Unlimited Data ... Sprint or T-Mobile

Yea, that's what I thought I would do too. Get something through T-Mobile but if/when I hit one of their dead spots I can still turn my Verizon phone to hot spot as needed.

The latest thing I've seen folks rent legacy Verizon hotspot lines that never get throttled. Verizon is honoring the truly unlimited data plan for the time being. I haven't tried it because I think it's $300/month.

 

I have tmobile phone and verzion hotspot. I am on the unlimited plan with t-mobile and use about 20gb a month.

There's a lot of holes so don't plan on steaming music, podcast, or sirusxm app, it will break up once u leave a major city.

Verzion, I use about 6-10gb

I think it's worth it doing it that way, I only spend $85 a month with tmobile because my phone is already paid off and about 100 with verzion hotspot. Almost 200/month.
but if I did 30gb just on verzion, that's 185/month just data, no voice or text

 

No interest in sending Verizon $300/mo as I am already spending over $100 with them and looking for an option that is both cheaper and doesn't nickel and dime you for every next 1Gb.... Thus the reason to post this thread.

Thanks.

 

Agreed. I think that the real unlimited data starts to make sense for higher GB usage. I'm going to check it out.

 

Verizon has the best coverage for sure.

 

And why I might keep either my old iPhone 4S or just my iPad on our Verizon family package for only $15/mo... And move my new iPhone 6S to T-Mobile for the unlimited internet. I know it has holes but if I really need the net when in one of their holes, then I can just jump over to Verizon and use a few Gb of their expensive data or make a call, etc.

T-Mobile as primary with Verizon backup.

 

some of us need to buy a sprint spark capable phone and start seeing how the coverage is these days. i know it's better but my phone isn't spark capable. and they've added 10,000 new cells.

i have both sprint and verizon cell phones with hotspots. i don't know if my phone is dieing or verizon has changed some of their footprint. lately i've had no verizon service in places i used to have. to which i use my sprint phone.

when i'm in the yard or thereabouts. verizon has been a struggle. the entire 4 1/2 years i've been back on the road.

 

So it looks like the store is selling the Verizon 4g lte lines that are grandfathered into the truly unlimited data plans and since Verizon is the only one not throttling that's pretty good. I got a quote for $250/mo and I can use as much data as I want. I need to do the math to see if it makes sense with my data usage.
