Should I go with a Prepaid?

memphislawyer · 07-14-2014, 08:26 AM

I have 750 anytime minutes and unlimited text and data for $72 a month, and only once have I gone over 1 gig. This is all with Sprint. I can choose a Tmobile plan for $50 and get unlimited talk and text and 1 gig of 4LTE data, before they throttle it down . $40 if I want 500mb of 4LTE and most of the time, I could switch the phone and use WIfi.

So would I be better off with Boost or Metro PCS or Virgin? Im in Memphis 95% of the time, or I fly to big market areas or Destin, FL a drive. Im out of town maybe 20 days a year max? I have an upgrade coming 9-1-14 and use a Iphone 4 now so Im all 3g. Been getting some choppy calls and problems loading pages at times. I think a S5 or HTC One- 8 or LG 3 would work much better and I guess I can program the newer phones to search for Wifi? Suggestions or advice appreciated

Check out Cricket Wireless. They are now owned by ATT and you can get a $35 plan that will suit you fine.
