I see ads all the time for shit like consumer Cellular, mint mobile, stuff that rents time on Verizon towers and sells you a plan for like half the price.
I’m trying real hard to de-Xfinity myself but the cellular plan is the cheapest of all the major companies. Yes, I know they also piggyback off the Verizon network, but at least they have 24/7 support
Yeah, they’re fine. I use RedPocket for my daughters phone because it’s like $120 for a whole year of phone service. They’re often better than the ‘pure’ networks because they can fall back to AT&T when T-Mobile is down, etc. Often times they aren’t only on a single network. Hell, Mint was doing so well that T-Mobile ended up buying them (probably to dissolve them, honestly)
