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?
Google Fi because I got it many years ago and I have 3 lines with unlimited everything for $45. Plus no contracts so if I ever want to cancel that’s no problem. Coverage has always been fine for me. Not sure what the current prices are but if anyone is interested I have referral links and we both get bill credits I think.
This is my exact situation lol Google Fi is just simple and cheap!
It’s not cheap, unless you count the international service that is included and use it. Compared to the price a US prepaid plan like mint or visible, it’s perfectly cromulent.
Tello, because T-Mobile got greedy. I pay $50 for the same level of service that cost $150 previously.
2 Reusable cloth bags and a backpack
Mint Mobile because paying up front for ~$180/year= 365 days of Talk/SMS/5Gb-5G/$15-month.
Been with em since it launched. And back then it was only 2Gb-4G/$15-month.
I believe new users can get any plan for the same intro price for various plans for the first 3 months.
Also has “Unlimited” 40Gb and “Unnecessary” 60Gb for extreme data peoples.
me never using more than 2Gb
Unlimited plan incl. 40GB high-speed data w/10GB hotspot. Unnecessary plan incl. 60GB high-speed data w/20GBYou can hotspot all your data on other plans if you wish.
If you use all your allotment, you can still read emails and google maps with throttled speeds, browsing is painful.
The bigger 2 get capped at 10 and 20 of hotspot use to keep people from using them as a primary Home ISP.
You can upgrade a plan at any time, but can’t downgrade.
Tubular is really spiffy to force 480p/720p for videos.
People burning data on 1080p/1440p…why!!!
I personally download playlists/music I want for offline use with Tidal and use Organic Maps so that solved my main data use issues right there. (Also refreshing to not be tracked by Google in 2025) and also works no issue, on Sandboxed Android Auto on GrapheneOS 🤔😂🤘
I’ve had many carriers going back all the way to PrimeCo… I’ve been with AT&T for a few years because they seem to be the least shitty (in terms of coverage and customer service) of all the carriers I’ve tried.
Really? I have had so many fights with them over the phone from myself and my parents, that I will never willingly use them again.
Yeah, for me it’s been smooth. I have had coverage problems and C/S problems, but they’ve been minor compared to the others I’ve tried.
May you never have the same experiences I had, fr. I’m glad it’s going well for you.
I’m glad that’s your experience! It’s probably regional or whatever but I have att and coverage is awful for me almost everywhere lol.
Mint because it works well and is super cheap. We pre pay for 5GB/mo for a year and only once have gotten close to using it all. We are just always near Wi-Fi anyways. Their international plans were reasonable as well when we were in Europe for a week last summer.
I thought about mint, but living in a smallish town of this god awful state of Texas, good internet is rarely available and I would easily use up that 5gb
I’d still suggest checking them out, they offer larger plans as well that are still great value ($15 for 5GB, $20 for 15GB, $25 for 20GB, and $30 for unlimited which is 40GB of full speed, $40 gets you 60GB of full speed data; all those are per month when pre paying for a year).
I second this. I was previously an AT&T user and have found Mint to have better coverage especially in the boonies. I wouldn’t go back. I’m on $30/mo unlimited yearly. It’s just not worth what the bigger companies are charging at all.
Oh and Mint offers a free 7-day trial that includes an eSIM so you don’t have to wait for something to come in the mail. I did the eSIM on a second line for the trial and literally never went back to AT&T’s line. I just called them up and cancelled.
Visible wireless because they use Verizon towers and it’s $30 a month unlimited.
Tmobile because I’m not going to ration my phone use like some kind of third world country farmer. They have been on unlimited everything since forever.
T-Mobile because we’re grandfathered into a $100 unlimited everything plan. We could go cheaper and such, but for now it’s okay.
I use Telia but have considered switching to Fello.
Cricket here. The service is relatively cheap, they offered a bunch of phones for cheap/free (with a new account), and I’ve never had any issues with the quality of the service/signal. I like not being locked into anything. The monthly bill hasn’t changed in years, and that’s nice too.
Currently Verizon, because my work pays for it. Previously Visible. Because it’s cheap.
T-Mobile, but I’m thinking about switching to T-Mobile.
Honestly though - I have the $30 prepaid T-Mobile plan with unlimited data, 100 phone minutes, and unlimited text. But I’m thinking about switching to Mint Mobile, because it’s just T-Mobile anyways, and I can just pay for the whole year and get the same + unlimited minutes for $15/mo instead.
3 because they give me pretty good value (20€ for a month of unlimited)
Ooredoo cause idk my parents and everyone uses it ig
