Great discussion. I've been someone who, the last couple years, has been bouncing around to different carriers to get out of paying Verizon's ridiculous monthly family plan of about $150. After about 10yrs with them and getting married and on family plan, I finally switched us both to Straight Talk when I bought my Nexus 4 and my wife on Iphone. Sure, we paid like $90, but the service/data/signal was the WORST. Then, I switched us both to TMobile family plan and was about $95 and lived with that for about a year here in Atlanta. Signal around town was 90% ok, but travelling to both our parents houses in MD and MI proved that TMO sucked. Yea, we only travel a couple times a year, but during those times, I NEED signal!!
So, last November, I switched us both back to Verizon and sucked it up for $145 family plan and I bought a Moto X 2014 and my wife a Note 4.
Signal has been awesome, but I'm searching to lower our monthly bill and have been looking into PF for us, esp now that I just ordered a Nexus 6P
I'm a low cell user, like you guys, home/work is 100% WiFi and occasional cell when outside in the city for dinner/errands/etc. My wife on the other hand is a FB "nut" (LOL) and travels around the city a lot for her cleaning business. She still uses WiFi whenever she can, like home of course.
She uses about 2-3GB, while I'm like 1.5GB a month.
Like you guys said, is it worth just signing up for the lowest 1GB and let PF just charge us for anything over? I could see my wife maybe signing up for the 2GB plan easy, but me prob 1GB and see what happens.
Interested in hearing from people who's had PF for at least a couple months and have gone over, their thoughts. Thanks!!
