I used to have Verizon but when I lost my job, I was still locked in for the 2 years. We are planning to move in the next few months and we want to switch phone companies from Cricket to Verizon. Although Cricket is cheap and reliable, we won't have any service in some of the states in which we are driving. (Such as Montana, Minnesota, etc.) we can receive service on the east but when it comes to the north going into the west, Cricket doesn't have coverage for that kind of traveling. We don't feel comfortable moving without having two phones with full service available and on hand the entire time. (If we crash and our phones are out of service, we're f***ed) we have absolutely NO WAY of contacting anyone or getting home, ever.
We were thinking of 2 phone companies in particular:
1. AT&T - Reliable, affordable, downfall is that there isn't much coverage in the northern states
2. Verizon - Reliable, great coverage, downfall is that it's expensive. I've had Verizon before but I screwed myself over when I got fired and I ended up owing this huge $600 bill but that was 5 or 6 years ago. I was just going to get on a family plan with my fiance cause I wasn't sure if they would remember me or if they still had my social security number on file.
The most my fiance and I do is text/picture mail. We want phones compatible to Myxer but we also want phones that are affordable and reliable. We can't afford any $200 phones...we just can't. If all we wanted was 700 minutes each and unlimited messaging of all kinds (picture AND text) how much would our bill be and what kind of plan should we get? Will getting on a family plan be cheaper?
