Cell Service

[jgp12000]

I have been with Verizon for years but now our 2 lines are $135/month.

Both phones are paid for & I am leaning towards straight talk which several of our friends have.Verizon owns them & they use the same towers.

Google tells me I need to request a transfer PIN before I begin the process myself.My mother did the switch at walmart with the Straight talk rep & it was
Fast.I prefer to do it at home.

We have been with Verizon for 28 years, 2 lines.

Ours also was about $135 a month, with limited data.

We went into the Verizon main company store in Fresno last year.

Said we were Seniors, and were looking to cut our monthly bill.

Said if they couldn't help us, we would shop around and probably go with ATT.

They put us on a special plan for long-time customers, it is about $85 a month with unlimited data.

Plus, they gave us both new iPhone 16e's, and a new extender for home, since our old one was outdated.  All at no charge.

They are not ever going to offer things like this —- one needs to ask, and then let them know that you are willing to move to another service.

But it was simple, quick, and seamless.  We were in and out in less than an hour.

Best, Fred

My wife had been with Verizon for over twenty years. She tried to negotiate lower prices, etc. with them and threatened to switch a year or two ago when she retired. They said nope, no deals or price reduction, go ahead, so she did and has absolutely no regrets. She now has unlimited data for about a third the price.

I didn't get good service at/near my house with Verizon so switched to T-Mobile and got great coverage for less... $58/month. Last year I changed to Mint for $15/month. Mint uses T-Mobile towers so same coverage for less than 1/3 the cost.
