Re: All right Forum, what's your favorite MNVO? - gabester - 12-03-2017
I switched to XFinity Mobile, which uses Verizon. Costs are $12/gb or $45 per line for unlimited data. Gotchas: You have to be an XFinity cable subscriber already; if you cancel your XFinity cable subscription you'll pay an extra $10/device/month. You have to buy a new device from them.
However, I've had great success buying their cheaper android phones - $150-$175 (promotion back in August actually had them "free" for a few weeks) but just using my own unlocked devices including iPhones and Google Nexus devices. Coming from paying $180 for two unlimited Verizon lines so I now pay $53-68 a month depending upon whether my $12/gb data limited lines use more than 100mb but less then 1GB of data for the month.

I wonder if anyone has a "favorite." More likely the one we choose to endure.

We've been happy with Cricket--$80 for two lines, unlimited talk and text, 8GB high speed on one, and 4 on the other.

Why do I get the feeling that I'm the only one that had to look up MNVO?

Not sure what MNVO stands for, but MVNO stands for Mobile Virtual Network Operator. I think hal was alluding to the misspelling.

The wife's phone is on H20Wireless (ATT MVNO) - she doesn't want any data so its $100 per year. She used to use PagePlus ($80/year for light use, no data), but that is Verizon and her latest phone is AT&T hardware.
I am thinking about Cricket (ATT MVNO) when my 6S+ goes off contract in January.

I have used Straight Talk (AT&T) and Boom! (Verizon).
No problems with either. Boom! was slightly cheaper for a 5 GB plan. ST recently increased their 5 GB plan to 8 GB with no price increase.
Don't know if you can get an unlimited plan, though. Part of the reason I switched to a cheap MVNO was because I didn't use a lot of data.
