AS full timers, we need coverage, so we put up with the rates from Verizon. The carriesrs like Sprint, Tracfone, Straight Talk just do not have the needed coverage.
So you get what you pay for.

That's certainly the case in my rural area.
If you drive mostly on interstates, and live in a town over 100,000, the smaller carriers are fine. But not down here in the backroads and tiny towns.
Verizon now has a pre-paid plan for $45/month, just like Straight Talk. I may go to that soon.
So far as paying for a phone.... save $10/month (which almost anyone can manage) and you will have enough to replace a phone when it dies. Even including the $10/month, I am way ahead with Verizon's new pricing.
