When Verizon treated me like shit, I stopped doing business with them. I switched carriers and never looked back.
Already switched from US Cellular who not only treated us like shit but gave us no coverage. And my only other choice is AT&T and they are shit too.
Mint mobile has been the best experience I've had.
Mint mobile or any of those services still use the three main services for the actual coverage.
I'm aware, but it's not the cell tower signal you have a problem with.
MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) are a great option for not dealing with the big carriers. If an MVNO is getting a lot of complains from their customers they have the aggregated power of many customers to push with. If an MVNO is being treated poorly by a carrier they can actually switch but the impact is much bigger than a single customer switching, so it has much more weight. Also the MVNO is the one with your data, the carrier just has services listed as with that MVNO and doesn't have your personal details directly.
So if you do want to get away from a carrier but still need their network I would recommend looking at various MVNO options and giving one a go. Look for reviews, make sure they aren't just a front for the carrier you don't like, and don't sign up for a long contract, just get something small and see how it goes. That's my recommendation anyway.
I will soon be forced to use Verizon because of the area I'm moving to. I currently have Mint, but the coverage in my soon to be home is abysmal. The only options are Verizon or GFi, which only works in town. Mint already works in town, but I'm not living or working in town 😮💨
Mint is owned by T-Mobile, they will kill it when they are done with it.
US Mobile is top tier. I pay $25/month for unlimited, and you can choose between T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T. Been with them 1.5 years now and will not go back. I've had minor issues, but they always have real people when you need assistance.
At&t recruits devilcorps to sell their products
for funsies... if you call places with shitty call centers, put them on hold.. make another call to that same shitty call center, then merge the calls.
haliarity can happen from their stupid counterfeit intelligence talking to their stupid counterfeit intelligence.
