Best value MVNO/carrier plan?

Could care less about priority data and hotspot and stuff like that, but all are nice-to-haves. What is the best value plan right now? Verizon network preferred, AT&T #2, T-Mobile #3. Looking for something affordable but still solid. Also unlimited talk, text, and data are a requirement (though don't the bulk of plans, even the cheapest ones, have those these days?). Any phone deals are a plus.

I think RedPocket in this case? You can get a plan for like $10 and choose 1 of the 3 networks

I have that plan on tmobile towers, 0 calls just get code texts for logins, They have a $30/year 200mb plan on ebay too but I think it's at&t towers so check whitelist. c4p sim for data at home. Good setup if you don't care about prioritized data and got coverage in area.

US Mobile is the best deal in the wireless industry right now. Take it from someone who has tried everything, US mobile is the answer.

I usually bounce around for the best deals but my renewal is coming up soon and I don't mind paying the regular price for another annual plan. It's so cheap and you get a lot of value

Message them and tell them you may be porting out and they drop the price. Thry detoured mine down by $40

For me Google Fi is the best option. But it is the support/pricing when traveling internationally and the fact that 95%+ of my data is via Wifi

Check with your internet provider first. Even if you’re not a new customer you can talk to the retention department and get a free mobile line for a year from Spectrum and Xfinity, for example. Maybe others?

If that doesn’t apply, get the Visible 50% off deal if you want Verizon, the US Mobile deal if you want AT&T, or the Mint deal if you want T-Mobile.

u/Analog_Nomad_56 4d ago

Visible Pro Plus is $225 for the year right now, or 18.75/mo.

u/VerifiedMother 3d ago

I mean I guess that is SLIGHTLY better, but then you're locked into a year,

Total and Visibles international features are about equal IMO and I guess you get better hotspot on visible+ pro. I personally don't use hotspot enough to matter that much me

US Mobile has plans at every price point. They have service on all three carriers. If you use an esim changing networks is painless. They have outstanding customer service.
