[ale] OT: Cell service provider recommendations

[Scott Castaline]

Update to my cell provider:

We wound up calling Customer Service at ATT and managed to get someone 
that seemed to know what they were talking about. We were able to cut 
our costs down from $340/month to $175/month for services and then about 
$190/month to include cost of 2 new phones and all the bs taxes.

I wound up with the HTC One M8 and my wife got the LG Optimus G Pro 
which is more on the line of a Phablet has a really nice screen. Mine on 
the other hand is larger than my old HTC but smaller than hers. It does 
come with KitKat and hers came with JellyBean which is now updated to 
KitKat, so software wize it's now close to mine. I do have plans to 
switch to CM in the near future.

Thanks all for the advice. I obviously changed my mind about to T-Mobile 
after seeing reports that it's going to be a hostile take-over by Sprint 
and Sprint's Customer Service makes ATT's look like the world's best. 
Also we were able to knock the costs down to what it would be with 
T-Mobile and similar amount of service plan.
