Switching cell phone carriers; need recommendations

[SpottiOtti]

I am switching from TMobile because I need a new phone and theirs are stupid expensive. Anyone got any recommendations or horror stories about cell phone carriers? Thanks!

I don't know a lot about American cell phone carriers but I love mine. I have been with mine for almost 15 years now. Because I have been with them for so long they provide me with awesome loyalty bonuses.

I use verizon and they have great 4G coverage.

My phone is a Samsung Android --- and my bf far prefers it to his Iphone.

I have Verizon and love them. Great coverage, flexibility with plans, and their phone prices aren't too bad.

Oh good, two votes for Verizon! I was thinking of switching to them but I've been with TMobile for like 12 years now so I'm nervous about switching. I'm probably overthinking it. Thanks guys.

I have Verizon and I love them. For the most part, they have the best coverage. Now, price of service per month, you're likely going to pay a bit more than you would through T-Mobile, HOWEVER, Verizon still does 2 year contracts, so the price of the phone isn't full retail. T-Mobile no longer does contracts so you're on the hook for $600+ phone. With Verizon, you're going to pay between $99-$199 for your phone, because it's subsidized through your contract.

 

I would look through the plans and make sure that it's affordable to you and in line with what your monthly usage is. Also, check with friends and see what carriers they use. You'll get a good idea of which carrier(s) work well in your area and which ones don't.

Alright, after some more research I took the plunge and went with Verizon. Thanks everybody!
