We still have AT&T because the last time my wife upgraded, she wanted to keep her "unlimited" data plan. But the data-caps and throttling on that service has soured us on them as a provider. We had been holding out until her contract was up, even though I've been desperate to dump the HTC phone for quite some time. Now that we have hit that point we've been having a hard time trying to decide which provider to pick to get the best phone and deals on plans. I would like to get a Samsung Galaxy S4, and she wants to upgrade to the iPhone 5S. We cannot afford to buy phones outright, so we will have to go under contract again. We are currently trying to compare Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile against various prepaid cellular providers, like Virgin and Cricket. We've looked and can't seem to get the costs down too much, even going prepaid and getting discounts through either of our jobs. Plus at least one of the prepaid companies (Virgin, as I recall) doesn't even seem to carry the Galaxy S4. I was hoping for some direction on a provider with decent coverage, better prices, and who won't saddle me with an ancient phone that will get abandoned when it comes to updates. Finding providers with the new iPhone seems to be a no-brainer, but I've got a small investment in the Google Play and Amazon Apps stores, plus I really like having a larger screen than Apple feels I need. Also, we will probably need to add text messaging to whatever plan we get, since cutting it out of our AT&T plan to save money has ended up costing us more when friends, family or co-workers text us. If you are willing to be flexible regarding your smartphone choice, then there are other options that can save you money. Another option for you, if you're willing to forgo the Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5S, is to sign up for service from the low-cost provider Republic Wireless. This carrier uses a mix of Wi-Fi networks and cellular service to offer a very low-cost service. Up until recently, the company only offered a very small number of low-end Android smartphones. If you and your wife are willing to get the Moto X instead of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Apple iPhone 5S, then this is a deal that may be too good to pass up. In total, the most expensive service on Republic Wireless, plus the cost of the phones over two years will cost you about $650 less than what you'd pay on T-Mobile's most basic plan. Again, there are caveats. For one, you have to be willing to get the Moto X instead of the other phones you mentioned. And the only other potential drawback is that Republic Wireless uses Sprint's cellular network when Wi-Fi is not available. So if you live in an area where Sprint's network is not so great or simply unavailable, this is not the service for you. When it designed the Galaxy S5, Samsung didn't stray too far for inspiration. Indeed, from the front, you can barely tell the Galaxy S4 and S5 apart. The S5's rounded rectangle is stamped from the same steep-sided, silvery-trimmed mold as the S4's, but with an ever-so-slightly more capsule-shaped central home button. Tiny dimples cover a rear cover that's blessedly matte instead of coated in reflective gloop. The Galaxy S5 comes in black and creamy white shades, but Samsung has also shown it off in enticing copper and bright blue. Not every market or carrier will sell each color, but at least Samsung has decided to expand its palette to some livelier hues. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but if Samsung is at all striving for loftier ambitions, it hasn't reached the heights of HTC's luxe brushed aluminum or even Sony's sleek style. Samsung does boasts about a new display panel and accompanying technology that help the phone adapt its display more accurately to different lighting scenarios. This is one of those small improvements that few will notice so long as it's working. A cover that clips securely into place is one indication that the S5 has met IP67 standard for water- and dust-resistance. If you're switching to the S5 from another Samsung phone, the new menu buttons may trip you up when it comes to customizing the home screens, since those controls you're used to for creating folders and selecting wallpapers are no longer there. In the 2013 J.D. Power and Associates Customer Care survey of non-contract cell phone users, MetroPCS narrowly edges out Virgin Mobile for the top spot, both receiving a full 5 out of 5 stars. MetroPCS earns high marks from customers who dealt directly with a customer service rep. J.D. Power and Associates surveys over 5,000 wireless users who rate their wireless purchase experiences. The survey includes those who bought service at retail stores, online or over the phone.
