There's a lot of talk (and advertising) about how tmobile is a better choice than AT&T or Verizon. Coverage and locked bootloaders aside, I don't see how the math adds up to save someone with 2 lines money?
We have 10gb on verizon, 2 lines, with 2 edge payments. Thats $80+15+15+25+25 = $160. No crazy grandfathered plan, just an off the shelf regular plan. I also get a discount on the data, which brings the total to $144 + taxes
On tmobile 2 lines (each with 3gb) is $100 + 2 phone payments ($25 each) or $150 + taxes and fees.
I could easily get my pre-discount verizon price to below $150 if I cut back to 6gb.
I have 0 carrier loyalty. I'd switch tonight if I would save a reasonable amount of money (although I have tried cricket and straight talk on AT&T's network and got a ton of dropped calls). Am I really bad at math, or is verizon actually cheaper for a family that doesnt need more than 10gb of data per month?
