Default Cell phone providers

We live in Dunedin and have Verizon as our cell phone provider but we pay alot for minimal service for just the two of us. Any opinions on other service providers? Cost vs. quality of service? Thanks!

Try Straight Talk available at Walmart. They use the Verizon towers and there is no contract. You will have the same quality of service for much lower price!

Wife and I each have a go phone from at&t...if you don't need a smart phone the cost for us is $25 every 3 months per phone...10cents/min....minutes carry over if you make at least one call in that 3 month period...

We use lg flip phones bought through tracfone. Using this service about three years. Told ATT to take a hike with the rate they wanted to charge us. Never regretted it.
