Smart phone - Which service & which phone?
This past weekend did it for me. I decided to get off my butt and get a smart phone instead of just talking about it. We were camped with friends in an open area just south of Quartzsite, AZ. Friday...

GlennB, my wife and my experiences with Verizon for her and straightalk for me over the past two years with 2 iphone 5. On voice, I could use straightalk as good as she did on Verizon. I did just have 3G on straightalk, most of the time could get 1 mb down and .75 to 1 mb upload where she had 4g LTE and could get 15 to 30 mb down and 15 to 20 mb upload at the same place. Now I understand straightalk you can now get 4g lte speed but still can not get speeds like Verizon.
Verizon now has a prepaid plan for $45 with unlimited talk, unlimited text, and 500 mb of data at 4g lte speed. If you set auto pay, you get another 500 mb data free for a total of 1 gpb of data. If you need more data, buy 3 gigs of data for $20 and can be used up to three months. I just got a new iPhone 6 plus for Christmas and switched to Verizon and hard to believe the difference on data service in my area between Verizon and straightalk on the Verizon towers. I live in NC western mountains and have seen about 30 mb plus download and 20 mb plus upload.
You do have to provide your own phone on the Verizon prepaid plan.
On the iPad air data, I use t-Mobile free 200 mb per month and use wifi hotspot from the iPhone 6 for more data.
