I've talked to a lot of people about our carrier switch, and find it a little puzzling how attached people can be to their carriers - even when they complain about them a fair amount of the time. Unless you are in a situation where there really is only one carrier that provides coverage I just don't get it.

Sometimes it's about the carrier that provides the most bang for the buck and also who one is most comfortable with. I've been with T-Mobile for six years now and just signed another two year contract. I don't see myself switching anytime soon. Verizon has great coverage but is too expensive. Ditto AT&T. Sprint's coverage doesn't seem to be much better than T-Mobile in my area. Straight Talk has a cheap plan but honestly, T-Mobile doesn't cost much more. Plus, hubby and I share a family plan that is cheaper than doing two individual plans with a carrier like Straight Talk. So sticking with our carrier just makes sense for us.

I'm not sure where you are but in the US, you can switch your number between carriers. You just have to make sure you don't terminate your contract with your current carrier before making the switch.
