Verizon is not even being considered. I also would never have an Iphone. (Even though Sprint carries them as well now. I can remember when Sprint
got the contract, and I thought, WHY?)
So far, I have many different options to research. Note: Checked Metro PCS, (mblah's suggestion) and NO coverage in my area. Drats!
I forgot to post this site www.wirefly.com...
You can compare plans for all carriers and they give better deals on phones. I always check here before I use the up-grade on a new phone because I
usually get another $50-$100 off the phone I want versus using the carrier's website.
