We No Longer Need a Big Carrier’s Wireless Plan. Discount Ones Are the Way.
We No Longer Need a Big Carrier’s Wireless Plan. Discount Ones Are the Way.
We are overpaying for phone plans from Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Budget wireless services, similarly fast and robust, can save thousands.
P.S. Some of the 'big' carriers, now and then, offer much less expensive 'plans'. Some event beat the prices in this article, if your 'Data' needs are limited.

Is it an american joke, I'm too European for understand ?
At some point they told the Telcos you have to offer competition. So a dozen different budget phone services popped up over like the last 15 maybe more years. They all have decent rates and use one of the big 3s infrastructure, so they get the same service levels.
The big Telcos still exist because people don't fully understand how the competition works and because people always want the newest iPhone and are bad at math and calculating risk. So they are in a perpetual contract so they can get a free "insured" iphone of the latest variety, while only paying 3x for their cell bill.
"Same service levels" Wrong. Verizon and the other infrastructure owners don't sell access to their top tier antennae. You're using the older shit and your traffic is deprioritized. You do not get the same service.
That doesn't mean it cannot be worth the price, but know they're LYING to you when they say you get the exact same service.
US Mobile and Visible both offer plans with prioritized Verizon data.
Might be true of Verizon. I have seen no difference of AT&T. IDK how you even get on Verizon, are they still doing CDMA?
They share more bands in 5G. Still don't sell top tier service (at least at the same price).
