We switched from Verizon due to cost and lack of connectivity while traveling overseas even though I had arranged for the overseas service. Consumer cellular worked well except for remote locations (where we did have connectivity with V) and was much cheaper as long as we remained with the the limits of minutes/texts/data that we signed up for. Rolling over any moved you up to the next tier automatically, downside was no overseas connectivity.
Move to Project FI for two phones. $55 plus tax for unlimited calls, unlimited text and 1gb of data for each phone. If we don't use the data the amount owed is prorated and deducted from our bill. Data is $10 per gig but when at home we use only between 250/500 mb so receive credit of $5 or so per phone.
Downside is phone selection is limited to 4 Google approved phones. You have to be somewhat tech savy as support is limited to forums, email and I believe there is some phone support. If the phone breaks or needs to be replaced you are without a phone.
Upside (at least for us) is monthly costs. We have had no problem with connectivity in the USA (except in remote parts of Nevada and Montana but still better than Consumer Cellular and not as good as Verizon). Overseas connectivity was automatic with no need to set up anything. As we moved from country to country the switch was automatic and a note on the phone that we were now connected in Greece or Italy etc. Data was still $10 per gig per phone and unlimited email/text and outgoing voice calls at $.20 per minute and easy to complete by adding the USA code to the number (not sure about incoming).
I can highly recommend the service. YMMV but we are happy with the switch.
