I have read elsewhere on DDF that ATT has better reception than Verizon in 08701. Is that true for ATT prepaid as well?

If you are looking for talk and text only on the sprint network then tello is the cheapest when you choose 200mb data . Total after tax in NY $13.73. Somehow if you don’t choose the 200mb data it’s about .75 more. If you do tello please enter my referral code P30G2K73

Twigby talk and text totals $14.56 for me
And if you want to use twigby please pm me and I will send you my referral as well.
Thank you

dont know where this belongs.
why would anyone have a plan with verizon or att, when you can get the same unlimited plan for much cheaper (im on the verizon newer grandfathered plan)?
is there any advantage of lets say verizon or att over cricket?

I believe there is an advantage. The 4 main companies give priority to their own customers when it comes to data.

Fair question. The service is not very good in Lakewood.

Thingywingy · « **Reply #754 on:** September 06, 2018, 02:06:10 AM »

I recently started service with Total Wireless in Lakewood and find their coverage terrible. I knew that an MNVO is not going to be as good as the real thing (Verizon) but was pretty surprised at how poor the data reception actually is. Are there any cheap options (MNVO's) with good reception in Lakewood? I have heard that ATT is better than Verizon here? Is the same true for ATT prepaid? Thanks.

The glory days of MVNOS are over, very few are profitable and worth joining for consumers.

Because the big players prices have come down or their service is not comparable?

ATT prepaid $40 w autopay gets 8gb plus mobile hotspot and service to and from Canada.Cricket $35 for 5gb without hotspot and Canada. In this range ATT seems like a much better deal.
