The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
thanks i'll look into lucky mobile Rogers is way to big to care

The "Light" plan sounds perfect for a friend of mine. What networks does US Mobile use?
When I signed up with US Mobile last year, I had a choice between Verizon and T-mobile.

I picked Verizon because I have two other lines with Tello (a T-Mobile MVNO).

I figured more chance that I'll get a signal wherever I am with the different networks.

About to port out to Tello $10 /2G plan.

The sale of Republic Wireless to Dish then transition to Boost Infinite has been a debacle. Don't need "unlimited" "forever" but might be worth checking. Unimpressed....hello Tello....

Thanks. I'm on TF/Verizon and have 1½ years of service left. I have bookmarked the US Mobile site and will take a look at it again next year with a view to switching then.

After many years with Republic which we were extremely happy with until their sale then we switched to T-Mobile 55+.We have four phones two with insurance (twins phones) for a little less than $170.00. This included four free Motorola phones when we signed up.

We get a discount for automatic bank debit and we get a discount on Netflix. We have been happy with them do far.

Well, the T-Mobile merger has changed things a bit since I posted this. The plans I have generally remain the same but with subtle changes:

$55/month for 3 lines on T-Mobile (formerly Sprint).
1 line includes:
Data: Unlimited: Includes 100 GB of hotspot data per line and 4k streaming video
Talk & Text:Unlimited
Bundled Extras: Hulu, AppleTV, Pandora Premium, Lookout Premium Plus,
Premium Bundled Extra: Netflix
International Roaming: Unlimited Talk, Text and 4G LTE data in Canada and Mexico; 5GB of 5G in other countries, and unlimited 2G after that
Airline Wifi: Unlimited Airline Wifi

The other two are
- unlimited talk/text/data in the US
- 5GB of 5G internationally, and unlimited 2G after that
- Airline Wifi up to 4 times/year

Following up on my last post (number 72) I have both phones with US Mobile now, each on a "Light" plan: unlimited text and talk, 1 GB dada each.

My first phone had a 50 day free trial and I only used less than 400 mb of data. I GB for each phone per month should be plenty for me as I do very little on the internet.

Boost Mobile has been my wireless provider for about 9 years. It was owned by Sprint but was sold to Dish TV due the merger of Sprint with T-Mobile.

Since its acquisition by Dish TV, Boost has become highly promotional. I have switched plans with Boost 3 times in less than 3 years, in order to have a plan which more closely suits my needs and at a lower cost.

My current plan with Boost allows me unlimited talk and text, as well as 5GB of 4G/5G data per month. The cost is $15 per month, including taxes and fees. This charge is with autopay.

Because I don't rely on my wireless phone for much data usage, this plan meets my needs at a reasonable cost.

I was with Verizon for 23 years, from when they were first branded, until a few days ago. Had four lines, for me and my three kids. Now, after 23 years my kids are all finally on their own plans and I was left with Verizon at $87.85 per month for one line. Tried to contact them to change to a cheaper plan but could not get any sensible response from them.

So I switched to Google Fi, $20 a month plus $10 per GB plus taxes. I mostly use wifi calling so I expect to stay within the 1 GB.

I like to "play" with computers and ( some ) tech. So my home phone is Ooma with two lines, no text capability, no monthly fees but $5 a month in taxes. I have my Ooma programmed to also ring through to the cell phone, and vice versa, so when I get a call on one it rings on both and I can answer whichever one is handy. I also have a Google Voice number that is forwarded to the cell phone. I live alone and don't need four phone numbers, but I have them anyway. I also like being able to phone and text through the PC.
