What are some value adds to using T-Mobile over AT&T?

I was not expecting to save much money by switching to T-Mobile. I was surprised to come out a bit higher.
That's surprising. We save over $200 a month on T-Mo versus our AT&T plan. Is it worth it? I guess, but just barely, and mostly only because we don't use our phones much except while traveling.

The screenshot above are my actual numbers and what I assume to be the best rate I can do on T-Mobile.

Are you maybe not on iPhones? We've had great luck on iPhones. With Android I've had those issues with every service.

1 iPhone 6 Plus, 2 iPhone 6s, and 1 5S on my plan.

Strange. I know that each of our phones acts very differently but our reliability on TMobile, especially around the city, has been excellent.

Wow - how many lines do you have on there? Save $200+ a month, Jared's bill isn't even $200/month.

Verizon has gotten cheaper recently but not by much. We have 6 phones and 3 mifi packs and it's about $400/month for 20 gigs data.

4 lines. I had an iPad on the ATT plan too but ditched that as part of the move.
Our new plan is only $125 for unlimited everything though. Pretty ridiculously cheap. If only the service wasn't abysmal.

2 Phones (one on Edge plan) x Unlimited Talk & Text, 1 Tablet, 10G of data, and my Phone bill is about $195 a month.
I could probbaly shrink the data back a bit, since we haven't been using that much latley... Without the edge payment, my phone bill would be around $160.
-
I wish I could shrink our data. And I do some months but when traveling I have to keep it up there. Cause we go through it fast.

What carrier is that?

Sorry to hear that. We will see how my experience is now that my old phone is dead and a new one is on its way. Every new phone means a new roll of the dice as far as... well everything. So maybe I will get bad service this time.

@scottalanmiller It's Verizon.

That would do it. Same kind of pricing that I was seeing when on Verizon. I was with them for forever. Got my account in 1992 and kept it until 2013. Twenty one years on the same account. When they introduced the "loyal customer $30 penalty" I turned around, walked out and went right to TMobile and have never felt any "leaving a long trusted vendor" was ever so good. I've been so thrilled with my phone situation ever since doing that.
-
$30 Loyalty Customer fee? Is that a line item, or are you talking about the $30 activation charge when you upgrade your phone?

Nope, it was a line item. I was like " a LOYALTY FEE!!!!". And out the door I went.
-
@scottalanmiller Wow... I'll be watching for that on my next bill!
-
It wasn't a monthly fee, it was at the time to re-up.
