I have Samsung Galaxy S4; hubs has S5. We've both been very happy with these. He had Motorola prior (and might still for phone #2 - not sure). Have Verizon service. When we both did the latest software upgrades there were a few glitches but they have been resolved (by the local 20 yr old wizard). I'd love to do cheaper but have nephew on my plan (he DOES NOT have a smart phone). I like Verizon's backbone so not sure how I feel about Consumer Cellular. Last time I checked, was no better for me. SIL works for Republic. She and bro have those phones and calls drop and funky things happen with their phones all the time. Not for me.
