For anyone who has tried switching over, what's your experience with them been like? Were there any hidden upsides or downsides you weren't expecting? What about coverage? It's really hard to ignore them when they keep spamming ads to YouTube, my favorite podcasts, etc.

Ive been using them for a few years. Some stuff to note: you have to pay in at least 3 month blocks. You cannot pay for a month at a time. The prices on the website are just for your first term. After that it is a little more expensive, but not too much. Coverage wise it's t-mobile's network, so its good in major cities, but spotty in rural areas.

Ive been mostly pleased with them. When the wife and I go on trips, sometimes my phone gets no service, but she's on AT&T, so her phone usually works fine, and she'll turn on hotspot so i can get my messages.
