My T-mobile contract is up next week. I am looking to go pre-paid and maybe switching carriers.
I'm sick of being locked into a 2 year contract and paying extra fees each month.
My wife will stay with T-mo but go prepaid.
I work at 2 different hospitals. At one I get horrible reception, everyone does, its the area with lots of tall buildings and the construction of the hospital itself. For this reason I want to switch to a different carrier. People with verzion seem to get better reception there.
I use about 700-1000 minutes a month and I use 2-5GB of data (I tether my laptop at the other hospital I work at). I'm sticking with android phones:biggrin:
Options:
T-mobile $60-70/month "4G" could keep my old phone...can tether
Boost $55/month..... price drops longer you stay (sprint network)unknown tethering
MetroPCS $50-60/month 4g/LTE phones (Sprint network I think) some luck with tethering
Verizon Wireless $95/month unlimited data unknown tethering
as much as I want to goto verzion I think they are too expensive unless there is a reseller who also allows tethering.
Boost seems to not mind about tethering, but phones are limited with them.
Staying with T-mo looks OK, I just would really like to have reception at the one workplace.
I have friends with metroPCS and they are happy, phones seem OK, Howard forums report success in tethering on rooted phones.
Any ideas or comments are welcomed.:awe:
