One line , unlimited talk and text. 2 GB data.
No complaints since leaving Verizon 2 years w.

the t mobile senior plan is 30 dollars per phone, that includes all taxes.
Unlimited EVERYTHING, data, text, etc.

and the only periodic dead zone I can find is when driving by the prison.

I switched from AT&T and have been saving $55 a month for the last 9months. Had very few out of area while driving and as I moved it came back. I had similar problems with AT&T so don't know if the same place, but not an inconvenience.

We had Sprint for many years. In Orlando, they worked great. When we moved here, we had no coverage at our house???? We finally switched to Cricket. Zero problems, economical, and has coverage in Mexico and Canada with no extra fees. Check them out. There is a Cricket store on 441 near Spanish Springs.

Check out Xfinity Mobile. I was a lifelong Verizon user but after doing a bit of homework I found Xfinity to be just as good with service as well as dramatically lower in price. Used to pay more than $80 for 2 lines with 2 GB of data. Now I'm on their by-the-gigabyte plan and we used less that 1 GB per month and I have been paying (taxes included) a little over $14 per month. Yes, you saw that right, $14 per month. Not, I also have a triple play with Comcast (Cable TV, WiFi and a home phone VOIP) which give me an additional discount of $10 but if you're not with Comcast then you will pay an additional $10 per. Still a great price.

Sprint has been acquired by t-mobile. Both have spotty reception. My wife had t-mobile and while price was good, service was not. We have two phones with Verizon and are quite satisfied. Great coverage as many have pointed out.

We saved $80/month going to Xfinity for 2 lines and almost unlimited data if you have xfinity internet

Sprint has been bought by T Mobile, so coverage will greatly improve. That said I have T Mobile everything senior plan now at $30.00 per month. Have driven cross country several times with only 2 dead zones, one in Kansas and one in Utah, both covered by no one, otherwise no problems. Since the 2 companies will merge soon, don't think you can go wrong with switching and taking advantage of the 2 phone deal you mentioned. T Mobile has excellent service and 2 stores here in the Villages. If you're a veteran T Mobile gives you an additional discount, see if Sprint does as well. I'd go for it before they drop that deal

we switched from Verizon to Xfinity on all our phones, kept the same number went from around $90 per month to $12 per Gigabite of data with Xfinity with 2 lines our bill is either $14.95 to $28.50 at the highest this is for 2 lines and I am loving it, have not seen any difference in service since Xfinity uses Verizon’s towers, however you have to be an Xfinity customer for Data. There is a Xfinity store on the small center at the corner of 441 and Rolling Acres road. I am saving A lot every month and ENJOYING IT!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure if Data is important to you...............but most vendors will slow the speed down after X gig used. Check into this if you are a data user.

I switched to Sprint and after 9 months of terrible service I paid hundreds of dollars to go back to Verizon. My data was so slow that I had to ask my girlfriend if I could use her phone. When I called Sprint they would put me to the top of some kind of priority list for data and for about a day I would have data. Then I was throttled back to a spinning wheel on my screen. When I tried to cancel my service they would place me on hold for a long time and then "accidentally" disconnect my call. This happened 7 times in a row taking several hours. Finally I got a very nice lady who knew what I was going through and explained how bad things were in Sprint.

AT&T and Verizon are great but they're the most expensive the last time I checked.

Other perks of T-Mobile are - Netflix for free and texting on some airlines.

By any chance did you have a Network Extender in your home with Verizon? It is a Mini Tower. If so did that Extender work with Xfinity? It says it does work on the internet in several articles but I trust you more than them. I have one phone that can be switched to Xfinity now but am holding up because of the circumstances.

I wish you luck CoffeeBean.
