Hi Guys,

So my GF's phone seems to be using a ton of data and we have no idea why, she has an I-phone 6 and it seems that facebook is using the most data, way more than it should be it seems, and we have not found a fix for this so far. We have tried turning off wifi assist and also replacing the sim, both of which had no luck. She pays $30 per month for 300 mins and 1.25GB.

We have now found that skinny direct offer a plan for the same price with 3.5GB and unlimited calling, which seems almost to good to be true! I understand the better deal can be brought to customers cheaper because the customer has to sign up online and they do not have staff in stores so they save on rent etc. My question is is there any downside to skinny direct that I am not seeing here, like is the coverage and reliability ok etc?

At first I was worried there would online be online assistance via email or something like that if things go wrong (like flip internet) which would be a deal breaker for me but I have called the skinny helpline and they have told me they also deal with skinny direct customers.
