    Phone carries has a suprise for us.
    If you are on a family share plan like me and you pay 100.00 for unlimited talk, txt and 10 gb data.
    And you get a new phone on a upgrade for 199.00. They raise your rates like 25.00 per phone.
    Not paying 800.00 right now for a new smartphone.
    And i don't care for the next plan.

    I think that Sprint offer is sounding better all the time.

    Right now we have unlimited calling, text, both have Internet service on both I-phones and the so called roll over minutes. Our bill is 106 a month from AT&T.

    I looked at the coverage map for Texas and your state is completely covered by Sprint cellular.
    Besides who cares about Walmart, there are better places to shop.

    coverage is better in areas for differnet carriers, you can't make a blanket
    suggestion for anyone, heck we had crappy service here for years in the middle of
    a large development in the suburbs of a major city until they put a tower in, nobody worked, had to stand out side to make a call.

    ATT works fine,

    S6 isn't a good deal, stick with the 5 it has the ability to swap battery as
    well as a memory card, the s6 doesn't it's like an eyePhone, marketed
    at others.

    Also EVERY carrier has an add on fee per line, att, sprint,

    If you own your own phone you can go to some of the other services that are lesser known

    \click and learn

    Verizon has a back door network, unbranded nets called total wireless it's cheaper unbranded and runs on the verizon network.

    Its market based but if you have Verison in your area that link shows you
    how to hook up to their "branded" service and save bucks.

    Went to Best Buy today and found out more about AT&T edge program.
    That is what I will go with.
    Got to talking to the Samsung dude about I heard they had a workshop classes.
    He said yes and he's having a Samsung workshop class on the Samsung Galaxy S6. I said how much does it cost. He said its free.
    We signed up. And came back at 1:00 pm and took the class.
    The OL took it with me and she don't even have a samsung product.
    A hour class seemed like 10 minuted.
    We both really liked the class
