Depends where you are but had stellar service here. AT&T was a fiasco here and expensive
I'm on the T-Mobile Magenta plan for people over 55 its cheap and has worked well for me.
I just fired google fi that uses the tmobile network and switched to ATT. My bill went down $50 and everyone (5) got new Apple 16 phones for $0. Coverage has been trash with tmobile, but international always worked well. TBD on my international judgement with ATT but no plans in the next 12 months.
Absolutely US Mobile can't be beat
Best part is when you have US Mobile, if he is unhappy with T-Mobile, will a click of his mouse she can switch to anyone of the other two. Actually as many times as he wants he can switch around.
(as far as T-Mobile service, its just as good as the other two)

Unless on premium, its $2 after the first 2 but yep
Yes, you are correct. But $2 for a click of a mouse to switch providers is terrific in my view.

For fun I want to switch my US Mobile Verizon to US Mobile ATT jsut to see how it works but I most likely never will, our service works just fine.
IN our new home here on the coast, we had T-Mobile and it was fine. I canceled T-Mobile after they stopped grandfathering in prices and raised our price, they also no longer allowed us to use a credit card and had to switch to a debit card. We had them for two years, first time in a LONG time we used a legacy cell provider. The plan was Magenta 55+ wasnt a bad deal at the time AND they gave us two new iPhones 13s in exchange for our older iPhones. Before this two year stint we ALWAYS used MVNOs and NEVER had a problem and boy, my wife and I use our phones a lot LOL
Then went to US-MOBILE based on a recommendation in here by someone and chose Verizon service but also had the option to choose ATT or T-Mobile, first time in my very long life of having Verizon. Previously we always chose ATT using MVNOs (red pocket and a long time ago also straight talk) Redpocket still a great deal but US Mobile even better. To this day my now adult daughter continues with RedPocket.
Anyway, for anyone thinking about it, Im not sure what to think about choosing either company. If you dont like it, just switch. There is no contract. My god, we pay ACTUAL payment $33 total payment for two lines. 12GB of high speed, if it runs out I have auto top off set up which is only a couple times a year of up to $10 more. Most of our usage is at home on Wifi.
They are what's known as a MNVO. Per Google: "An MVNO, or Mobile Virtual Network Operator, is a company that sells mobile services, but doesn't own the network infrastructure it uses. They lease network capacity from licensed mobile network operators (MNOs) like T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T. Think of it as a retailer selling products on someone else's shelf."
There are tons of NMVO's, like Mint, Consumer Celular, and my favorite, Red Pocket. Many times, the MNVO will allow you to pick what network you would like to use. With Red Pocket, the best deal currently, is with ATT, where you get a little more data, compared to Verizon. Either which way, these services are typically way cheaper than going with the big hardware providers themselves.
Regarding what MNO to go with, there are various signal strength maps that can help figure out what cell towers are local to your area.
If you travel out of the USA, to Europe for example, T-Mobile is amazing. Data, voice, messaging, etc. works just like it does here. No additional charges for data and messages, and just 25 cents a minute for voice (there is no charge for a WiFi call).

Plus their CS is second to none. And their prices are fantastic right now, especially with ATT coming online for them.

Redpocket has Verizon, ATT, and Tmobile.
still have google fi. (tmob towers) its quite adequte but they keep getting more grinchy and raising prices.
probably move eventually.
Now you need unlimited plus plan to get any decent phone discount and they try to do 2 years "phone credits" type promos.
my basic unlimited plan is now 100$ for 3 lines.. used to be 80 for 4 lines.
You can get pixel 9a's for $249 right now with only restriction of 120days of activated service on new phone.. that might be attractive to some.
Its very disgusting that 128GB to 256GB upgrade is $100 since cost on that is $20? or less.

Just traveled to 10 countries. Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Crete, etc. T-Mobile is absolutely great if you travel. Coverage in the U.S. is far superior to any other carrier as well.
Take a look at TELLO. Cheap, and they ride on T Mobile. I've had it for 2 years.
