(View all)I can't wait to leave Verizon. I'm lucky enough to live in a very strong cell area (Dallas, TX) so any carrier is an viable option. T-Mobiles new family plans will save me $100 a month, and that's not counting the benefit of either keeping the phone past the 22 month mark and paying even less or being able to upgrade whenever I damn well feel like it.
I hope T-Mobile's plans are successful enough to get the rest of America off the subsidized model.
it's only around $20 cheaper
It's also an interest free loan over two years for the phone... so about $25 cheaperUnlike other carriers you can at least switch before 2 years by paying off the remainder of the phone payments.
1. My pricing included Unlimited Text.
2. Why would I care if i'm on contract or not if I plan on using the phone for 2 years. Who jumps carriers every 6 months anyways?
3. I didn't know about the 500mb hotspot. That is worth something.
But who really keeps their phone for more than 2 years? I know I get the newest iPhone every 2 years.
Also, i'm talking about individual plans. Nothing about family plans.
You're talking Apples and Oranges here.
With T-Mobile you have 0 overages. If you go over your 2.5GB you are still able to utilize 2G speeds. Yes its slow, but its something to get you by. ATT will charge you $10+. You get Unlimited Minutes and Texts. Texts on ATT will cost you $20 additional.
At the end of the day its what matters to you, but comparing the two, T-Mobile is simply a better value!
