Is it cause of coverage, download speeds, was it cheap, did you trust them more, do they have some bonus on top of phone data, or was it just what your family had and you got it too?

AT&T. I had never had them before and been with all the other big names. They’re okay, not as great as some have said. I’ve been lucky to not experience the most recent outages and I also joined after the leaks occurred but the service is still the same as the others, in my experience.

But I am looking to leave them soon and possibly go with Helium or another small time carrier. $80 a month (more like $100 after all the bullshit fees) is absurd no matter how you slice it. And the other two are charging the same so you really have no choice anymore except the smaller carriers that run off the same networks.

I'm at $50 with Verizon, 5g, how are you paying that much?? Is that like the top tier ultra wideband whatever?

I have 2 lines on Verizon for like $35/ea, but we're also on a family plan with 5 lines, and I buy my phones online outright instead of through Verizon. My mom and brother pay like $60/$70 because they buy their phones on payment and can't figure out why my bill is so cheap.
