Options: Switching for Verizon to Other Mobile Providers

For laid off people leaving Verizon, we had a thread on this (link below).
It was a good thread, with 20+ responses.

Here is a summary.

T-Mobile / TMO

Regular plans cheaper than Verizon even with Verizon employee discount
Promo for current and former Verizon employees: 2 months free service and free phones, code: VZEX (through sales reps)
Costco / Sams Club T-Mobile deals: about 450 dollars in gift cards per line when signing up
Several people report good network quality and paying less than with Verizon
In Florida, one person reports faster network and no dead spots with Starlink feature
One commenter is joining a T-Mobile family plan via active duty military daughter to save money

Tello

Used as a cheap line for kids
Around 100 minutes plus unlimited texts for under 10 dollars per month
Has unlimited plans, described as the cheapest the commenter has seen

Visible

One person planning to sign up, likes the site and the value on Verizon network
Another has a 20 dollar per month plan and had no issues
Note: Visible is owned by Verizon, which reduces the stick it to Verizon satisfaction

US Mobile

Prepaid: 10 dollars per month for unlimited talk, text, and 2 GB data
Extra data: 4 dollars per additional 2 GB
Has unlimited data plans as well
You can choose to use Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile network
Another deal: if you pay in advance, about 25 dollars per month per line on Verizon or other networks

Helium Mobile

App based carrier
Three plans: Free, 15 dollars per month, and 30 dollars per month for unlimited everything
Likely a T-Mobile reseller
Instant new number or option to port your existing number

Spectrum Mobile

Uses Verizon network plus its own WiFi offload
Around 30 dollars per month with taxes included

Cricket Wireless

Uses AT&T network, suggested as an option
Cheap but no details

@a6 when the kicked us to the curb I ported out 8 lines including air cards to AT&T. Didn't want big red to get any more of my money

@e5 phones are unlocked after 60 days; you'll still owe but you can bring them to any carrier, do an imei check to be sure

@a2 ummm, you’re still here commenting. 😂🤨

@e5 do the keep and switch on t-mobile up to 4 lines, you get a visa card to payoff the old phones at your old carrier ask a tmo employee on it

Any idea what happens if we have phones we owe $$$ on if we leave? How about after a year if we stay when EPP goes away?

But this is a company that doesn't play fair with their own employees. A company that lets leadership unfairly retaliate on people and call it legal. And the Employee Discount? Yeah, T-Mobile offers a 75% Employee Discount in comparison to Verizon and 30%, but to a Employee that was abused and fired after he trusted, that Employee Discount is more like a bo-b to your credit. And they don't play by state employment rules. So seeing that T-Mobile built this site....
Hi Denise... Hi David...

This really feels like a company self pleasuring itself in front of former Verizon employees that have other things to worry about then a phone.

And most people can read between the lines so take this bird when you leave this page with you.

Well. 15 Birds. Take these 15 Birds with you.

@a2 it’s related to layoffs. If one is laid off, why continue giving their hard-earned money to the same company that kicked them to the curb!?!?

Switched 9 lines over to TMobile today! (Includes watches)

Layoff site. Move on
