Cricket. Although as mentioned in the article, download speeds aren’t at true LTE speeds but limited to 8 Mbps

Good to know. Will their SIMs cost $0.99 at Target or be a dreaded $10 a pop?

I haven’t seen a cheapie yet! Is T-Mobile not meeting your needs?

I recently applied for a job which if I get will take me within a 200 mile radius. The company will either pay a portion of my current bill or they might give me a company phone.

I wouldn’t want to be stranded in a place with no coverage or weak building penetration while on T-Mobile. Plus it’s my personal number.

GPS will be my main data hog while I learn the roads if I get the opening.

I can understand that. As far as GPS goes, have you tried Here maps for offline navigation? It works well and is free. Since you’re on iOS I’ll post link for that https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/here-maps/id955837609?mt=8
