I wanted to share some experience I have with different phone companies, seeing as a lot of people here end up in various places and it can be a handy tool.

At&t sucks! They will try to rob you over and over and their coverage isn't good either.

Cricket has good prices but bad coverage and worse phones.

Sprint I never tried out in the woods but they didn't try to rob me. Very nice phones.

Verizon is what I have currently and their coverage is amazing and unlimited. Had only a few small spots where I couldn't get service. Now I pay $73 a month but like I said it's unlimited and the phone only cost me $20 total. It's a Samsung Galaxy J3V and it runs smooth.

Just a thought from me to you.

first off, what does the thread title have to do with the content of this thread? your post reads like some kind of weird spam.

not that all phone companies aren't evil in some way or another, but verizon is actively anti-net neutrality, and also shares your location with law enforcement via an open portal that doesn't require any kind of subpoena or warrant. so yeah, fuck them.

Did not know that, Matt. What happens with the companies that offer service through Verizons system?

Didn't know that either but as long as I get service when I'm in the mountains I'm good. I'm not running drugs, I'm camping.

The title is a quote from Mad Max and it's not boring.

that's nice and all, but the next time you use a bullshit title that has nothing to do with the content of your thread i'm going to give you a warning point.

please don't waste our time like this in the future. i've changed your thread title to something more relevant.

Okay officer Derrick.

we have a right to enforce the rules we've set here long before you ever arrived. if you don't like it you can certainly fuck off somewhere else.

So does AT&T give cops location data? I kinda assumed they all do.

basically, yes. some make it easier than others, like i mentioned with verizon, who basically has an open door policy to anyone with a badge. others require a court order; which ones are which you can find with a bit of google searching.

25$ gets you 3gig at LTE speeds. Then it's capped at 110k download speed. Only talk and text are unlimited. Sorry for the confusion.
