Been using 2 cell phones for 2 decades on 2 services at any given time, my personal (as well as wife and kids) plus a work supplied phone.
Work, used a Verizon Iphone the last few years, did its job, rugged but never really loved it.
Work just replaced my Iphone with a MOTO G Force, same deal, its ok, FANTASTIC battery life which is good for work, weighs a ton, but does what I need for work, yet would never want it for personal use.
ALSO I HATE, HATE, HATE Verizon branded phones, I hate the [censored] they load onto them, hate it.
Which brings me to my personal cell phone and cell plan for my family.
I use an Alcatel One Touch from Cricket (which is ATT), THE BEST PHONE I HAVE EVER USED, LOVE IT, $100. including activation and delivery to my house, outstanding battery life for a personal cell phone, NICE CLEAN install of Android without all the [censored] the name brand phones come with, unbelievable speakers for a smart phone, in fact there is a utube comparing the sound quality that is second to none, even head to head with the latest iphone.
Anyway, not that you are looking for a cheap phone, just letting people know its out there, never understand why people take out loans to buy a phone. Wow talk about people getting marketed too and giving their income to phone companies when similiar products to the same thing at for almost no money. Not only that, $100 delivered to your door with activation and there is no contract!!! *LOL*
Here is the phone if interested.
