<prompt> Human: My ATT sentence is up in October, so Im looking at other options for my wife and I. Right now we are on a 4-person plan with my parents and paying 86mo for our contribution to the plan. But I feel like more fat can be trimmed.Im looking at Ting, Cricket, and TMobile prepaids 30 plan. What do you use? How many phones, how much data, and how much per month?  <response>: Check out rNoContract for information on prepaid and postpaid plans that do not require you to sign up for 2 years.Depending on where you liveprimarily use your phone will depend on what service provider to go for.Check out these websites if you are thinking about changing providers to get a sense of what kind of service you will be getting: RootMetrics OpenSignal SensorlyT-Mobile also has a test drive program They will send you an iPhone 5s to use for free for a week. Use it as much as you can in that week in as many places in your city as you can at as many times of day as you can to get a feel.A lot of people recommend the 30 prepaid plan from T-Mobile. I tried it and it didnt work for me. I need way more than 100 minutes a month since I am on call at home often, and I found reloading minutes to be an inconvenience.Also, check to see if your employer or your parents employer offers a discount. When I was on Sprint, my employer had a 22 discount with them--and thats the only reason I was on Sprint.Currently, were on ATT, an the reason were there is because my SOs employer offers a 14 discount.
