Slovakia, 300GB for 13 EUR/month, no texts and calls included. Those are 5 cents I think.
The carrier has an agreement with another one for coverage extension, but with official FUP of 20GB in that network.
This carrier however disregards that and instead allows up to 80GB, but for a few months after enabling 4G from that other carrier the FUP wasn’t applied at all.
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.
It operates on that other network like MVNO, and if your phone decides to stick there, which people report happens a lot, say hello to far lower FUP instead. The carrier’s own network is also generally far slower.
I also found a little network issue (tested with 2 phones) where receiving calls are broken in a fairly specific scenario, but I don’t know how to report that. To keep it short, if VoLTE isn’t available, when switching from 2 of the 4G bands to one of the 2G bands, the call fails to connect after several long seconds of silence on caller end, and no notification of failed call attempt is sent.
I can work around both issues by selecting specific bands as needed manually, but that generally requires root and use of app like Network Signal Guru (inconvenient).
This allows me to decide whether I want more data amount, faster network speed, better outgoing call coverage, or higher chance of receiving a call. Yeah… their network sucks.
I also believe they break the EU roam like at home regulation:
Most plans only have half the data amount it seems they should have, but maybe I just calculated that wrong.
But this plan I have has… ZERO data for EU roaming.
2 x (price of mobile bundle excluding VAT / regulated maximum wholesale cap per GB) = data limit (in GB) when roaming
Hmmm… how does that give a zero.
Canada, $225.00 for 4 lines and 2 phones 60 gb data Unlimited Canadian calling/international texting 5 free hours of data when activated via app The phones are a Pixel 7 and a Moto Razr+
Australia.
Amaysim, $10 a year.
calls 10c a min. text 5c. 1 GB of internet.
I just have it for calls coming in.
Otherwise you pay $10 a month but you get unlimited calls and text and I think a few GB of internet.
I live in the USA and I use Mint Mobile, I pay $20 a month for 15gb of data a month along with unlimited texts and calls. That was about the cheapest plan I could find for one person while still having a reasonable amount of data. It generally works pretty good although I have noticed sometimes especially if I’m at a busy place it can be a bit slow but that makes sense since they’re just using other companies networks. I’ve also had a lot less issues now that I’ve set up Wi-Fi texting and calling correctly as I didn’t realize I had to enable it in the Mint Mobile app for it to actually work correctly.
Have lived in the states my whole life.
No idea how much it costs since I’m still on parents plan. We supposedly get something like unlimited data, but it slows down after a certain amount used.
Don’t know whether the 5G even works on my phone since I can’t tell the difference between it and 4G on the other phones I’ve had in the past.
There’s a specific spot in my city I absolutely hate riding by on bus because at this one specific light I swear service just dies until we get passed it (which takes what feels like forever since the bus somehow always hits it at red or just turning red).
Otherwise, no complaints other than the time I had to uninstall corporate spyware (social media/games) that they decided I absolutely needed in my life after an update. I’m thankful that they didn’t push them as system apps.
Also thankful that the phone I got came with a sim card slot and they let me transfer my number to a new one because I couldn’t retrieve my old one.
México. I have Telcel. I pay 550 MXN (≈ 27 USD; €25.50; £21.20) and get 16 GB data + unlimited calling/text with free roaming in the United States and Canada. I also get free long distance to national numbers and United States and Canada.
One trick: my plan is technically 8 GB with a 2 × 1 promotion for 2 years. Every two years, all I do is ask them to renew my contract and my 2 × 1 promotion and I get my 16 GB back. I literally get 8 GB of data for the cost of a smile and a “por favor” every two years.
US, Cricket, $160/month for five lines
US.
RedPocket, $20 bucks a month.
Unlimited Texts
Unlimited Calls/Minutes
10 GB data
(10$ toward Intl. Calls)
4G LTE / 5G
They’re an MVNO that somehow utilizes the Verizon, T Mobile, and AT&T network at the same time.
Physical or ESim card options, but if you go with physical, its mailed to you (free shipping 7-10 days), after ordering entirely online without having to go anywhere or talk to anyone.
Will give you a new number or migrate your old one, whichever you want.
With the physical card, you can pop it in to a different carrier-unlocked phone, input the IMEI to an online activation and you’re good to go in 10 minutes.
No costs or restrictions with that, from RedPocket’s end.
Best mobile phone plan I can find if you don’t care about data caps because you’ve got home internet and don’t do hugely data intensive things away from wifi.
input the IMEI to an online activation
Why though? This sounds like a big stupidity. The advantage of physical SIM is that I can easily move it to another device when my phone breaks, and the carrier still sees the IMEI anyway.
This prevents someone from stealing your SIM and using your plan without also having access to your account
So you can easily change it? If so that’s fine then.
I live in Peru.
I pay 10 PEN ($2.70) and get:
- 10 GB data (plus calls and SMS) only valid for 7 days. This is “free” and does not discount my credit.
- Once the 10 GB are up I pay 5 PEN for 24 h of UNLIMITED GB (Yes, I can tether too!)
- Once the 24h are up I do this again with the remaining 5 PEN
- Therefore on weekends I get unlimited internet.
- My speed is around 18 Mbps (2.25 MBps)
- I do not pay for home internet and simply tether to my laptop.
So it all works out at paying around $10 a month for unlimited internet (as long as I download the big things on weekends!)
Three lines unlimited data calling and text included 70$/month. The business I opened my phone plan with has a policy of never raising rates ever. Ive been on the same plan close to a decade. It would be double if I opened a account today.
American here, we’re on an AT&T family plan at $50 USD/month for each line. Yeah, it’s expensive, but you get a lot for that price; unlimited talk, unlimited texts, and unlimited data (with no throttling); there’s no roaming anywhere in Mexico, Canada, or the United States and no charges for calling international between those three countries (and I think that might also include the Bahamas, but I could be mistaken). We also get a 60 GB hotspot per line per month, but that part might be inside the US only, I’ve never used it during trips to Mexico or Canada.
Similar here with Verizon: $48/line unlimited everything, no cap. However no mmWave (they want to charge extra), and data is throttled in Canada and Mexico
110SEK (~10€)/month, 8gb of internet, unlimited calls & SMS on a student plan in Sweden. 5-40mbit speed down. EU roaming included.
USA, Visible Wireless $30 per month unlimited everything.
$6 currently with MyTello. It’s a 2GB data plan and I think maybe 300 minutes if I’m not mistaken. $10 if I decide to make it 2GB data and unlimited text/minutes.
US $20/mo with mint mobile 15gb data cap. Unlimited talk/txt. Sometimes I get 200mbps but it’s usually like 20mbps. I don’t think I’ve gone over 10gb. I work from home and usually use fiber Internet there - $60/mo for 300mbps up/down
Spain, 38€/month for a phone line, 1000mbps, 1 phone with 100GB and unlimited calls/SMS 7 extra for an additional phpne
