Edit Reason: RE-ARRANGE

There are only 3 Backbone Carriers across the USA,
but there are hundreds of "Resellers" that resell their re-branded carrier services.
As these are smaller companies they 'sometimes' give better customer service/ & support
They are usually much less expensive per month, I believe they are all prepaid, some with option for auto-pay.
> . It is possible to purchase the sim card and an 'airtime' card from some stores with cash, and activate
** The local Dollar store has a 3 pack of sim cards from TracFone, one for each of the big carriers.
You can try the sim cards un-activated, --> just to see which has the strongest signal in your location,
airtime cards start at $10-20. USD per month.
Cheap way to take your new phone for a test drive, even if you choose a different carrier later
