB data on 5G (I have alerts set up). It's not ideal if you drive a lot and stream music on Spotify or whatever (or if internet/power goes out), but if you literally have no life, don't go anywhere, and basically have nonstop wifi, Ting is pretty cool. It uses T-Mobile towers, so your mileage may vary. There's a few places it gets a little fucky, but it's been pretty reliable overall. I thought about looking into Mint recently, but decided not to even dive down that rabbit hole.
I was just looking at Mint, I'm kinda leaning that way, but I still have quite a bit to pay off on one of my phones, so the big question would be keeping that one on Verizon for a while and switching the others or just hold off.
I was able to shave a bit off my current bill by changing plans, but these new VZW plans really suck.
I’m quite happy with US Mobile. Runs on Verizon towers (I think there’s an option to do T-mobile instead?). We have 3 lines sharing 12 gb for $41.
