or maybe I should stay with Verizon? We need new phones... We are not steaming movies or music.

What are your existing phones? Different people have different ideas of "need" and "new".

I bought a new unlocked galaxy 6s for about $320. I use tracfone for about $110/year.

We both have iphone 5. Like 1GB of data.

I've found I have to stick to Verizon, only reliable coverage where I live and still doesn't work in the house all the time.

My friends with other carriers come over and can't get a signal at all.

I have found that Verizon is the devil you know. Best to stick with them.

I bought an iphone 6 on ebay (less expensive upfront cost than buying it from verizon or apple). Verizon just came out with a new plan that is $55 for 5GB of data. Unused data rolls over until the end of the next month. You may also be entitled to an employer discount. Check on that.

Just changed from Verizon to TMobile for a family plan. MISTAKE. Coverage is actually fine but customer service is a nightmare. It is a good deal but not worth it.

Verizon is the only way to go.

I had T-Mobile, but had to switch to Verizon when we moved into our new house. I couldn't get any coverage and my husband (who had an AT&T work phone had spotty coverage). The boys only person who could get coverage was a friend of mine with Verizon. It's been great, but expensive. We don't have a landline, so I needed good coverage.

I have T-Mobile with 3GB and free streaming + YouTube. FIOS at home. Each is $60/month.

And AT&T?

I switched from Verizon to Ting. We added a phone and still pay a lot less. The coverage is not flawless but the customer service has been very good and it's a lot cheaper.

AT&T has an app that you can report outages, which I know is pointless to you now, but it may help others reading this thread. I have used it countless times (usually in towns in the middle of no where, or coverage is great outside and not inside).

We switched from VZ to t-mobile 3 months ago and couldn't be happier. A lot more for a lot less. Coverage in and around DC is actually very, very good.
