    No, I just gave them my company name and tax id, so the bill comes to the company name. I think when I switched cost was the same for business and personal, you can compare prices on their website

    Att likes to charge extra. Boost mobile is just a flat fee of $55. No taxes or fees. I had att until I got tired of paying their high prices. I have direct TV and can get the unlimited data plan but they slow you down after 22gb and they add lots of other fees.

    I use metro PCS which runs on T-mobile. It's not as good as Verizon and probably not as good as ATT either but at $60/mo who's complaining. Very rarely does it actually cause me trouble due to lack of service.

    We have metro pcs and boost mobile with 3 kids we had 5 lines for $125 from metro. I noticed that boost mobile gets better service more often like in Colorado and other areas when using data. We just switched to boost, they are running a promotion 2 lines with unlimited 4g for $80. That's very cheap.

    Sprint is awful for OTR unless you run strictly within metropolitan areas. I run central and western states a lot: Nebraska, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah, etc and never had service. Boost runs Sprints network but gets the short end of the stick as far as coverage goes. I went to Verizon which has been 100% better. Problem is I'm using almost double the data I used on Sprints unlimited plan and I haven't even been streaming movies. I've read this has been a common theme with them lately...

    The new unlimited T-Mobile plan had me interested but if you listen to the fast talk at the end of the radio commercial it says that the data slows down after a certain amount is used.

    ^ Same with AT&T on their new "unlimited" plan for anybody considering it. After I believe 24gb they throttle you to nearly unusable speeds.

    If you want the cheap data but also the reliability for just text messages/phone calls you could always pick up a prepaid Verizon flip phone for $20. $10/month gets you unlimited texting verizon to Verizon and another $10 should get you enough minutes for your phone calls, Verizon to Verizon calls are still always free I think.

    Just a thought. T-mobile plus $20/month for a cheap flip phone is still cheaper than most big data plans.

    I have their unlimited plan and I've never been throttled yet. I've gone over 22gb a few times now. I think they'll only hit you if you're in a prime area during peak hours.
