As many of you know the big 3 mobile phone services (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) are looped in with DEI and censorship. I know for fact that Verizon sponsors the ADL.

There's a few networks I been considering, Patriot Mobile, Puretalk and US Mobile.

I want feedback from everyone that has switched to other services. What are the costs, how is the coverage? thank you

Your need to understand that the smaller cell providers you listed are only buying and then reselling their services from one of the big three which actually carry the calls over their networks.

These carriers are MVNOs. For instance, Tello resells T-Mobile and is significantly more affordable.

I have USMobile. pay between $10 -$17 mo for unlimited talk and text and 2Gb data. I don't see the point of mobile data other than a quick looking up a phone number or something. But sometimes I need a hotspot for work while I'm out and about. Our total phone bill for 3 phones is under $40 / mo.

they use T-Mobile's network and I think they've recently added options for AT&T and Verizon. it's called "a super carrier", I think.

Look at Redpocket as well.

Boost Mobile is an independent carrier.

Boost Mobile uses the networks of AT&T, T-Mobile, and Dish Wireless to provide wireless services. Boost Mobile is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), which means it doesn't have its own cellular network, but instead uses other providers' networks.

I use US Mobile and pay $33/month total for 2 lines. (Verizon network) No complaints about coverage.

Your voices are all probably being recorded for AI purposes!

I uncovered evidence that Skype and Zoom were used to boost AI. It's in the small print.
