My work provides me with a cell phone and ATT coverage. Works great everywhere I travel (I'm a professional truck driver). I also have a personal phone through T-Mobile, and my wife and two kids in college are on the same plan. For our phones we have unlimited text and talk and share 10G data. I never run out of data, nor do my young adult kids away at college. We pay $120 a month for all four phones. And yes we bought our phones outright and I will never again have a two year contract. Done with that. And for the record, where T-Mobile might not have coverage, they still work off the other guys towers. It's very rare my T-Mobile phone will not work and my ATT one will. That's just been my experience and I make my living on the interstate. Hans
