Opting out of ATT seems like the most obvious no-brainer, but are there options for phone service that are actually halfway decent?
Or as an alternative, would it be feasible to get some kind of internet phone/texting service, use that over wifi, or maybe have a basic data plan to go with it at most?
I’d go with a discount reseller. You save so much money even with a Consumer Cellular, which is on the pricier end of resellers. I’d avoid Ting though, even though it’s probably the cheapest, if you like keeping your phone number. They constantly try to steal your phone number because it’s owned by some scammy Canadian ISP with a decades long track record of being an ass.
Actually I use Ting Mobile and like it. I thought they were bought out by Dish or something? Or have they changed hands again?
