i need some non-bullshit advice on getting a new phone with the On-Us deal with the iPhone 11. you guys seem to be more helpful than other things and calling verizon would be the next best thing but i would get some pretty biased info. i just need to figure out if it’s really 0.00$ for phone + $≈≈.≈≈ unlimited plan = $≈≈.≈≈ and which unlimited plans are eligible. the website isn’t helpful at all.



Thanks NS,

This.


Also pretty sure you have to be 18 to sign a contract.

Go with mint mobile, don't get fucked over by Verizon by paying a shit ton with only one line or if you go slightly over data.

I get 4gb of highspeed 4/5g for like 20 bucks a month. If I go over it just slows down, or I can spend 10 bucks for another gigabyte

Not great if you live in an area with bad coverage, they run off of weaker towers from Verizon, sprint, T-Mobile and at&t

Eh. I live in an area with poor coverage. There's some spots that don't work. Nothing else usually works there either. It's fine. I've driven from the U.P. all the way to Idaho and I have service less...but about as much as anyone who has Verizon. I'm okay with not being connected to everything all of the time. Especially at the cost.

Like, I pay 1/3 of the price, and sometimes, when I'm out doing remote shit, like hiking, or biking, I don't get 4g. Big whoop.

Verizon service is mids by me. I just got a new phone not too long ago and I’m starting to question whether or not AT&T is better aside from having more service in the mountains.
