Default Verizon 55+ Plan

$80 @ month for 2 lines of unlimited data. It's not advertised so you need to ask!

Verizon been my choice in NH since I switched from AT&T decades ago. The old CDMA network had the best coverage as well is 3G. Now 4G coverage is a bit spotty but still better than GSM.
There was a talk from an environmentalist about his view of 5G. Much more damaging radiation than 4G to our brains. Radio waves are more direct and therefore less coverage over the terrain unless they build more towers.

Best I know, the $80 2-line is for 55+ peeps.

Broadhopper did mention it is a 55÷ program in the subject area. Unfortunately, you didn't see that on your Tapatalk app. That app doesn't show the subject of each post.

For that reason, I use the full version for this site on my tablet. If I put pertinent info in the subject line, I try to put it in the body of the post as well to help out those who use Tapatalk (like me on my phone )

Gotcha, thanks! Tapatalk is sometimes limiting, but it's nice having all my forums on one app. (Though recently it's gotten wonky with rewards and other junk)

Rewards can be nice, but I hesitate to sign up because they can change at any time. I'd rather see just a lower price. I seem to recall when people had two phones, one for home, one for camp because of erratic coverage. It's nice now that most systems have good coverage and we now can easily switch companies, for a better price. And we seem to be getting away from the two+ year contract. I'll be switching to Xfinity for cell phones. Switching landlines saved about $80 month. The cell change will save about $40. I'm close to giving up cable TV and just using Roku, but I haven't given up on watching live local government/school TV yet and that's not available on Roku. Maybe the next elections will change that?
I recall from last summer that cell phone service is still pretty spotty in the WMNF and adjacent hiking areas. I don't think that will change as there isn't a population base to support new towers. Someday we'll get away from all these towers and just go satellite.
