I think it depends on the area, where I am at that Verizon phone would be almost useless, to where sprint has really Good coverage here... I personally have AT&T, but have tried them all. And they are about to be running 5G, as a business owner I need to be able to talk on the phone and be online simultaneously, and Verizon can not do that. But for personal use if the coverage is good, go with the cheaper plan...
