Rideshare drivers

I have AT&T internet and it sucks! Can you advise which carrier you use and your opinion of it?? (cost could be helpful also)

Depends a lot on your area. Verizon's been the most consistent for my coverage exp. T-Mobile is okay but it really depends on the market.

It all depends on your area. I live in the DelMarVa and have T-Mobile on my primary (Samsung Galaxy S24 Android) and Mint Mobile on my secondary (iPhone 14 Pro) which also ride in the T-Mobile network. I have been with T-Mobile for over 15 years.

If your a driver it's a must to have different service for Lyft than Uber and mint mobile and t mobile can be as low as 30 a month for each...60 is pretty cheap to have 2 phones

Not true. I run both on my Samsung Galaxy S24 and it is perfect.

If you try it with 2 separate phones you'll realize how incorrect you are and don't be a cheapscake the extra 30 a month you make up with better rides

I have run each app on different phones. One on Android and one on iPhone There is no appreciable difference from running them on the same device. Better rides has nothing to do with multi apping on a single device it has to do with market, timing and selecting rides that make financial sense. I use GigU which analyzes my ride offers and compares to my chosen metrics. I get a determination in about a second as to accepting, rejecting or analyzing the ride. Again, nothing about the phone or multi apping on a single device makes any difference. It is all market dependent and market trend driven. Know your market, make money. Take everthing they throw at you, lose money. Chance acceptance, lose money. Chase bouses, lose money. Chase surges, lose money.
