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.
110SEK (~10€)/month, 8gb of internet, unlimited calls & SMS on a student plan in Sweden. 5-40mbit speed down. EU roaming included.
Here in the UK, I’m currently on unlimited everything, calls, messages and data, for £18 per month.
That is not bad. Who are you with? I’ve got 130gb data, unlimited calls and texts for £13/ month with EE SIM only.
It’s a two year old SIM only deal with Three. I’ve been with then for several years now and this contract expires in three weeks.
According to the app, I can upgrade to their Black Friday offer of the same conditions (unlimited everything) for just £22 a month! 😆
My contract will probably just keep rolling unchanged month to month but I wouldn’t be surprised if Three try and get me to commit to something.
Is it actually unlimited or some slow down after x amount?
Nope. Truly unlimited and I’m allowed to tether it as well. So when I’m in hotels away at work, it’s my source of internet for my tablet and laptop.
Three is truly unlimited. I used to have them when I lived in Ireland. For a year it was the only internet at my home, so I worked and had meetings daily with it, my wife would watch YouTube and her classes, and we would both watch Netflix and play some online games. All from hotspoting from our phones. Battery on the phones was a problem, but we never hit any sort of data caps with them, and we were using hundreds of GB per month for sure.
I’d recommend getting a WiFi router with 4G/5G modem if you find yourself in that situation again.
But then that would beat the purpose of only paying one bill for both phone and internet at home.
American, AT&T Prepaid 2gb data, think unlimited texting/calling, $30 a month. Mostly 4g lte, but I also can get 5g e.
circa 10€ for 10GB of data and unlimited calls, in Germany.
$25 in the US for unlimited talk, text, and data, from Visible, as part of a party
Same but the throttling on “busy” towers makes even basic web page loading pretty shitty. Decent deal still but the throttling is really bad
I pay for three subs:
- For my spouse and I, two 15€/m, 200GB, unlimited SMS/calls. Without yearly contract.
- 35/m for fibre Internet, unlimited + a landline (we don’t use) + TV (we don’t have one) ;)
This reminds me I wanted to look for cheaper alternatives since neither my spouse and I use data much on our phones. I subscribed to those at a time we had a lot of issue with our fibre Internet so we could still work using our phones as hotspots… and I forgot about it :/
Finland.
19€/month for unlimited everything.
France here
- 9.99€/ months for unlimited data, calls and SMS. I also have 35Go data and unlimited calls in around 110 countries when I’m traveling.
Not even gonna post numbers.
I’m Canadian.
Weep for me and my fellow citizens as we are robbed by our telco-oligarchs.
It actually makes me so sad seeing just how low everyone elses plans are. When i was in latvia for a bit, my cell phone plan was like 4€ for a month of unlimited everything. Canadians are getting railed in the butt for prices
It’s all of North America really… folks in the US and Mexico get railed as well.
Ireland. €10 / around $11 USD a month for unlimited everything.
Limited to a 4G data connection. 15 a month if I want to move to 5G but I haven’t had any real need for the extra speed since I’m mostly using WiFi.
May not even be much faster anyway.
I have 4G phone, my dad has a 5G phone. I asked if I could check the network speed. 45Mbps on 4G, 50Mbps on 5G. Meh. And the more people move to 5G the slower it will get, and the faster the 4G gets. I’ve seen this with 3G before shutdown, it was by far faster than overloaded 4G.
Coincidentally I just ran a speed test as you were typing. 42Mbps. Perfectly happy with what I’m getting. It’s more than enough for when I’m out and about.
I pay €90 a month for a package that includes:
- 1 mobile number with unlimited data, sms and some ridiculous amount of minutes of calls I never use
- 1 mobile number with all of the same except data limited to 30GB
- Home internet with 1GB optic fiber and unlimited data
- TV with hundred channels or so
I think if I wanted to get just the phone line it would be something like €10 a month for the unlimited data one. This is in Spain.
About 10 euro for 12GB
- 5€/month for unlimited voice, text, net (romania) - I don’t use this, since i moved away, but i’ve had this number since '99…
- 35€/month for 25gb net, unlimited voice, text (germany) - it’s a bit more expensive since it includes a phone as well (i got the pixel 8 when it came out).
- 15-20€/month for 5-15gb and unlimited voice/text for my kids, also with phones (pixel 6a)
- 45€/month for home Internet - 1000 down / 200 up (cable), unlimited + landline (which is not connected/in use.
In the US. Google Fi simply unlimited plan.
- $40/mo per line for 2 lines
- Unlimited texts/minutes
- 35 GB before it starts throttling data to 256Kbps
- Works in all of North America.
- I usually pay an extra $15 per line while I’m traveling out of NA to get nearly the same service abroad.
Cheapest I could find in Sweden. Around 10€. I think it is 3GB data and unlimited calls and texts. Whatever data I don’t use stacks up for a year or somesuch. I have WiFi at home and the office so I don’t really need much data. I would go for a cheaper plan if it existed.
