Ok, so once I experience 4g, Im told I wont wanna go back.
I feel like $82 with taxes is overpaying for what I have, the Sprint Unlimted Plan, 450 anytime minutes and unlimited data. I use 250 a month in minutes - I can use my work phone and with unlimited mobile to mobile and unlimited nights and weekends, I rarely get over 250. And I only used 1 gig of data once in one month.

So, I read that if I go prepaid, I can use like CSpire and get 500 minutes and 5 gig data. Roaming may not be a big deal, as I get out of Memphis less than 25 days a year and even then, its a weekend and to a big city. $50 is the cost and that includes taxes. But I think I am limited on what phone I can get. I do like the bigger screens over my Iphone 4.

Tmobile has the fastest speeds and is good in Memphis. I can get a $50 plan and with a phone, will run me about the $82 I spend now. I can re-up with Sprint, and get a new phone for $200, so that amortizes to $8 a month. But I read that Sprint has the slowest 4g speeds, even though that will be faster than the 1mbps or so I get with my Iphone 4 on 3g.

So any advice? Get a Cspire or Boost or prepaid Tmobile and use an older model 4g phone? Or go Tmobile and get the HTC 1?

I am in love with my Samsung Galaxy S5. Got it for $50 on a Mother's Day sale.

If you're interested in hearing more of a review, I can provide it but I am not sure if you'd be interested in this type of phone.

If you are not married to your iPhone, you might consider Republic Wireless.
