I have an iphone and my contract expired and Im about to upgrade my phone to something newer. Can I do better than $98/month or is that pretty good?
I dont want to switch to something thats $60/month and then the service sucks.

I did a lot of research on this last year and this is my conclusion: If you don't use your phone that much for data, you can do way better than your current deal. If you use a lot of data (over 5GB) and your current deal really is unlimited in that you maintain 4G speed no matter how much you use, then yes - that's a reasonable deal. Most plans that I looked at throttle the speed after the cap is reached.
What I used over the past two years was Clear.com. You purchase the little hotspot (fits in your pants pocket or shirt pocket and has 8 hours of battery life) and they give you 4G speed that's truly unlimited. I was using it all day to stream music and the occasional video (absolutely no lag) on my tablet. Also used it on my phone. I used about 20GB of data a month all for $50 a month - that was the best deal out there last year. I'm not in the states anymore so all of that is behind me.
Good luck!
