What provider do you use? Any issues?
Thank you!

I have Sprint. I switched from Verizon after being with them for 16 years and my bills just kept increasing. They wanted to do nothing to keep me. My bill with Sprint is $75/month less than it was with Verizon. To me the service is a bit spotty, but so was Verizon. The providers are all neck and neck these days in regards to service.

I use Tracfone prepaid. For $99 I get a new phone and a year of service. Runs on verizon towers, so I may as well have verizon service. It is $5 for 1000 texts and $10 for data if you go over or use a lot. But it is still cheaper than a monthly plan. I have been using it for 4 years now and have zero complaints.

We just left sprint for T-Mobile. Our bill is about $35 cheaper a month with T-Mobile including our phone leases than sprint. The service is much better too.

We have had T Mobile for a few years now. We have service issue in certain place when we travel but only in places that are rural.

I have Straight Talk, $50 a month unlimited everything. My phone runs on Verizon towers. I've had them for almost 10 years, no issues

Re: Cellular providers
I've had T-mobile for about 15 years or so. Much cheaper than a lot of the other providers, and with wi-fi calling, I often have better reception than any other providers, since I just need a wifi connection to talk and text, instead of just relying on a cell connection.
At my house, none of the providers get a good signal. However, with wifi calling, I always have a strong, clear signal.
DW and DS have Tracphones, which works great for them, since they don't use their phones as much.

Re: Cellular providers
We just switched to Metro PCS and are paying half of what we were paying with Verizon for exactly the same service. $80 a month for 2 lines, unlimited data. We are going to switch to the lower plan which is $60 for 2 lines and not unlimited but still more than enough data for us considering we are always on wifi.

Re: Cellular providers
We used Verizon until it got too cost prohibitive for even the most basic plan and the taxes are ridiculous! I strongly recommend using an MVNO like Virgin Mobile or Tello if Sprint coverage is good in your area. I've tried both and am using Tello now. It's great, I'm paying $24 for unlimited voice, text and 3GB of data.
The only drawback is you do have to be careful about which phones you use as not all are compatible...
