I bought 3 moto g's and on the day they arrived switched the entire family to tmobile. I had enough of Verizon and now my bill is $100 a month. Can't beat that.

I would like to leave VZ too, but I'm simply too afraid that the coverage will not be there on tmobile and at&t - and especially I need to consider the WAF.

I understand. Coverage was what kept me on VZ for 10 years. What finally got to me was the fact that when I'm overseas I can just swap a sim and T-mobile's coverage has been improving exponentially.

depending on the plan, on tmobile, you don't even have to swtich the sim. they have international calls included.

I'd like to do that. Which plan?

Standard family plan. No contract!

Spotty service coverage but can't beat the price.

There's only one family plan on the T-Mobile site now, called Simple Choice. It's $80/mo for 2 lines with unlimited talk + text + web (500MB at 4G per phone then slower speed), and $10/mo for each line after that. There's no contract or credit check, and you either bring your phone or buy one from them -- unsubsidized but payment plans available.

For $30 per month per line (no contract), there's also:

100 minutes talk, unlimited text, first 5 GB at up to 4G speeds.

Plan is only available for devices purchased from Wal-Mart or devices activated on T-Mobile.com.
