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

[Catamount]

I’ve been very happy with Mint Mobile.
They ‘sub let’ on the T-Mobile Network.
I gave AT&T the 1 finger wave over three years ago, and haven’t regretted it once.
Once I got the SIM installed, I was switched over in 20 minutes.
I get all the data I need for $25/mo, and they have  both smaller and larger options.
I don’t think you can get an unlimited plan anywhere, these days.
Cell coverage should always be looked into, of course, but most places not in the far hills do all right.

You mentioned Wi-Fi. Your iPhone will use Wi-Fi, when at home or others’ WIFI, for most calls, and most texts, (iMessage) whether you realize that or not.
Email me directly if you’d like a mutually beneficial referral link- I think they’d give you three months free.

I won’t bore you with the details of dysfunction I have experienced trying to straighten out the invoicing for the existing mobile and the non-existent land line. No doubt I am not the only person who has had this experience and it continues after 3 different people at Verizon had assured me all was well.

I am a senior citizen and I see that Consumer Cellular and T-Mobile have “55+” plans but it doesn’t look as though they are unlimited talk and text.
