One thing to consider. Google's Project Fi, while having limited phones, has excellent and reasonable plans for how mobile phones should work. You don't really pay for overages, you just buy blocks of 1GB of data ($10/GB), unused bits of that GB are prorated and roll into the next month, the phone coverage is a combination of T-Mobile, Sprint and I think U.S. Cellular and Wi-Fi. You can change your prepaid data allocation at any time, there's no contract. My base phone bill every month is $30 ($20 for service and $10 for 1GB of data) x 2 so $60/mo. If you choose to pay for your phone over 2 years it costs the same as buying the phone (they don't charge interest or anything else). Voicemail uses google voices transcription tech, etc. We switched a while ago from Verizon, got a Nexus 6P (I think the Pixels are next in line), and the coverage has been about the same. Call quality is a smidge lower though. And oddly for Google, support has been very good, you talk to humans, they're friendly and answer quickly. Management of the line is done through the user's google account and is very straightforward. http://www.theverge.com/2015/4/22/8469571/google-fi-pricing-verizon-att-sprint-tmobile http://www.theverge.com/2015/4/22/8469571/google-fi-pricing-...
