The mvno plans, the prioritizing was a big issue for me. Typically it goes something like Emergency Services, Business, Post Paid Customers, PrePaid Customers, MVNO Customers. With the amount of travel I do, the prepaid and MVNO plans never worked well for me. ANd I also found out the hard way that a Verizon towers MVNO plan, does not work on ALL Verizon towers. Some verizon towers are *not* accessible by prepaid devices. Ive also noticed that mvno plans, for some reason in the singular experience I had, would not work in a area with repeaters like the previous post paid plan phone did.
Anyways I tried Verizon and was very pissed off with their customer service (at that time). Went to AT&T Business Elite (with vet discount), and really don't care about the $. I just drink less beer and eat less pizza if it ever bothers me. But now I am on a unlimited plan, a grandfathered real unlimited hot spot sim that I have in a mofi router, and 4 leased phones for $250 after taxes fees etc.
I am not on my phone much. Shitter, before bed, over coffee, lazy weekend when its raining etc and body too broken for indoor chores. Over all connections that's 3gb on snapchat (only communicate with my siblings on this), 2gb on amazon shop, 32gb on tiktok... I take a lot of photos for personal and work. They all upload to the cloud for backup, and those are raw large photos not downgraded low pixel snapchat photos. People don't realize how big photos/videos are. Anytime you have a "space" or "data" issue for the lay, its always media related. Tiktok for example is almost 1gb per hour of watching. No I don't watch 30hrs a month, but I do download (save) a lot of the political evidentiary videos that expose the lies and corruption going on, or a how to video, etc.
On my phone it records at 1mb per second of video (on Snapchat). On native video rec, its 3mb per second of recording.
