I see you over there with your iPhone and your $100+ monthly data bill. I don't roll like that, I'm with Cricket: I always have service, there are tons of nearby locations in the rare event I need to speak with a live person, they have a small selection of phones with a range of prices (free after rebate to almost $450), and the service is affordable!
Have had my account with Cricket for over five years, and I keep my phones until they're beyond dead. My BF had finally had enough of my old-school phone and took me here to get an Android: for $50, it compares to his Samsung 4G LTE (and they have the 5 for sale, too) and my monthly bill is only $45.
Service by Serenna and Daniel was helpful, courteous, and prompt. Due to the age of my phone, they were unable to transfer my contacts but hooked it up with a phone case instead and allowed me time to copy down important phone numbers as needed.
