Best deal for new cell phone contracts

So I have been with Sprint with 2 SERO accounts for ~5 years. While I would give anything to be able to stay with Sprint, we moved to Wyoming a year ago and there is no Sprint coverage within 150 miles. The 2 players around here are Verizon and AT&T. I am looking at getting 2 smart phones. I know there isn't unlimited data anymore so probably getting 4GB family share plan. How can I go about getting the best deal? I work for a small local office so no work discounts or anything like that. Anyone out there want to trade your old grandfathered AT&T or Verizon unlimited data plan for Sprint SERO plans?

On a separate note, if you have any recommendations on phones, I'd be glad to hear those too. Haven't had a new cell phone in 3 years for me. Wife wants iPhone 5; I am leaning toward the Galaxy S3 but don't know what other good options are out there.

Any help you can give would be much appreciated! Have a slick day!

The best deals are to be had by going with a company that doesn't require a contract. Cell phone contracts are history - at least if you want a good deal. The present and future is month to month.

Look to Page Plus [pagepluscellular.com] for some of the very best deals and the best coverage out there. They piggyback on Verizon's prepaid network.

What's the advantage of Page Plus over someone like Boost? Boost appears to be cheaper from my initial research.

Do i still have access to the same phones for something like that? Also, where do you find out about something like that? Not too many mall kiosks around here

Internet. Everything can be done from the comfort of your living room.

Concerning which phones will work with Page Plus, check out the stickies on this page [howardforums.com].

Here is another very good thread on getting started with Page Plus [howardforums.com].

Boost is a good option too. As is MetroPCS, Cricket, and StraightTalk. I'd just compare the coverage, available plans, available phones, and reviews of customer service with each and make a decision based on that.

So are these pre-paid networks compatible with the latest/greatest phones? Like could I buy a new iphone 5 and use it on one of those networks if i paid retail for it?
