How much do you pay for cell service? (T-Mobile, 3G, Verizon)
I have ATT with 3G of data per month. Everything else is just the default. One line. About $85 per month. Are others cheaper?
We are with Verizon 5G, three phone lines, unlimited data plan, 3 iPhones and insurance on each iPhone and pay $160.00 per month. Been with Verizon now what seems like 20 years and have been totally and completely happy with them. No issues at all.
I pay $100 a year. I get one of the specials every year from Tracfone it comes with a new phone, 1500 minutes, 1500 texts, and 1.5GB of data for $80. Then I add $20 for more data.
I don't use my phone a lot so this works for me. With the carryover I have over 6000 minutes and texts built up. The data is the only thing I use all of. I use it when out camping.
2 lines @ $45 each. $90/month total, including taxes and fees.
T-Mobile Magenta Max 55+
I might have chosen the next lower plan and be at $70/month, but the Magenta Max plan was a stipulation for the $800 billing credit for jumping to T-Mobile and getting a new flagship phone.
2 iPhone 13s and an Apple Watch for $55/mo. taxed and fees included with unlimited everything including hotspot on both phones with Visible on the Verizon network. They are an MVNO owned by Verizon and don't always have the best customer service, but I haven't had any issues with them in the couple of years that I've been with them. Came to them from Xfinity, also on Verizon and didn't see a change in service, only lower price.
I'm on Mint Mobile, and pay $20/mo (paid in advanced for a year, includes all taxes and fees). I downgraded from unlimited data, to 10GB/mo since I'm more often on WiFi at home and at work. All Mint plans seem to include unlimited text and calling.
I pay 16.58 a month for unlimited talk and text. I also get 24gb of data per year with that. It is through tracfone. I know the data is kind of low but I really don't use my phone much for internet.
Same with xfinity mobile. You need to be a customer though.
Most companies I've seen include unlimited talk and text. That seems to be standard. There may be exceptions.
What varies is the data and hotspot.
I pay $35 each net for two lines with unlimited data on the Magenta 55+ plan with T-Mobile. True unlimited doesn't really exist but for all intents and purposes this is unlimited.
Quote:
During congestion, customers on this plan using >100GB/mo. may notice reduced speeds until next bill cycle due to data prioritization.
Only stipulation is, it is for ages 55 and over. I don't think they verified that when I signed up. I don't even get to 2gb most months probably but it's there if I need it. Hotspot is at 5GB though. It comes in handy from time to time. There are a bunch of other perks with the plan as well.
Spectrum Mobile. I do the by the gig plan for $14 a month. Hubby does unlimited for $29.99. Our bill is $43.99 every month since their pricing includes taxes/fees.
Verizon Wireless. Unlimited talk/text, 2GB of data on phone and iPad. $78/month. Way cheaper than their other plans. No other cell phone provider around here and coverage sucks, only 4G/LTE available, and to actually make a phone call from home, I have to use my landline or my internet for WiFi calling on my cellphone. Plan does not include any streaming services or monthly payments on any hardware.
