Hi,

Which prepaid company / plan is the best for some guy that visits the US many times a year and wants to keep the same number?

Either the cheapest prepaid plan and let it run for the entire time (can be on lowest plan, and upgrade when actually using for more internet)

Or if there is some other company that lets you keep your number for some time without refilling the line.

Thanks All, but I need it for a long term this Ting and others mentioned here are companies that wo knows will be around next year, he is open to prepaid off brands but the companies that exist.

I pay about $70-75 a month for 4 lines, with teens texting and talking a lot, making international calls (Israel, for example, is the same rate as the US). I guess it's a lot

depending on your expectations.

Does anyone have an opinion regarding Visible? It's the new low cost service that uses Verizon towers.

Does anybody have info on a any mnvo of any carried that supports CNAME caller ID ? I know Verizon does on their regular plans for $3 extra a month. Looking for info if there is a reseller of any carrier that does it. I want to switch my home phone to a wireless home phone connect

I have an old Sprint family plan with unlimited data, that's really unlimited.
Unlimited texts.
We split 1500 daytime minutes.
I currently have 7 phone lines, but may add an 8th.
All smartphones.
2 of my people's phones just plotzed.
They used to give each line a new phone every 2 years, but stopped a while ago.
I pay over $45 each line.

Before they buy new Sprint phones, I'm considering switching to a new phone company altogether. Even prepaid

Who has good service in (Brooklyn) NY?
Lots of data?
Reasonable price?

Im happy with MetroPCS in Brooklyn
https://www.metropcs.com/shop/plans (taxes included)

They offer port in discounts on phones

Im not sure how the new Google1 or Prime benefits work (I think they max out on 5 lines per an account so you should be able to double up or mix n mach)

The trick with Metro is to be on the look out for when they have promo rates and match to that, I would wait to see if they have a Black Friday deal.

CS is all in India and its not so good

Changing phones is a PIA that involves calling CS

The authorized dealer stores (and sometimes the corporate stores too) nickle and dime you adding on fees or adding on extras that you dont need.

Verizon prepaid just changed their plans and are pretty competitive. Discounts on multiple lines and autopay discounts ..

If happy with sprint service ,there is boost mobile etc..

If happy with tmobile there is metro.

Cross posting but I think it's a very good deal when using this method. If you add cards to your account at half off from Ebay any of vzw prepaid plans are essentially half off

"Ended up putting him on Verizon fully unlimited for 65 with autopay.
What's cool is that you can get Verizon refill cards on Ebay half off!"

What's the word on Cricket?
Is the coverage OK?
What about the data? They say they strangle (on the unlimited plan) only after 22 GB on that line. Is the speed OK until then? And movies are in SD quality. Is that a problem?

They're promoting 4 lines for $100. (3/ $90, 2/$80, 1/$55) unlimited plan.

Coverage is att since their owned by att.
Realize that plan the data speeds won't be too fast... its limited to 3mbps. For many it might be fine....
