When I left Verizon, I tried Consumer Cellular. They use AT&T or T-Mobile. Great customer service, but I quickly learned that I needed Verizon's coverage for some of the places I travel (once I got off the interstate, AT&T's coverage dropped to nothing).

I then moved to Total Wireless. They are bare bones as far as customer service, but I have had no issues and the coverage is excellent.

A potential problem with Verizon prepaid and its MVNO is that they run at lower QOS than Verizon postpaid. So on busy towers, the prepaid guys get deprioritized and throttled.

I have heard this too, but have to say I have never experienced any issues with Total Wireless (although I am not a heavy bandwidth user).

In fact, the only issue I have with Total Wireless is that for two lines the smallest plan you can get is 15GB. Between the Mrs. and myself, we use *maybe* 3-4GB in a month.

Just FYI...I took the bait and switched us today from Verizon to Spectrum. I got a new phone and two unlimited data cell plans:
$142 per month
I’ve been paying Verizon $100 more per month!
