A friendly reminder that isps do NOT care about you or your digital rights. Always best to buy directly from the OEM rather than from the telecommunications (unless you can't afford it). Do proper research before buying a phone!

If you want to be on Verizon, check out Visible. Same network, but way cheaper. Bring your own device or use one of their cheap options.

While this is true, be aware there are drawbacks to 3rd party budget carriers.

The service includes caveats that your traffic lower priority then VZWs so if your on a busy node you may get throttled or temporarily kicked off

I've been using a VMNO for 4 years now, never had an issue.

I used to be Verizon only because of travel for work, and I need it to "just work". I've found NVMO to be no different now.

It's possible in a specific area this could be the case though. Not all areas have the same coverage.
