The US is among the most expensive countries for mobile data plans.

If you live in the US, consider contracting with a foreign provider!

US Mobile has updated their plans so there are really only two tiers

• Unlimited Plans from $25-50/month
• Pooled Data Plans

Both are now tax inclusive (about time), have higher throttling speeds when you hit your cap, and appear to have the same cut off point before throttling happens on their VZN and TMO networks.

But they’re arguably a bit more expensive too now, especially if you used to be on a not unlimited plan. What do you think?

The Boost Infinite Unlimited SIM kit will be available to Amazon Prime subscribers at $25 a month for unlimited talk, text and data services. Dish and Amazon did not disclose their financial arrangement

Hey folks, I've been trying out AT&T Postpaid (I know, I know, this is more of a prepaid group). Prior to joining, it was a real paid to estimate what the taxes and fees would be. Well, now that I have that information from my bill, I'm sharing it out.

This sheet shows the monthly charges (2 lines on Starter + 1 on Extra, all with 25% discount from having AT&T Fiber). It also shows the fees breakdown and does a line by line comparison with what AT&T public docs say the fees could be.

Happy to answer any questions.

Red Pocket completely shut off my service without warning for going 6GB over my 10GB "unlimited" plan. They said I was using an unreasonable amount of data, but wouldn't tell how much is "unreasonable". I can't trust a lifeline to a company that will shut off service like that. I'm going to try Visible and see how that works out.

Does anyone have any experience with mint mobile in the USA Northeast?

I know they were acquired by t mobile but I’m currently on AT&T and looking into trying to save a little money.

Simple Mobile led the way in sales in the past quarter. Following behind them is Ultra/Mint Mobile. H2O wireless has the fastest growth.

Important to note: This survey only appears to survey actual independent dealers. So for example, US Mobile which only sells directly to consumers on their website, wouldn’t be eligible for this survey.

So take it with a grain of salt but, are you surprised or does this check out with you?

Customers that use over 35GB of high-speed data during a billing cycle may have their data speeds temporarily slowed down compared to other customers on the same network when the network is congested

In summary:

• Plans are getting more data. The cheapest $20/month plan goes from 2 GB -> 3 GB and the most expensive $60 plan doesn't get a data bump, but does get a dedicated 20 GB hotspot pool.
• Data Throttling Speeds increase from 128 to 256

No experience with this provider, but seems like a really great rate for low data users who travel into Canada or Mexico

Apple is making a major change to its Apple Card Monthly Installment purchase option for iPhone buyers. Starting in August, Apple says that it will no longer allow customers to purchase SIM-free iPhone models using Apple Card financing. Instead, carrier connection with AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon will be required.

Incredibly expensive to build out a new cell network, and Dish deserves all of the credit in the world for its speed of delivery. Rooting for them, competition is good!

As this community is just getting started, I thought it could be fun to see what people are using today.

I'll go first:

• iPhone 14 Pro
• Using Boost Infinite Early Access Plan @ $25/mo for unlimited (on TMobile Towers)

Overall quite happy with the service. I'm not a heavy data user so I could save a few bucks on a pooled plan for USMobile, but I figured I'd snag the unlimited pricing while it was available to future proof a bit.

7/25/2021 - small update to Verizon and ATT

8/6/2021 - removed priority data from Spectrum Mobile

10/29/2021 - Cricket has revamped their plans, updated priority levels. The $60 Unlimited More plan is now prioritized. Red Pocket GSMA no longer has a speed throttle on LTE or 5G. Pure Talk has been reported to not have one anymore either.

11/5/2021 - It seems that some people still have the 75Mbps speed cap on Red Pocket GSMA so YMMV. My own testing over the last month with a GSMA SIM found no such cap as I got speeds consistently in excess of 100 and even 200Mbps.

12/31/2021 - Removed Total Wireless from QCI 8. Nobody has furnished me with any proof of QCI 8 and some people have confirmed that their Total runs slower than their Verizon postpaid which confirms deprioritization.

ust remember that even though a phone might work technologically, some devices still don't work correctly on another provider.
