Most of the carriers, including T-Mobile have pre-paid plans that are a much better deal than their post-paid, and I've had fewer problems with them than MVNOs.

Most of the carriers, including T-Mobile have pre-paid plans that are a much better deal than their post-paid, and I've had fewer problems with them than MVNOs. For example, T-Mobile's less expensive pre-paid plans are:
* $15/month 3GB
* $25/month 6GB
* $35/month 12GB
That is a bit more expensive that Mint, but not insane, and you don't have to prepay for 6-12 months.

- hedora 4y agoIf you go through Metro by T-Mobile, you can get an unlimited plan for $40/month. (four lines for $25 each).
- lotsofpulp 4y agoThe exchange for those lower prices is lower priority. This is a good post (assuming it is true): https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/tn4733/qci_level_explained_2022_march_lower_qci_is_better/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/tn4733/qci_leve... Basically, pay more and you get a higher probability of higher quality connection. Whether or not the difference in cost is worth the difference (real or perceived) in quality of connection is of course, unknown.

- lotsofpulp 4y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_virtual_network_operator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_virtual_network_operato... > A mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) is a wireless communications services provider that does not own the wireless network infrastructure over which it provides services to its customers. T-Mobile owns the wireless network infrastructure, so an MVNO cannot be “by T-Mobile”, in any meaningful sense.
