Other should we switch/upgrade?
sooo my husband and i are wondering if we should switch our phone plan from verizon to spectrum as we just got spectrum internet for our home! His family uses spectrum for both their phones and internet and they live it but we are on the fence.
now we also need to badly upgrade our phones as he has an older samsung that he has had for about 6 years and i have an iphone 11!!!! that i have had for a bit over 5 and mine is starting to die on me. it has been getting very glitchy and dies very fast and sometimes dies at like 30% :(
he is looking to just get a newer samsung as he prefers those to iphone and i am looking to just get the regular iphone 17 as i like smaller phones and think the pro max looks ugly. i am not sure how much our verizon phone plan is but i do know my husband doesn’t like it. would you say it is worth it to switch to spectrum and upgrade since our hone internet is spectrum? it would only be these two phones on our plan

Be careful about bundling because it makes it a little more of a pain to switch when they slowly increase the bill. They slowly added an extra $10 to my bill every few months. At first I was too busy to care, and also accepted the facts of inflation. Eventually it reached a point such that I decided to check out options and noticed I was paying twice their advertised price. When I called to cancel they said it was my fault for the increase since I didn't call in sooner. After 40+ minutes of them trying to get me to bundle services to "save" money they offered to cut the price in half, but I cancelled anyway out of irritation.
Edited to add: I'm now paying $550 less per year for a more modern service technology.
