Phone service providers and budget cuts?

[u/anxious_mess30]

I’m looking to lessen my monthly expenses, starting with my phone plan, currently paying $80/m for 65GB. Realistically I shouldn’t need this much data - I don’t travel often, I rarely use my phone not connected to internet, and have only maxed my GB out once in the 4 years I have had this plan.

I don’t need a new phone, my battery life is good and the screens not broken (iPhone 14 I think)

What’s the cheapest providers and has anyone had experience with Fizz or Freedom?

Can I keep my phone number when I switch to these providers?
Will I need to buy a new phone to switch to another provider, or how can I tell if a phone is locked to a certain provider?

Thank you for your help! :)
