My employer pays for my Verizon plan so no phone bill for me :)

Big fan of MVNO's previously, but we moved to a more congested area (from a more rural area) and they just can't offer the speeds we need due to all the deprioritization. Data's almost unusable in some parts here.

The wife traded in her iPhone 11 for a 13PM and got ~$800 off with AT&T. She was using AT&T prepaid previously @ $60 a month (Top plan with AT&T prepaid does not have deprioritization) and when she got the 13PM, switched to a postpaid plan for $68. She's now stuck in that plan for another 2 years, but overall is happy with her service.

MVNO's are great if they work well in your area. But there's nothing like a dedicated line

My wife and I are in the suburbs, we previously had Visible and had no complaints about the price. But the speeds were atrocious, it always took forever for anything to load.

This was a couple years back when we both had iPhone 11's. I think anything having to do with Verizon may just be poor in this area. I'm still on Verizon and the wife is on AT&T. She no longer complains about speed issues. I now have an iPhone 14 Pro, she has the 13 ProMax.

I dunno about the 5G hype…. I’ve had a couple of 5G phones now and it seems like the speeds are about the same if not….. slower?

Sure speed tests reveal some promising results, but the time it takes to load webpages or videos is disgustingly longer than it should be.

Maybe thats just Verizon for you 🤷‍♂️

I've used Edison mail since forever. On IOS it's called Email - Edison Mail. I use it for 5 different emails and love it. Never had any problems.

They're pretty serious about privacy and specifically state that all emails are fetched from your phone and stored on your device directly.

I never knew that it would send periodic updates about your location. That's actually pretty sweet and definitely will most certainly provide me with some peace of mind in the event of an emergency which I hope never happens. -Knocks on wood-

Glad you're doing well and could share OP!
