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

[Ryan “RyGuy” IDK]

I’m also on Mint Mobile. Very happy with it. I have the $35 a month “unlimited” plan that’s actually just a 35GB plan. Service gets a bit weird on my way to the Berkshires between Goshen and Dalton, though. That’s the only big dead zone I have. 

Best,

RFCB

>> 	I am writing because I need to end my relationship with Verizon and find a better carrier and contract for my mobile phone, which is now my only phone. 
>> 	I eliminated my land line several months ago. 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.
>> 	This morning I was woken up by a call from (supposedly) Verizon saying my account had been discontinued for “verification.”  I spent more than half an hour on hold waiting to get a  real person to talk to me without any luck and decided I was done with Verizon.

>> 	I would be very grateful for advice (pro and con) about other carriers who have good coverage, good customer service, and reasonable rates. 
>> 	What I am looking for is an unlimited talk and text plan for one iPhoneSE and an Apple Watch. I want to keep the phone number I have now and I don’t need a second line. 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. 
>> 	Some of the carriers offer a new phone as a perk on a new account. Is that a good deal or does it not work out to be as beneficial as they say it will be?
>> 	I don’t need wifi (I am sharing an account with my tenant and it works very well). 
>> 	And, because we don’t always know what questions to ask until it’s too late, what else should I be thinking about?
>> 
>> 	Thanks so much everyone! Happy New Year!
