Other options: Google Fi has a "bill protection" feature designed to refund you for data you don't use, but with a maximum monthly charge of $80 per month for one line and 6GB of data and unlimited talk/text, I think you're better off looking elsewhere instead of having to calculate how much data you're using.ĪT&T has an online offer of 16GB per month plan if you prepay the $300 for a full year (equating to $25 per month). Getting 10GB of 4G LTE/5G monthly data is $20 per month at Mint when purchased in 12-month increments. Whereas Metro and Cricket charge $40 per month for one line and Boost has a $35 plan for 10GB of data, Mint beats them all on price. When it comes to data under 10GB, Mint once again has the best value if T-Mobile's network is solid in your area. If you qualify for that program, Metro's $40 per month unlimited plan could be had for $10 per month (and the one with perks could be $30 per month instead of its regular $60 monthly). It is worth mentioning that Metro - like AT&T, Verizon and Boost - works with the government's Affordable Connectivity Program. One phone line with this top unlimited plan runs $60 a month, two lines are $90 a month and three lines are $120. If price is the biggest factor for you, look at Google Fi's Simply Unlimited plan we mentioned above.Īnything less than four lines, however, and it is a lot pricier than Mint. A promotion has that down to $30 a month per line, so if that's your budget you may want to look at that deal, as for the same price per line you may as well get the perks like Amazon Prime and Google One alongside the service. If you're looking for four or more lines, the top Metro unlimited plan could be worth considering.
But those prices are higher per line if you were only looking for one, two or three lines. Verizon's deal also requires you to commit to 10 or more months.Ĭricket and Metro also offer perks with their top unlimited plans - in the case of Cricket you get a subscription to HBO Max with ads, while Metro offers a subscription to Amazon Prime and 100GB of Google One storage. Verizon and AT&T's prepaid options start at $50 a month with automatic payments ($65 without). Tracfone does not offer a traditional unlimited data plan. That's still pricier than Fi's updated offering and Cricket does not offer mobile hotspot data with these plans.Ĭricket says it "may temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy," whereas Google says it will slow data if you exceed 35GB in a month. After that point, your speeds "will be reduced for the remainder of the month." Between the two, we'd recommend Google Fi as it's cheaper.Ĭricket also has a similar option that's $30 per line, but if you have four or five lines the price per line would drop to $25 per line per month ($100 a month for four lines, $125 for five lines). Other options: Beyond those two providers, Boost Mobile has that promotion for three lines that we mentioned, offering 35GB of high-speed data per line for $90 per month. The plan also now offers 5GB of hotspot data, though that is a "hard" cap where the hotspot feature stops after 5GB is used, as opposed to the data slowing.

It now includes 35GB of high-speed data plus talk, text and data in Canada and Mexico. While its $50 pricing for one line is way higher than Mint's, if you have three lines or more you can save a bit.Ĭalled Simply Unlimited, the plan runs $25 per line per month with three lines and drops to $20 per month if you have four or more lines. Google has updated the unlimited plans on its Fi cell phone service that not only lowers the monthly price, but also adds in a few useful features.

You could also go to a major carrier's store and see if it offers any free ways to try out the service before switching over, such as T-Mobile's Test Drive.Īs with all plans, the value will change depending on your specific needs and if that particular network works well in your area. If you have any friends or family in your area who already use the prepaid carrier you're considering, ask about their experience. Google Fi uses T-Mobile and US Cellular.Boost Mobile uses AT&T and T-Mobile for now (it's switching to a combination of AT&T, T-Mobile and parent Dish's own network in the future).
Each offers some version of 5G and I've broken this all down here, but to recap:
Before you sign up for one, it's worth checking what the underlying network is. Prepaid providers almost always use someone else's service. This makes it hard to give a blanket recommendation of any one carrier: T-Mobile's service in New York may be excellent, but if you're in, say, rural Iowa, Verizon is more reliable. As I noted when covering the best unlimited plans, to get the most out of your deal you need to make sure you have the coverage you need.
