I know it’s a broad question, but I currently have T-Mobile and the price is alright but I have an iPhone 11 and looking to get a 16 Pro Max for myself and a 16 Pro. But, T-Mobile has mentioned it will mean an increase in my plan from $89 a month, for my current 2 iPhone 11’s and 2 Apple watches, to $180 monthly for 5G.

But, I’m getting older, so less deal savvy, not to mention aware of all the current cellphone carriers or what’s a deal these days… I would appreciate if anyone here could share their thoughts or recommendations on the matter. Seeing in the past, theres a large pool of wisdom hidden in here. TIA.

    Just wanted to add that you do get deprioritized over TM, so it might be slow especially in crowded places (i.e. concerts).

        I can’t speak to 5G but my Mint 4G service was non-existent when I was at a concert. It was otherwise great the other 99.99% of the time fwiw. Been a user for ~7 years

          Follow-up question: When you say 4G service was non-existent, did your phone show you had four bars but no messages would go through, or was it more like you had one bar / no service?

            Cannot recall. Just remember that texts/calls were impossible so I couldn’t link up w/ people I was looking for.
