I currently use a Light Phone II through US Mobile. It’s not working out, however, because my phone randomly loses service and can’t access any of the data i’m paying for.
I’m trying to find another carrier that’s not super expensive, and it seems like my options are US Mobile (doesn’t work) or Tello (i don’t like their privacy policy).
Things like them having access to all details about my contacts, keystrokes and cursor movements on their site, tracking for ads, etc.
Are there any carriers with plans cheaper than LP’s $25/month that don’t do the above stuff that Tello does?
I’m also considering the Light Phone’s own plan, since it should definitely work with my phone. I’m just hesitant because it’s 2.5 times the price of my current plan.
Check out USMobile.
They’re a VMNO but they use every network.
At home I get LTE, when I leave I’m immediately on Verizon 5G. I’ve travelled across the US and watched it change from ATT to Verizon as I went, often on 5G.
I pay ~$25/mo for 2 lines with 4GB data. You can probably cut it a little since you don’t need data.
Alternatively check out jmp.chat - I use them so my SMS gets piped into XMPP, but it’s also really cheap (less than $10/mo) and adding voice minutes is crazy cheap, like tenths of a cent per minute or something. Minutes/data don’t expire - you can use as many minutes/data as you have money for in your account (again, it’s so cheap that I don’t care it’s a pay first setup) and it can auto-bill if you run out of credits (if you choose to).
Not sure how I missed that USMobile doesn’t work for you, sorry.
Check out jmp.chat - they’ve been great.
