No experience with them , but generally all the cheaper cell phone providers pretty much use the same exact towers from the big name ones.... Service is fairly close on most of them.

My wife and I switched to straight talk 5-6 years ago from at&t and Verizon and have never regretted it.   We both did the BYOP (bring your own phone) option as both our phones checked out as supported. I think it was $15 for the sim card, keep your number and unlimited everything for $45 per month ($51 per phone after taxes etc). They bounce off Verizon towers. I get better coverage than most of my coworkers (by far) who have no contract phones. I do a ton of driving and cover quite a bit of ground and I seldom have no service and those spots are mainly deep in the mountain valleys where signals are non existent for any provider. If you stay in an urban area mainly then I would say try out an even cheaper plan but have a phone that is supported by multiple providers so you have the flexibility to switch up if the need arises.

Well, I switched to Consumer Cellular about a week ago and so far I don't see any difference in service. My plan is 15 dollars a month less than Verizon for the same deal and if you sign up prior to Sep 30th they give you one month free.

I'm late to this thread; but, wanted to share:
 
Verizon has a Pre-Paid plan that is cheaper than the post (billed) plan, & automatic billing saves an additional $5/month - Per phone

I am not affiliated with Verizon ... just like the coverage. 

Only 1 time was getting a Signal an issue - at a rental in the mountains of North Carolina - even though the Verizon map showed we should have had good coverage

I agree, Verizon had been excellent all the years I was with them. The only weak spot for me was in the Southwest area around Rt 66. I cant remember if it was AZ or NM. The worse experiences I had were with Sprint years ago.
 
My company discount is going away and I couldn't see any reason to pay as much for monthly service as Verizon wanted so my research led me to Cellular One. So far so good.

Wife and I will be going to prepaid-Verizon in a few months, we are never again financing phones/tablets, we can get the same package were on now $110 vs the current $250.

Consumer Cellular works great. Have it for my grandfather for the last 3-4 years. It uses the same service towers as the major providers. So if you have good service in your area you should notice no change other than cheaper bills

Looks like Consumer Cellular uses AT&T and T-Mobile towers. Do you know if either has decent service in your area? I'm on Google Fi, which uses Sprint and T-Mobile towers. The service is mezzo-mezzo, but cheaper than I was previously paying with AT&T.

Mint mobile may be good for a cheap plan if you haven't checked them out
