I switched to Ting about 6 months ago because of price. I had T-Mobile and was paying about 90 bucks a month for unlimited talk and text and data. I never used hardly any of that amount.
Ting is a pay as you use service that charges you for only what you use and no more. they have tiers of talk, text and data. My normal bill is either 26 bucks a month if I say under 100 megs or 32 bucks a month if I go over but stay under 200 megs a month. It saves me about 65 bucks a month after I payed off the phone I bought. the downside is that I only can connect to the sprint network for phone and non-wifi use.
Well google has come up with a similar concept where you pay 20 bucks a month for unlimited talk and text and 10 bucks a month per gig of data. the coolest thing about them is that they use wifi and tmobile and sprint networks for their connections. they seamlessly switch between wifi, tmobile, and sprint depending on which is best at the location you are at. Also Wifi is not charged against your usage. The only downfall is that at this time it is early access so you have to have coverage in your area and you have to have a nexus 6 phone, or buy one. They sell them outright, or on a 2 year plan for about 20 bucks a month. Good news is that the phone works with other carriers if you want to switch later on you just have to pay the remainder of the the cost.
For me personally it is a better phone service with a new phone for the same price or less. I will sign up as soon as they send me an email back, in about a month or so, according to most users.
