Phone service on the road

I've got Verizon, they use to be better than AT&T, but don't think so anymore, about the same, try Verizon

 

I use Net10. The downside is that it can be expensive upfront if you want a smart phone. The upside is that it uses either the Verizon, or ATT network depending on the phone you buy. For $50 a month you get unlimited talk, text and data and there is no contract. On the data you get 2.5 gigs at high speed and then they cut the speed back. We have used this service for years and been reasonably happy with it. My daughter has a htc vivid that has been jailbroke and we purchased a Net 10 sim card for it. My wife has threatened to take her phone away because she spends so much time on it.

 

I use tmobile and I only rarely run into problems where I have no service. The failed merger with att got us some good roaming coverage.

 

I've got T-Mobile for my phone and use a Verizon jet pack as a supplement. I can use Wi-Fi calling with T-Mobile on Verizon data network.

 

I thought about doing that. What does the Verizon data cost you?

 

$50 for 5gigs. I figured it would be good enough to get me through T-Mobile dead areas.
