Rollin' the dice

Mar 20, 2014 6:05AM PDT

I'm not one to talk on the phone all day ,only a little here and there. I might us an hour a month and maybe 2oo text messages a month and really only use wifi once in awhile but almost no data from my monthly plan . My contract is up with Verizon wireless now and I want to lose that $96.00 a month phone bill. So I'm gonna go on the CHEAP and try this company called Ting I've been hearing about on the net. -> https://ting.com/r/glyde#homeBanner and wonder if anyone here has had any experience with them. I live in Chicago

Well, it's been a month now

since I switched to Ting . I told you guy's I'd give you an update after a month.

I have to say that it's all good, I'm getting used to the iphone and the cell service has been cool.
Beside Chicago, I've been through Lower Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and southern Illinois, no roaming charges or anything and I haven't dropped any calls.

I get the same service I had with Verizon basically except the iphone get's LTE and my old phone only got 3G but Verizon charged me $96.00 a month and Ting cost me $15.00 but, I had a $25.00 credit from sign up so cost me nothing, I wonder if the other $10 bucks will be there next month and only owe a $5.00 phone bill.

Here's a look at my month -> https://ting.com/account/

I have to recommend Ting .
