    After 8 years with T Mobile, I left and signed up with Verizon. So far a much more reliable signal (ie I can use it in my house).

    I ended up saving money. My T Mobile bill was $110 a month. Verizon gave me unlimited talk, unlimited text and 3 GB of data for $60 a month plus tax.

    I get a better signal and save money. Happy!

    How is your Verizon bill so cheap?! Is there only 1 phone in the plan?

    AT&T is giving me roughly the same deal except 2 GB of data. I own an unlocked GSM phone, so Verizon is not an option.

    You can thank T-Mobile Verizon offered that plan.

    Tmobile has 4 lines for 100 USD with unlimited data, text and calls.

    You are going to run out of your 3 GB data unless you never really use it.

    Verizon and ATT does have a better signal in rural areas, but not so sure how much better it is in metro locales like Houston, Atlanta, Vegas.

    How did you get 3 gigs of data for $60? They just lowered their 2 gig plan to $60 last week.

    T-Mobile always struck me as a little low rent, seemed like they were using Zeta-Jones to deflect from limited quality or service. Sprint's customer and on-site service is antagonistically bad but they invest in enough in their network that you don't have to deal with them too often.

    I always wanted to switch to ATT/Verizon back then when I had Tmobile because of lack of coverage but ever since the simple plan came out I've been loving it. We pay 80 for 4 lines with unlimited talk/text/data with a 1gb data limit before they throttle the 4gLTE. Also Tmobile offers a signal booster for your home if you need one. It's free of charge but you have to return it back if you decide to leave Tmobile.

    Love Verizon, but it is expensive as hell. Around $175 a month for two lines, unlimited talk and text, and 8 GB data. With the occasional data overage fee once every few months or so. And that's after saving 19% (off of a portion of the cost) with my company discount.

    I'm actually thinking about switching from AT&T. Right now with a 4 line family plan, where 2 of those are non-smartphones, my phone bill runs about $200 per month.

    I am still not sure how the OP is saving money by switching from T-Mobile to Verizon. I didn't think it was possible unless perhaps you are getting a barebone verizon package compared to unlimited everything from T-Mobile.

    Can never be with Verizon. Because of their CDMA network, you are stuck with a limited selection of phones. Too many great devices out there that will never be on Verizon.

    I use ATT for my phone, but just recently signed up with Verizon for an ipad. I am paying monthly to own the ipad + my data plan. It comes out to about $60 a month. Very happy with that. So far, the service has been good.
