Anyways........ I am changing cell carriers from AT&T to Spectrum -- strictly due to price. So my question is do any of you have opinions about any of these choices - they are all in the same price range...

LGStylo4 -- $10/mon for the phone for 24 months (or bring own phone $0)
iPhone 6S -- $15/mon
iPhone 7 -- $19/mon


I don't like the iPhone as much as the Android so I would go with the
LG. Had an LG in the past and it was good.

I hope you get better service with the phone than they give with cable.
When we moved here we signed up with Spectrum and the phone and TV
service sucks. I'd not trust them to Fk up my cell phone.

I'm with you there. I may end up buying the cell phone outright and just using service month to month. Spectrum took over Time Warner here in So Calif and I can't tell any better or worse. But I just use internet for email and low data applications, no cable TV. in 2015 Internet and one phone line was $35. Now it's $65, still better that alternatives. Their tech support for mobile is in Raleigh NC, which is a big plus over "My name is Buffy, how may I kindly serving you".

How does the cell phone fit it with that? Extra charge?

All my years of having a cell phone, only one time I needed support.
That was with billing, when Verizon wanted $140 in overage airtime.
It was due to one call to 411, their information service. You'd
think someone could quickly realize that something went wrong, that
I could not have been on one 411 call for an hour and a half. But
it was like dealing with morons. I keep explaining that to the support
person, she just keeps saying, not our problem, you have to take it
up with the person you called. I keep telling her, the 411 service,
AFAIK, is Verizon too. I got to the point that I said, I have to get
rid of this phone if it can somehow be doing this, next I could have
a bill for $1000. She said she can do that for me, terminate my service.
Finally I got to a supervisor and he immediately saw the obvious.
He said it looked like something went wrong on their side, the call
did not disconnect properly. He had me on hold for like 15 mins while
he checked with their techs, etc, to make sure what it was and that
it wouldn't happen again. Then he took the charge off. So, IDK, I'm
not sure paying for what's supposed to be a premium carrier is worth it.
Mainly because I haven't needed any support in 35 years, other than that.
