I was laid off in December 2025 so my 50% cellular discount ends next month. I also need new phones. T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 18 Pro Max 256GB for $3 a month when you port over from Verizon. Their top tier plan is $150 for two lines (for us over 65). I'm paying Verizon $100 a month now. When my discount drops to 25% it would be the same rate. I don't begrudge Verizon for laying me off, that's just business, but it will be nice to finally wash my hands of them. I wish Verizon and everyone there the best. But I will smile when I see Elon crush them in a couple of years :)

They dont keep track. Ive had the discount over 2.5 yrs
@OP Try Google Fi over T-Mobile. Excellent MVNO model. This ex Vteamer wouldn't steer you wrong...
It’s a shame that Verizon doesn’t improve the retiree phone plan. I am also with T-Mobile. Their top tier plan is cheaper that Verizon with the retiree discount. No issues with coverage.
@ch there you go. Make EVERYTHING political. Get a life
I was with you until you mentioned cheering for Felon.
I’m in southeast and not pleased with T-Mobile. The service is spotty and slow where I am and I’m the most expensive plan. make sure you read the contract bc I fought for months to get the price I was told I would have. Sometimes it was double. Every month I’d call and they’d give me a ton of credits, after 6 m they decided to not give me credits and I was only able to get it down to about 100 more than I was told I would be paying by both the person when we joined and a customer service person a month later
I use usmobile and pay 28/month for two lines. And our phones are paid off. But I don't usually get new phones every other year. Wear mine out . Us mobile uses all 3 carriers so you can pick and chose
depending on how someone views it, elon will transform and disrupt the entire telecommunication market. Tmobile, att, verizon, nobody is safe
