Wanted to switch Phone Carriers and found a dirty rat and more!

T-Mobile is part of a boycott that kicked off on Sept. 10, headed by the 2025 Stop the Money Pipeline campaign.

Verizon and AT&T are obviously cancer trash too.


Anyone got any good alternatives?
Where is Blue Mobile!?!?!?!

They have several options, with and without hot spots. I get 30 GB for $25 a month. Mg son gets 30 GB with 12 GB hot hot spot for $30 per month. And contrary to what Verizon told me, I have no problem with connection speeds with Boost.

I live 8 miles away from one of the wealthiest towns in the US cell phone service is infamously bad here. I dropped my old carrier, Credo, which uses Verizon and went with Mint and Tracfon. For one quarter the price of my old plan I have one plan and a backup, and better coverage. But both of these use T-mobile. Like a lot of the rural US there are no really good options. At least T-mobile is not getting much of my money.
They are building all of these new million-dollar homes for people from California and there isn't even reliable cellular or internet.
