We've been with Sprint/Tmobile for 25 years. Coverage is good in most places but not as good as Verizon, or so I keep hearing. Overall we're happy with the coverage and pricing. 4 phones with unlimited minutes and data are $150 month on the 55+ plan with military discount. Great deal in my opinion.

Ooops, a typo - MVNO.

We have 3 phones on our plan for $69.11/mo. Unlimited calls & texts, 10 GB shared data. We have 5G coverage in most areas on the T-mobil network. Unlimited data is available for $20 more per month. We have never used over 5 GB data in a month. Our plan is with Consumer Cellular. You can choose a SIM card from AT&T or T-Mobil. AARP gets a 5% discount. No contract. One other thing to think about is porting your phone number. Most companies will port for free There's no fee to transfer your number to T-Mobile, and it gets even better! With Carrier Freedom​, T-Mobile will pay early termination fees or device payments for up to five lines that are currently under a postpaid contract with AT&T or Verizon.

thanks to all,

We've been on TMobile for what seems like ever. We are on the military plan, however even the 55+ plan is almost the same - bottom line on TMobile it doesn't get any lower than $40 a line and yes they pay my netflix account of which the transfer of who is paying Netflix was easy and seamless.

I have TMobile for personal phone and Verizon for work phone and I have had far better service from TMobile.

hope that helps

I'm in Fenney and switched to T-Mobile when I moved here 3+ years ago.
1. The signal is very good including 5G. This appears to be true around the Villages.
2. The price is good: $70 all in including taxes.
Includes MLB (as it has for several years)
Includes Netflix (one device at a time)
3. Very good if you travel to Europe and other areas.
Unlimited texting and data in 210+ countries & destinations.
No international data-roaming charges
It was great on a cruise when you get into port, T-Mobile welcomes you.
4. T-Mobile Tuesday app. Each week, T-Mobile offers you discounts on different items.
1. Every week: 10 cents off a gallon of Shell
2. Discounts on hotels and car rentals.
3. Fast food: This weed was a free Breakfast Baconator with purchase at Wendys.

That's all I can think of... Hope it helps.

I’ve had the T-Mobile 55 plan tor about 5 years … it’s unlimited talk text & data on 2 lines! It’s a great plan and I have great service! Customer service is wonderful also!

Does MVNO work overseas and what if you have AT&T is it restricted to T-mobile network

I have been on Verizon's 55+ plan for many years and pay $40 a month per line plus taxes for unlimited everything.

I've had similar experiences with ATT. As snowbirds we need coverage everywhere and VZ does it. We are on the 55+ plan with taxes our bill is about $94.88 each month. When we first signed up this past winter we also received 3 months free of Discovery+

An MVNO is a reseller of network services. They buy chunks of service from the big guys, Verizon, ATT, TMobile and resell it.

Mint Mobile, which uses the T-Mobile network, works overseas. Check their website for the list of countries. You need to add money to your account, via their website, for roaming charges.

T-Mobil is Deutsche Telecom, a German company. It thus works perfectly in Europe. We have had it for years. Two phones unlimited data, $70 / month.

I switched my family plan to T-Mobile 4 years ago. Pay $147 for 8 lines including free Netflix. Taxes and fees included. I did get 2 of those lines on a BOGO promotion. I needed another line 2 weeks ago but am maxed out so I got the prepaid T-Mobile Connect for $15/month + fees. However if you I use a T-Mobile gift card to prepay then no taxes and fees.

Loved using it overseas. Free data was usable. On occasion I got 4G speeds.

I use WiFi calling at home since reception isn't great near Savannah Center. Reception in The Villages has improved compared to 4 years ago. I expect it will continue to get better.
