Good to know. I wasn’t aware of this, as I had looked at the Google thing a while back while searching for an alternative for one of the boy’s phone plans. And Mitch - the Spectrum plan allows tethering, at least I don’t see anything in the agreement that doesn’t permit it. That’s what I’ll be

Yes, $34/mo is very good for unlimited. Fantastic if they allow tethering. I could use something like that to replace my home internet if I can tether it, or if the SIM card will work in a hotspot. I wonder if the data gets throttled if you go over a usage cap. The MNVO I'm with was

The Spectrum plan is unlimited talk and text, $14/month per gig, or you can go unlimited for $34/month. And they piggyback on Verizon, so our coverage is no different that if we were still on Verizon, who has by far the best network down here and in most other places, too. -D > On Aug 30,

Nothing you can't get from other MNVOs who likely don't make it a standard business practice to sell your call logs. $20 a month, free talk and text, plus $10 for each GB is inherently inferior to the following Tracfone plans, for example: $20/mo for talk and text plus one GB, unlimited

You can only use the Pixel or select Motorola phones, all of which are fairly expensive. Spectrum (Charter in other parts of the world) is offering phone service now. I can BYOD and it costs me $14/mon per LTE gig, nothing else. Most of what I do is with wifi, so right now I’m into the billing
