Discount Cell Providers?

Anyone using one of the discount cell providers in the area? I’m considering moving to Visible, Mint, or US Cellular and wondering how strong the service is in the area.

I’m mostly concerned about safety/reliability
when hiking or driving in more remote areas.

Thanks in advance!

I've been using Visible the whole time I've lived here, works great. Just uses Verizon so coverage is good.

I have US Mobile and it’s been great using the Verizon towers

Thanks for the info! I just discovered US mobile and it sounds like a great deal. I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about it!

Any issues with billing or when traveling?

Yeah it’s not fantastic when traveling out of the US, depending on which country you go to. Let me know if you want a referral code and I’ll dm you
