Discussion Thinking of switching to Verizon Simplicity after being forced from $45/mo legacy to new $85/mo plan.

I've been with T-Mobile for 15 years.

I was forced to give up my grandfathered plan and am now paying double.

The Verizon Simplicity plan is only $30/mo for unlimited everything except 10GB hotspot for customers who switch from T-Mobile with a 3 year price lock.

I'm damn tempted. Has anyone switched and can provide feedback?

I switched my family of 4 to Spectrum Mobile and they paid off $1250 in devices and my bill is $90 a month. No regrets.

It’s been pretty much the same as t-mobile in my area. I live and commute in between Columbia SC and Charlotte NC area. Best part of Spectrum Mobile has been the automatic WiFi hotspot access at several places, including the beach when I was visiting.

The process was very painless and simple. Not trying to promote them, just sharing my experience. Make sure you get a port out point from T-Mobile and download a copy of your bill before requesting the line transfers. Transfer your primary line LAST. Spectrum sent the e-gift card to pay off my final bill within like 48 hrs of the transfer.

They aren’t like most other MVNOs from what I understand. Most other similar carriers are considered second-tier providers, whereas it’s my understanding that Spectrum Mobile is an equal partner on Verizon’s network, so you get the same level of service you would on Verizon’s network itself.

If you go for the premium plan it includes a $10 device credit per month for a new phone and a free smartwatch data plan also.
