At&t may be cheaper but that old saying you get what you pay for is true when comparing ATT to Verizon if verzion is truly unlimited. AT&T is unlimited as long as you dont use AT&T unlimitly! If they feel your using their service alot they will disconnect your service and take what ever money you have on your account. Yes you read it correctly TAKE not REFUND!
Im just saying with AT&T’s “LIMITED” unlimted service why pay more? You might aswell go with a cheaper service like MetroPCS, Boost etc…. if one is going to deal with ATT CRAPPY restrictions! I haven’t had verzion cell service but $20 more is nothing if their service is truly unlimited.

Straight Talk is the best prepaid service around HANDS DOWN! $45 for Unlimited texts and calls, plus you get amazing coverage with it being on the Verizon network. I got my phone from Walmart and couldn’t be happier. More people need to know about this wonderful plan, it is just too good of a deal to pass up!

You also have to understand, and this is from my personal experience, AT&T wether a gophone of contract has alot better coverage than verizon. I started with a prepaid verizon phone, and i live in new orleans, and my signal quality was crud, and as soon as i switched to a contract i have a good signal. Recently i moved, and got absolutly no signal because i moved to the countryside, so i switched to AT&T gophone, and havent been anywhere on the entire eastern seaboard that i can get a signal… even 7 miles out in the ocean. They really need to reserch their “Maps” better.

Att Pick your plans have a hybrid network that is between the skeletal Gophone paygo network (which their unlimited talk/text $60 plan runs on) and the more full figured regular postpaid Att network.

Verizon prepaid has all their plans run on the prepaid version of Verizon’s network but they do allow roaming at 20 cents a minute. Not an option with Att Paygo or unlimited talk/text.

Also, the Verizon monthly plans DO have unlimited nights, weekends and Verizon to Verizon mobile.

Overall, the Pick Your Plans coverage approach Verizon prepaid much more then their daily access/paygo plans do.

Verizon prepaid offsets its network advantages by conceding the phone advantage to Att. Verizon prepaid does not allow any smartphone or html browser device, which are increasingly numerous and desirable.

Att Gophone does allow any Att or gsm unlocked phone, though their new orange/white gophone sim simlocks to one phone for six months after actiation. And you have to fiddle with the iphone sometimes to get it on the Att prepaid network.
