We're contemplating new phones (5G) or keeping these and obviously getting a new plan. Do the 5G phones get acceptable signals in TV? And if so, which carrier is the best? We also spend some time time up north where the Verizon 5G is very localized. Also, we have Xfinity at both locations (:loco:) and they have a very low cost monthly plan. We use very low data on our phones; normally less than 1GB. Cellular One seems to have decent plans and inexpensive 5G phones as well. Advice on plans and phones are appreciated.

================
I've been with Cellular One for at least ten years and get the AARP Discount (not much but adds up). I have always gotten reception - even out in the country in VA in my basement where I used for work conference calls.
We have two Apple phones and pay $53 a month for an adequate plan. When you go over your plan, mostly on data, they automatically bump you up to the next plan so you don't pay high usage costs and they warn you when close the limit and that they have increased your plan but you have to remember to bump it back down. We usually don't go over unless we are traveling. You can change plans any time and there is no contract. You can buy all kinds of phones through at about the same price as a store but you get AARP discount and can pay over time without interest. If your phone accepts the right SIM card to convert to their system, they have that too.
The best part is their customer service. The few times I've called, they have been very responsive and I spoke to someone that speaks English very well.
As for 5G, I've not paid attention. Pretty sure not using but they have it. I think they use AT&T towers. We don't do all the streaming stuff on our phones like a lot of people but find it adequate for checking email and browsing the web. We use a lot for map apps when traveling and don't have a problem with reception.
They are putting in two stores in TV. Under construction but not sure of the completion date.
