I looked into plans where you buy the phone at full price and have a cheaper monthly rate/no contract. It just didn't work out to be a better deal for me. I'm happy with Verizon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-choose-a-new-cell-phone-provider#post-1536217 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 09:58:44 +0000 jetsa 1536217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: @Happygal: Yep, here too. Verizon has the market pinpointed if you are in my rural area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-choose-a-new-cell-phone-provider#post-1536006 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 08:29:42 +0000 Silva 1536006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was prepared to switch to straight talk....I went into AT&amp;T and asked them if they could lower our bill. We got an upgraded phone and our monthly bill dropped by 30.00 for the same stuff. They had me on an outdated plan, the new ones were much cheaper.<br /> It might be worth an in person visit to your current provider. They will often try hard to keep you. In college I was slammed with a ton of roaming charges I didn't expect- called and asked to cancel my plan, and they dropped all the charges for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-choose-a-new-cell-phone-provider#post-1535981 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 08:15:18 +0000 snowjewelz 1535981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: I want to switch when we're done w/ Verizon too. But I am hesitant; paying for Verizon does mean really great service &amp; fast internet. Granted, I rarely talk on the phone &amp; use wifi all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-choose-a-new-cell-phone-provider#post-1535906 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 07:21:28 +0000 Mamaof2 1535906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: ditto! In our area and where we travel Verizon is a must -it has the best coverage for our needs hands down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-choose-a-new-cell-phone-provider#post-1535898 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 07:17:30 +0000 Happygal 1535898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked my friends in this area b/c it really came down to the quality of cell phone reception for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-choose-a-new-cell-phone-provider#post-1535839 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 06:38:45 +0000 lavender 1535839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I'm still hesitant too, but I like how they don't have contracts, so if it isn't good it'll only be a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-choose-a-new-cell-phone-provider#post-1535555 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 20:57:47 +0000 immabeetoo 1535555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: I just read some reviews of ting... I'm not sure I'm sold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-choose-a-new-cell-phone-provider#post-1535437 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 19:56:05 +0000 lavender 1535437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No help, but following along! I think when my AT&amp;T contract ends I'm going to switch to straight talk or ting. Why pay more when you don't have too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-choose-a-new-cell-phone-provider#post-1535401 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 19:37:19 +0000 immabeetoo 1535401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have any websites to compare options? I'm having trouble on Google because it's over spammed by scammy sites :( </p>
