Need another cell provider, Patriot mobile?

[346ci]

I've been with verizon for 22 years and pay $48/month for 1gb data. I'm now needing around 2-3gb and even with their first responder plan I'm at $60/month. I don't like paying $48 now and surely not $60.

I also need another phone so figured it was time to switch providers. I've heard Rush talk about Patriot but their reviews are not great. Anyone use their service or have a better plan?

They use Sprint towers so they are a no go for me. If you stick to the major highways they are probably ok.

I have Patriot mobile. They do piggyback on Sprint. I switched from Verizon, haven't noticed much of a dif in reception. Possibly a dropped call here or there. Been with them a couple years...

You should check out Red Pocket mobile

For me their best deal is AT&T service (if att has good signal where you need it, its great where I am)
but they also have a verizon service based plan, its just not as good of a value as the att one

I buy the plans on ebay when they go on sale, I pay $300 up front for an entire year of service, 20GB data per every 30 days and unlimited talk and text. I have unlocked phones, so just a matter of popping their sim card in and activating. Their customer service is pretty good too

This was the att plan - no longer on sale, this is full price, but it will go on sale again around black friday, does every year
