Coverage is same on Verizon either way here. Both good. When I suggested I was going to switch the Verizon agent said I wouldn't get the customer service with prepay. I told her I wasn't impressed with their customer service anyhow so the savings might actually save me some headaches also.
Wish I had more time to trap....

I have a cell phone through work. We have Virgin Mobile (sprint network) for my wife and kids. Virgin customer support isn't the best but the phone service has been as good as with my Verizon phone. You don't get automatic upgrades in phones and I think that's where the price difference is. With replacing phones every couple of years, I don't know which option is cheaper. I don't like being tied to one company for a "contract period". If Virgin stops providing good service, I can just turn off the phones and find another carrier.

Prepay all the way. If I want a new phone I pay for it. Service is the same.

I'll stick with my flip phone, one payment of $108 for a year of service.

Me and my wife use Trac Phone Wireless ( the one sold at Walmart) pre paid plan, i love it. It is truly unlimited data also, the speed never changes no matter how much your on the ol interwebs. Its cheaper, very reliable, and I dont have to deal with Verizon at all.

Watch the websites for free minutes with TracFone. Get triple the minutes you paid for, if you do it right. Never had any problems with prepaid TF in over a decade with them.

Just an FYI i have had Verizon phones for years. When getting my teenage son a phone instead of adding him to my plan i just got his a prepaid Verizon phone. I found out that it would not work at my house i lived at at the time. Period no service. The issue was that pre-paid Verizon does not roam in the same way a contract plan does. I was told why would i think that a prepaid plan would have all of the same service as a contract plan. I had to add my son to my contract so he could actually call and text on his phone. In an area where there is technical Verizon service it was perfectly fine but anytime roaming was required it was a paperweight with no option to roam period.

I switched from Verizon contract to straight talk , I don't know about all coverage areas but where I am I am getting better reception 5 times the data, for less than 1/2 the cost of the Verizon package. $45 rather than $125.
