What are these bitches gonna do about it?!

They could switch ;)

Verizon and AT&T both already cost more.

MVNO?

I was a T-Mobile customer for awhile and am on AT&T now. In my region it’s always one or the other with the best coverage.

I was going to switch to Boost Infinite right before they became Boost. Still trying to figure out if Boost will work on AT&T, Boost, T-Mobile networks like Boost Infinite did because if they do, smell ya later (kinda) AT&T!

I'm on Mint Mobile and they've not disappointed me yet. TBF, I have minimal expectations.

[–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 2 points 4 weeks ago

Mint Mobile only works on T-Mobile. I’m wanting something that works on both. My wife is still on T-Mobile, and whenever we travel our state one when one of us has no signal, the other does. I’d like an MVNO that can automatically switch between the two.

Google Fi supports this but last I heard it doesn’t work on iPhone.

So yeah, I’m the opposite: I have high expectations if I’m going to switch.

At least when Verizon ran this scam it was “as long as you have this plan” and tricked you into changing plans
