I’ve been using T-Mobile for about a decade now, ever since flying back from some trip and seeing that WiFi was free if I had T-Mobile, then finding out I’d get half off for being a veteran. My mom wanted to keep Verizon though, so with my work discount we just kept it in my name. It worked out for her and at the time I think she was paying about $40 for 2 GB and then unlimited talk & text. Fast forward a decade and that plan kept going up, with essentially the excuse of “if you want to keep this legacy plan, there’s a fee”. It now cost about $62 a month and anytime she went over on data another $15. This week I checked into what an unlimited plan would cost and with autopay and the veteran discount, plus taxes and fees I was able to get her at around $61.50. It isn’t the fastest 5G (according to the Verizon page) but for what she uses her phone for, I think it will work just fine.

Also, right now Owen and I are hanging out at a nearby coffee shop - I’m doing this and reading on my iPad and he’s playing Minecraft on the Switch. We’re both glad to get a little quiet from Levi’s current raptor stage 😂
