[Hidden-tech] Looking for advice about carriers for mobile phone

[Nina Fischer]

We switched to Infinity recently and have been very happy.  You have to get
your internet through them to be eligible.  The service is less expensive
then Verizon but uses the same networks.  No problems with dropped calls
and great 24/7 customer service. the transition has been easy.  We checked
out T-Mobile and out her the service is not good.  Lots of dropped calls
and crappy,limited customer service.
