T-Mobile is my favorite cellular provider in the US by far and I used them for years before starting work (company pays for phone and Verizon has the best network).

They made having a smartphone affordable and made it easy to upgrade by reselling your unlocked phone online (recouping most of the unsubsidized cost).

Second all of that. Also their data plans are nice, if you exceed it (which I do sometimes via tethering, which also just works with T-Mobile), you're not cut off just rate-limited, and to a rate that's still fine for browsing websites, just not for watching Youtube.
