   T-Mobile is passable in urban areas. But a lot of rural areas in   
   California have no T-Mobile coverage at all and no roaming onto AT&T. To   
   be fair, their maps disclose the lack of coverage. I don't think that   
   T-Mobile is even that cheap.   
      
   T-Mobile stresses unlimited data but the reality is that the average   
   data usage per month in the U.S. is 6.1GB for unlimited plans and 1.6GB   
   for limited plans. And of course when you're on an unlimited plan you   
   don't even bother using available Wi-Fi, so the actual data really   
   needed is much lower. On my Verizon MVNO I get 30GB shared between three   
   lines for $85 per month including taxes and fees. I don't think I've   
   ever used even 10GB of it. It's rare for my data speed to be below 50Mb/s.   
      
   If you have T-Mobile then you can get a free taco from Taco Bell on   
   Tuesday though .
