Will it make sense for one of us to move to the other service provider?

I’m partial to AT&T because it’s my provider (although they didn’t help at all when I was in Europe; my phone never even realized where it was or updated the time), but it probably would be advantageous to be on the same carrier, maybe even with some kind of family plan type thing. There’s also the whole concept of “My Five,” in which you can call/text five people an unlimited amount… I would go to the stores of the providers (or call) and ask what the best plans are for your situation, get quotes, then compare.

I think it depends on where you live and when you call. My Verizon service here was awesome. Then I moved to AT&T. Basically worst ever. Some places it will be in reverse. If you are calling mostly at night, then it doesn’t matter. Same for if you call on the weekends. But if you call all the time, then you might want to consider it.

Also, how long have you been dating? One month? Wait. One year? Go for it.

If you call and text each other a lot, you might be able to find a couples or family plan that allows free calling between both of your phones. That’s what I’m using right now, I’m on the Rogers network here in Canada. Can’t say much about the providers though.

It would make sense when the next one’s contract expires to move to a common carrier. We have 4 people on one plan (Sprint), sharing 1500 minutes, with unlimited text messaging, and roadside assistance. We never use over 900 minutes between us, because sprint-to-sprint calls don’t use minutes, and after 7 pm calls don’t use minutes.

Look for a carrier with the best reception in your area, and change when the next contract is up.
