Been on visibles 25 plan for over a year now and I've been happy with it !

[theycallme_D]

I go postpaid because I can't afford to shell out $1k at once for a phone but I can afford to finance one

[Peterstarzynskitech]

I'm just glad that all prepaid carriers allow you to use unlocked phones.

[kings_chronicle]

I don't know about anyone there but Ive always used prepaid because it's my way when I'm ready

[LaCireseDeIonCreanga]

mostly prepaid here is better, more data, more everything. postaid used to get phones along with the service. until several years the phones were locked witch sucked.
also postpaid services suck coz carriers make the bills bigger whenever they wanna

Just swapped to us mobile from T-Mobile. Paid off my phone and went from 81/m to 25/m. Lost the ad supported Netflix but I just paid the 7 bucks a month and still come out way ahead. Saving almost 500 a year now.

Absolutely the best explanation of this topic on the net. Clear, articulate, and encompassed all the questions I had.

i'm in the uk and pay £4.90/month for unlimited calls and texts and 5gb data. i am 73 and only use the data to look up the bus availablity. i gave up my landline as it was costing a lot more than the mobile contract.

As an example you said someone could call visible customer service, however, customer service is only available via chat in their app. Most if not all of the other prepaid carriers do offer a phone option, but visible does not have a phone number you can call for help.

Switched from AT&T to Google Fi. No access charges for tablets, watches & great deals on devices especially at launch, flagships & mid range.

[salvadorfonseca]

Deprioritized data is very real. When bringing your own phone, you always have to make sure it's compatible with the network you're bringing it to. Just because it's gsm, doesn't necessarily mean it will work. Also good luck at getting a high end phone that's been massively subsidized, on prepaid.

I use Mint for my primary because tmo is the best in my area. I also have a sim active under the boost ultra program for $25 a month for unlimited everything but I find the speeds to be a bit lower in my area compared to tmo

[bill]

I have a grandfather AT&T postpaid plan that gives me HBO Max. The benefits of my opinion for postpaid plans is the discount that you get for having more than one line. In my case I have five lines and they’re $23 apiece.

[tonebonebgky]

You jumped right over hotspot, sure many people don't need unlimited hotspot like I do but for $90 and 3 lines of unlimited on the T-Mobile network and never getting severely deprioritized even after 1.1 TB I'm kinda surprised T-Mobile hasn't said you use too much data and we don't want your business but I really don't have to worry about that either they're unlikely to ever throw out a long term customer on an old plan.

Unlimited postpaid is 35€ per month here in Spain

GREAT and timely video. I will be sure to share. I just switched last weekend from TMO postpaid ($55/mo) after 9 years. Now with Visable basic for $15/mo with TMO port out/bring your own promotion. Getting horrible data speeds on my galaxy s23fe unlocked. I will be porting a second line to the s23 on an esim on TMO network. Have not decided which carrier. After asking TMO for years for a cheaper plan and getting nowhere, now they say they could have switched me to a pre-paid unlimited for about $25/mo. Still exploring my options.

[shiftyhoot]

in my country, if you using postpaid you must paid around 7$ for subscription + your usage, but if you using prepaid you reload your balance based on your needs, different form US operator, prepaid and post paid have different operator in here the same operator have pre/post option, there is no such thing as unlimited data post/prepaid, the service quality also the same so is no benefit to choose postpaid. We here very rarely buy locked phone cause they are more expensive than the unlocked one weird but that's the fact (ex locked s24 ultra cost around $1200 with Value added service from operator, unlocked one cost around $ 1100)

8:54 I got a new moto g power 5g(2024) for $49, month of service included. Unlocks 60 days after activation. Crazy for a cell that launched at $300 just 3 months ago.

[MrSomeGamerdude]

Pre-paid, the Freedom to jump to whater carrier you want (assuming your phone support both GSM and CDMA, or just switching to another company that uses the same towers). on the fly and BYOB, even if you bought an brand new unlock phone (doesnt have the be the Big name US brand phone; Apple, or Samsung)

The top 2 AT&T plans are the same but you choose HBO Max vs more hotspot data
