So I have been with Verizon for about ten years. My plan is up for renewal and I am thinking it'll be more cost effective to go to Project Fi. I currently have an iPhone 6S 16gb that I want to upgrade out of, but because of the cost associated with the new iteration of iPhones, I think it's worthwhile to jump back onto the Android platform.

Project Fi would net me more data with less cost overall (presently on unlimited talk/text + 2GB for $68 a month) and it looks like I'm buying a new phone outright to upgrade either way.

Am I missing any Verizon benefits or is my line of thinking correct?

Thanks for the quick and informative response!

I'm in Boulder, CO so coverage isn't an issue for me on a day-to-day basis. It'd be nice to stick with Verizon, but I just don't see the benefits in terms of buying a phone through them or in terms of raw service pricing.

Data isn't huge for me, but some weeks when I'm on the road a lot, I get stung by the overage which pushes me into an extra GB and I end up paying ~$80 for a 3GB plan on any given month.

Well, if you're on a single Verizon plan, at the least move to the 5GB single plan while you are debating if you want to switch.

2GB plan: $55 a month

5GB: $60 a month, or $55 with autopay. Only disclaimer is you can only have one smartphone.

Those sons a' bitches were letting me rot in a lesser (more expensive) tier!

Time to switch things up - thanks!!
