Currently have 2lines for kids under cricket wireless
$30 x2 =$60

Will this be better choice?

Is this a promo or can I get it next month?
This is not a promo, its the every day price and yes I think this would probably be a better deal. If you link the plans together under a family plan in their accounts settings you will save $5 a month x2. So essentially $10 cheaper a month.

Quote from SDPA :
All carriers deprioritize prepaid and MVNOs. How much depends a lot on the local tower and which carrier.
That's not true, AT&T do not deprioritize, it will be slower but you are still able to connect to internet.

Once you're deprioritized by Verizon, your can barely connect to internet no matter what.

Do they throttle 5G speeds at anytime?

Quote from hle10 :
can i use an iPhone 12 on this prepaid plan or do they make you get their own phones? Interested in getting an iphone and then do prepaid; cheaper than doing a contract payment through t-mobile or verizon, or att. Any thoughts?
Yes, you can bring your own device to AT&T Prepaid.

5G isn't impressive in most places right now. I wouldn't worry about a 5G plan right now unless you're certain the service is better in your area. From tests I've seen, 5G is slower than LTE in areas. I jumped on a 5G plan when there was a limited time special, but I'm not buying a 5G phone for it because I know it's not better than 4G LTE in my area.

Yup, you just have to do research for your area... If you're in Denver I would check out Verizon.

T Mobile Connect, a prepaid plan, offer Unlimited Talk/Text and 2 GB of data for $15. For someone like myself who's not a heavy user and works from home it rocks!

These tmobile connect plans would be great if they didn't have a hard data cap. No email, mms, etc after you use all of your data. Fine if you don't use much data. I can live without high speed data but NO DATA is a deal breaker.

If you don't want to waste your time and get wrong charge, especially for multiline account, you'd better wait until one day before your next plan renewal date to make your plan changes.
My multiline account was on a $50 plan for all 3 lines, total monthly charge was $100 with multiline discount, the plan renewed on 11/26/2020. On 12/7/2020, I made changes online to switch all 3 lines to this $30 plan, new total monthly charge should be $70 with multiline discount. However, I got a total charge of $122.67 for making this plan change while based on my calculation, I should have got only $10 charge: $60 prorated credit for the previous plan (12 days usage), and $70 charge for the new plan starting on 12/7.
I've called the AT&T prepaid customer service three times but was told the charge was "correct" due to when/how I made the plan change, their explanations: 1. I should have waited until 1 day before my next renewal date to make the plan change; 2. with the multiline account, I should have changed the primary account first then the member accounts. There was also a customer representative told me that they no longer refund prorated credit for plan changes, however, their online system did calculate $7.xx prorated credit for each of my 2 member lines when I made the change.

I think maybe I should've gone with the AT&T Prepaid SE deal rather than the Cricket.

Quote from morkman100 :
No. Always charged taxes. But you can get around it by funding your account using prepaid cards.
Do you buy the prepaid cards for the same amount the plan is each month? Or load it up at once and it just deducts monthly from the prepaid phone card?

Visible = Verizon Prepaid (they bought it).
GoPhone = ATT prepaid (they bought it).

Except ATT also runs FirstNet (for first responders) and generally has a more reliable network without throttling for prepaid users. Visible/Verizon is terrible and they will straight up tell you that the tower is congested and you cant do shit. I had Verizon for a phone deal but just ended up using another SIM while my months ran out because it was so bad.
