3. Prepaids are not economical - plus I don't think you can't port existing number to prepaid

So we're debating whether to switch her over to Verizon, get a new iPhone 4s or to wait for new iPhone later this summer before making the switch. Regardless, her mobile phone bill is going to get a huge spike when we make the move!
AT&T prepaid has unlimited voice and text for $50/month. This is cheaper than a plan with 2 year contract. Just purchase a prepaid AT&T SIM card and insert it into your unlocked iphone and call AT&T to port your number from T-Mobile. Simple as that!
