OT: Cell Phone Providers

[mt_slothmore]

Wife & I are currently with Verizon...pay roughly $170/month for 10gb of shared data, unlimited talk & text, etc... Does this sound pretty normal? I know you get what you pay for with Verizon, but was thinking of looking into US Cellular and see if I can get a better deal through them. Would be happy if I could get even a comparable plan for $140 or $150. Live in Kearney so AT&T, T-Mobile & Sprint really aren't options...it's pretty much US Cellular, Verizon & Viaero

I've actually heard great things about Viaero for Nebraska, not Omaha or Lincoln.

I've had US Cellular for about 18 years and love it. Lived by McCook and North Platte and have good service.

I'm not sure what our price is as I've always been part of a group plan of 3-6 phones with my siblings and parents, but I love getting the phones for one cent (just got my new Galaxy S6 on the Black Friday sale for a penny).

Looking at their website, the normal shared 10GB plan (15GB right now for new customers?) with unlimited talk and text is $70/month. You will then pay an additional $40 per phone for their connection charge.

That totals $150 a month for what you are looking for... and right now they have great phones for a penny...


Currently three of my brothers and dad have Viaero and like it too. I am not sure of their prices, but I'm sure they are on their website as well.

Popular phones for a penny right now for a new 2-year contract include:
iPhone 6
Galaxy S6
LG G4
iPhone 5S

Myself, I prefer a 2-year contract as we (knock on wood) don't tend to have any issues losing or damaging phones and they easily last two+ years. When we can get a new phone after two years, we always get wait for the penny deals and upgrade.

I went to Viaero's website to see their plans.

For 2 lines:
8GB plan is $100 a month and 12GB is $110 (Doesn't make sense as it was $40 and $50 individual per respected plan)
Galaxy S6's are on special for $19.83 right now.

That's $139.66 or $149.66 for two phones and a plan like what you are looking for.

(I'm sure that doesn't include taxes)


Both have very good coverage maps for your area.
