I ended up with red pocket mobile because you can actually pick between AT&T, Verizon or T Mobile depending on what works best where you live. Their unlimited got bumped to 50GB high speed

Good2gomobile $60 a year for ATT coverage.

Visible is 19 a month!!

I’ve done a bit of research recently and a few options really stood out for cheap plans this year:

EliteTechMarketplace - it’s not a carrier itself, but more of a comparison site that ranks and reviews the best budget-friendly carriers with proper ratings. Super handy if you want to see all the top options in one place before deciding.

Lyca Mobile – every plan includes international calling, high-speed 5G data, and no contracts or hidden fees.

Visible – runs on Verizon’s network with unlimited everything (talk, text, data). No hidden fees, plus they sometimes have promos like a free phone with select plans.

SnapFon – more of a niche option, but worth checking out if you want something simple and affordable.

All of these are prepaid/MVNO style, so you save money compared to the big carriers without locking into a contract.

My suggestion if you go to US Mobile. Go to their Warp (Verizon) network with both lines before 8/18. Change to Lightspeed (T-Mobile) after 8/18. This will get you grandfathered in to priority data on Verizon, so if you want to switch back later, you dont have to pay extra for priority data.

I use us mobile with 2gb shared data. Run over 2gb more often than not, but have auto top off. 2 dollars per gb and unused data rolls over. I average about 20 dollars per month for 2 lines, taxes and fees included. No issues.

US Mobile is great and I doubt there is a better priced plan out there.

Connect by T-Mobile at $15 plus taxes and fees, for unlimited talk/text and 5 GB of priority data per month, per line. This is a prepaid plan, so it works in a prepaid type of way for payment, where you add money to the account and then it deducts once a month. It's not better than US Mobile's pricing, it just gets you the ability to go in-store for support, domestic roaming, and priority data.

Helium. If you want to go bare bones, dual sim the free plan with TextNow. Unlimited talk, text, and 3gb data, all for free every month!

i use the T-Mobile One plan and they are not honest. They are liars.

Price Lock a lie. Raised each line $5 a month

Netflix on Us a lie. No ads that came with sign up paid for now $10.50 a month.

I haven’t changed but I tell anybody thinking about getting them not to believe a word they say.

I changed my family's plan from OnePlan to Go5G+. No regrets at all. Unlimited data without being deprioritized, higher hotspot limit (from OnePlan's non-existent hotspot) and being able to stream in 4K (honestly just 1080p is great on mobile) made it all worth it. Not to mention that we now get phone upgrade promos... we were already in a cycle of upgrading every 2-3 years without getting a promo for it.

If you want the coverage in the network, save yourself some money and switch to Google fi or you can pick your own T-Mobile MVMO but you'll get the same level of service with Google fi that you get with T-Mobile for a less price. I just left T-Mobile after over 16 years

Lmaooooooo ok shill. That's why T-Mobile is the SLOWEST for me in NYC. Verizon is faster and more consistent. But bahh sheep.

Did they increase your plan by 5 bucks per line ?

If AT&T is good where you are, you'd be crazy not to go with the BOGO deal. If you wanna go with Light Speed, and you don't know exactly how much data you'll be using, start with a pooled plan of say 10GB, and test things out to see how much data you'd use. Or just go straight to getting Unlimited Starter and not worry about counting data.

For occasional streaming, vacationing, and efficient home data use, our Annual Unlimited Premium at $32.50/month (100 GB high-speed) or the Annual Unlimited Starter at $22.50/month (35 GB high-speed) are your best bets.

If your usage varies, I can recommend something even more tailored (If you are willing to try Dark Star, there are amazing plans and deals going on for it) - I just need a quick estimate of your monthly data needs. ​Let me drop you a DM to help select the best plan for you and smoothly onboard you over to us.

How much of your bill is for the plan costs (and is it just for 5 total voice lines without anything else, or do you also have watch/tablet lines as part of the plan?), how much is for phone insurance costs, and how much of your $360 bill is for any devices? It will help gauge recommendations for plan costs.

Also, if any part of your bill is for phones/devices either with or without credits, another question is what are the approximate balances that are still owed on each device, and how many months left on the payment plans are there?

I always forget about Google Fi as it’s only a good deal if you have 4+ lines

Pay off your phones then get one of these:

1. Metro Unlimited - BYOD plan if you don’t need HotSpot, else Flex Unlimited or Flex Unlimited Plus
2. Mint Unlimited- get 3 months to start (or if you can afford it a year upfront is on sale) then make a Mint family plan for all lines and change renewal to 12 months - pay over time so you only pay quarterly
3. Google-Fi - just make sure lines don’t use more than 100GB each which is enough for 5 hours every day of 1080p HD video while not on WiFi

I am with T Mobile right now. I have my wife, 2 kids and mother in law on my account. Right now we are on Go5G Next and our bill is getting out of hand. We are paying $360 a month.

I am looking for a plan that can cover the kids heavy useage and Canada useage free.

How much do you pay per month for the plan itself? How much $ do you have left on the balances of all of your phones?

Spectrum and AT&T have had buyout (probably reimbursements) offers where they may pay you a reimbursement for the balance of what you owe on your phones to switch if you meet all of the requirements. But read all the fine print of any offer you might consider. Just in case it has any sort of provision to claw the payment back if you don’t meet a requirement 

Spectrum is on the Verizon network. You also have to consider other network coverage if you don’t plan to stay with T-Mobile or switch to a carrier on the T-Mobile network. 

You could probably save with Tello. Runs on T mobile. Cheapest plan with 1GB is $6. Most expensive 35GB plan is $25, with promo 3 month package for $15 ($45 total)

You'll need to pay off the phones if you want to switch.

US Mobile unlimited starter plan is $25/mo, or currently there is a promo for $19/mo if you prepay for a year

Depends on if you want T-Mobile coverage or att or Verizon I know metro and mint and ultra is T-Mobile and att has cricket and then verizon you have visible and TracFone carriers

Maybe Google FI if you like TMobile coverage. But 65 GB is too much for the Unlimited Standard plan (50 GB per line), you would have to go Unlimited Premium unless they can get their data usage down. Unlimited Premium is $160 plus taxes for 4.

Visible Plus plan (the middle one that is currently $30 per line) has unlimited priority data.

I would go with US mobile because you can get the starter plan which is practically unlimited lines Seriously hope you have something other to do than speed test on your phone because a normal average user won’t use more than 35 gigs of data and it keeps it right in your price range plus you got a nice slick designed a manager lines I know myself, I wouldn’t hesitate to throw four family members on the starter plan and if it’s on dark star, then it gets really good, but you specifically want the T-Mobile towers so that’s probably a little out of the realm of the question

T-Mobile will give you four Pixel 9as free after bill credits on Essentials and the plan itself would be $100+tax a month for four lines. This is a killer deal if postpaid is an option.

MetroPCS 4 lines unlimited data $100

check out google fi

google fi is the easy pick for you. They have T-Mobile's best and they are running a 50% off special. You can currently get their 50GB plan for 12.50 per line for 4 lines or half of what you want to pay. It's a no-brainer.

I switched from T-Mobile at the beginning of the year after many years. I moved over to US Mobile after a one month trial. It's been five months now and no regrets. My bill dropped over fifty bones and you have three network options and network switching with USM. Plus, I have found their customer service to be excellent. No regrets (so far).

The first question is, are you satisfied with TMobiles coverage, and how much data do you actually use? That’ll help narrow down the choices. Also, do you know what coverage from Verizon or AT&T is like where you use your phone?

DO NOT SWITCH TO VERIZON, they service is horrible Tmobile speeds are 3-4 times faster, and coverage is better. I was a tmobile customer for 15+ years and then I switched to Big Red and boy what a freaking mistake that was, the only thing good is $10 nore a day when roaming in other countries but other than that forget it,

Head to r/Tello r/mintmobile if you are satisfied with Tmobile's coverage in your area. Head to r/Visible and get on the 15-day free trial to check out Verizon's network in your area. Visible's data speeds might feel a bit sluggish during your free trial because it's equivalent to their $25 base plan with depriortized data. Visible's $35 and $45 plan have better data speeds. Head to r/Cricketwireless and try their 14-day free trial to test AT&T's network in your area. And no matter which carrier you choose, NEVER PAY FOR AN ANNUAL PLAN.

So here’s the deal - look at US Mobile. They’re an MVNO that has all three networks. You can switch between them and try them all out if you don’t like T-Mobile. Plans start at $8/mo (billed annually) and go all the way up to unlimited at $25/mo. You can then add more like more fast hotspot, etc. You get to build the plan that fits you - per line.

I moved several lines over from T-Mobile this year and I have two left on the essentials saver plan. I’ll probably be moving those over in the next few months. The only reason I haven’t is that US Mobile doesn’t fully support Apple Watch on all carriers, just VZ. Turns out that where I live, VZ has the slowest speed and T-Mobile has the better and faster coverage. So even when I port over, those lines will be on the T-Mobile network. Same service, half the cost.

One of the many reasons I’m locking down on my Magenta Max plan with price lock version 1.0. I don’t need the newest and greatest devices, I want my monthly to be the same or lower, making it easier for me to budget monthly. Ever since I switched to Magenta Max, my bill hasn’t changed and has stayed the same.

Doesn't get more competitive than offering Taxes and Fees included, especially at a time when most people have no idea how much things are going to cost in the next 90 days. Offering some stability and fixed pricing should be the competitive advantage.

Better yet, how about offering the exact same plans as AT&T and Verizon and making them $10 LESS per line. Save $40 over the others. It's small but it pays off.

Can we add more line on Go5G plans after today? I assume YES

Yup once it’s over I will switch to military and just close my free lines.

So, it's official. T-mobile has turned into comcast - oh, sorry, I meant xfinity (same turd w/ diff name).

I can still go from Go5G Plus to Next and still have the same benefits as of yesterday...right? Waiting for the new iPhones to come out. Thinking about making changes in September.
