I don't want to lose my number, but if it will save me money or I have to it isn't that much of an issue. So what are the best plan options for someone like me. Open to all suggestions."
  Self: "Cricket wireless . Owned by AT&amp;T . 2.5gb data UL talk and text for 35/m . "
  Prog (Prog): "Cricket is capped at 8Mbits/down though. Otherwise it's a great deal. "
  Self: "&gt;Cricket is capped at 8Mbits/down though\n\ndoesnt really matter on a cellphone. I went from 40-50 mbps on at&amp;t thinking it would suck. It didn't . You dont need 40-50mbhps on cellphones and then i realised that i need to use mobile data only when i m not wifi and tbh most of us are on wifi for majority of time nowadays."
  Prog (Prog): "Of course your use case may not ever require more than 8Mbits/down. Just bringing it up. :)"
  Self: "noone actually needs 40-50mbps on a phone. Most phones that people use  dont even support it.  Wanting it? Now that's a completely different thing. "
  Prog (Prog): "If you're on Cricket wireless, definitely not. Especially on the cheapest plan, since the cap is 2.5 GB and they don't do hotspots (yet). "
