I've always done pre-paid, no contract service plans and bring my own phone so being able to switch service provides was a big plus for me.
This is the only way to do it in my opinion. People who have contracts with any of the carriers with phones that only work on their network are getting taken advantage of. We don't stream with our phones so unlimited data isn't a need for us. I won't get into which carrier is better but I have Verizon. We have two brand new unlocked Android phones capable of using any of the big carriers. I paid $175 for each of them plus two .99 cent SIM cards, plus tax. All in was less than $400. They have Large screens and great cameras. I have a Pay as you go plan on each phone. We each get 6gb of data to use each month, unused data gets carried over to the next month and if we exceed the 6gb I can buy more data at a reasonable price or I can use 3g until the month ends. No contracts, no paying for extra data we don't use. All in for both phones, both plans....$66.00 a month total. $33 a month per phone is fantastic. You can't ask for more than that! Best deal I've ever had and I've had plenty over the years. People that walk into a cell phone store and pay $700-$1000 for the latest greatest phones and then pay $150 or more per month for unlimited data and only use a portion of the allotment might as well just take money out of their wallets and throw it in the trash because that's essentially what they're doing.
