In this edition of Ask Maggie, I help two different readers figure out how to get the most value out of their wireless service. Of course, cheaper isn't always better. If the service doesn't work or doesn't offer you enough data for your needs, then the lower price tag is irrelevant. In the first question, I offer one reader some advice about switching from Sprint to either AT&T or Verizon Wireless for the iPhone 5. And for the second reader, I analyze whether he should keep his unlimited data plan with Verizon Wireless and pay full price on a Samsung Galaxy S3 or whether he should take the subsidy and sign up for one of Verizon's tiered data services.

One thing is clear from both of these questions, a one-size solution does not fit all, Does rally case for apple iphone xs max - blue/orange it make sense to switch carriers?, Dear Maggie, I have a dilemma, I have an iPhone 4S on the Sprint network, While I am glad that I have unlimited everything, I rarely go over 4GB of data per month, And I barely use my voice minutes, since texting has taken over my life, My problem is that I am really dissatisfied with Sprint's 3G network, I plan to upgrade to the new iPhone 5 in a couple of weeks, But I am not planning to stay with Sprint, Their 4G LTE network is not up and running in the Los Angeles area where I live, So I'm stuck trying to choose between AT&T or Verizon, I realize that by picking either one of these providers, my bill, which is $90 a month will go up, I've been researching to see which of the two company's would suit me better financially, So far, AT&T seems like the better option, But I've heard bad things about AT&T, So my question is, should I take my chances with AT&T or should I pay a little extra to go with Verizon, which is more reliable, The other option is that I could wait for Sprint to get the 4G LTE network up and running in LA, I've heard that should happen in December, Please help..

Thanks a lot, Fernie. Dear Fernie, Your question is a good one. There are several factors to consider when switching wireless providers. As I've stated in the past in this column, I think network quality and coverage are very important when evaluating a service. If you can't get a signal, then what's the point of having a smartphone? Right? But price matters, too. Wireless service doesn't come cheap. And sometimes, you simply can't afford the most reliable service with the broadest footprint. In that case, you may have to make some trade-offs to save some money. But before you start down that path, you need to figure out what services you actually need and compare pricing. If you rely on your wireless service as much as I do, my advice is to get the best, most reliable service you can afford. Because I use my cell phone as my primary phone, and because I also use it for work, a difference of $5 or $10 a month is not enough for me to put up with crappy service from a lower cost provider. That's only $60 to $120 a year. But once the cost difference is $20 or more a month, which is $240 per year or higher, I might be persuaded to switch, even for a lower quality service. You have to determine for yourself what your own cost threshold is.

With this in mind, the first thing you need to do is to actually price out the service packages from all three carriers based on your specific needs, This is a little more difficult than it used to be in the past, because AT&T and Verizon Wireless no longer offer unlimited data plans, So you aren't able to truly compare apples to apples with Sprint, Instead, rally case for apple iphone xs max - blue/orange AT&T and Verizon offer what many consumers find to be a confusing array of options of tiered or capped data plans, What this means for you as you evaluate your options is that you'll have to do a little bit more homework to examine your typical usage patterns in order to find the best plan that fits your needs, Once you understand how much data you use and you're able to estimate how much you think you'll need going forward, you'll be able to compare actual prices..

What's your average usage?. You mentioned that you rarely exceed 4GB of data per month. But it would be helpful to know how much data you are using on average. If in most months, you use more than 3GB of data, but less than 4GB on a regular basis, then a 4GB plan is probably a good fit for you. But if you use considerably less than that most months, say 2GB of data per month, then you could subscribe to a less expensive plan. After you've figured out your typical usage patterns over the past several months, you should look at ways you could cut that usage.
