i don't deal well with customer service anymore. i prefer to do everything online and voice calls are minimal. i use the maps and internet (although on wifi much of the time, unless i'm driving or public place), so dropped calls arent' a big thing. verizons service has really started to suck. (sometimes, i'll get the 35 text messages that people have been sending me for the last week all in one big dump, i routinely get failed messages that sometimes go through and sometimes don't) so, i can't see paying $100/mo when i can go to $30/mo for slightly lesser service.
i'll have to check out google fi also, although the sprint network scares me.
@satchel do they charge on mms like sprint does? when my old job switched a bunch of managers to sprint, our bills went from $175 (with verizon) to $450 (with sprint) because their "coverage" was all roaming. i could make it 10 minutes out of town east or west and then my phone went to roaming. and when work reports got emailed (pre starlink, so all my internet was on the phone) every half hour, even though it might only be 1kb of info, it billed at 1mb of info.
