Vz is best for us as she often travels to Asia and uses local prepaid accounts. I think the challenge will be whether prepaid sim cards will be available in nano size by Christmas....pretty sure they'll figure out a way by then.
I might even try to talk her into taking my 4s on Vz and giving me the new toy....
what kind of prepaid options does Verizon offer, especially with LTE data?
Looks like if you want the subsidized price from VZ, you have to sign up for a shared plan (Share Everything), which is unlimited voice and SMS. Then the line charge is $40 for smart phones. So it's a minimum $80 a month for 300 MB of data. All to get the subsidized price on smart phones.
