Ask Lemmy

Have lived in the states my whole life.

No idea how much it costs since I'm still on parents plan. We supposedly get something like unlimited data, but it slows down after a certain amount used.

Don't know whether the 5G even works on my phone since I can't tell the difference between it and 4G on the other phones I've had in the past.

There's a specific spot in my city I absolutely hate riding by on bus because at this one specific light I swear service just dies until we get passed it (which takes what feels like forever since the bus somehow always hits it at red or just turning red).

Otherwise, no complaints other than the time I had to uninstall corporate spyware (social media/games) that they decided I absolutely needed in my life after an update. I'm thankful that they didn't push them as system apps.

Also thankful that the phone I got came with a sim card slot and they let me transfer my number to a new one because I couldn't retrieve my old one.

I live in the USA and I use Mint Mobile, I pay $20 a month for 15gb of data a month along with unlimited texts and calls. That was about the cheapest plan I could find for one person while still having a reasonable amount of data. It generally works pretty good although I have noticed sometimes especially if I'm at a busy place it can be a bit slow but that makes sense since they're just using other companies networks. I've also had a lot less issues now that I've set up Wi-Fi texting and calling correctly as I didn't realize I had to enable it in the Mint Mobile app for it to actually work correctly.

Canada, $225.00 for 4 lines and 2 phones 60 gb data Unlimited Canadian calling/international texting 5 free hours of data when activated via app The phones are a Pixel 7 and a Moto Razr+

México. I have Telcel. I pay 550 MXN (≈ 27 USD; €25.50; £21.20) and get 16 GB data + unlimited calling/text with free roaming in the United States and Canada. I also get free long distance to national numbers and United States and Canada.

One trick: my plan is technically 8 GB with a 2 × 1 promotion for 2 years. Every two years, all I do is ask them to renew my contract and my 2 × 1 promotion and I get my 16 GB back. I literally get 8 GB of data for the cost of a smile and a "por favor" every two years.

EDITED TO ADD: I get full 5G speeds in both México and in the United States and Canada. I get up to 200 Mbps in both México and the United States. While in the United States, I roam on the T Mobile network, so I'll get whatever the T Mobile network is capable of. I've never been to Canada, so I don't know how well it performs. But it's still part of my plan.

And, if I want native coverage in Latin America, EU, or UK, I can pay 950 MXN (≈ 46.60 USD; €44; £36.60) on demand for 10 GB of data for 30 days. Granted, travel eSIMs are a better deal, but the option is there.

Czechia, unlimited calls, texts and data. Data speed capped at 10mbit/s (1.25 MB) for 500 CZK/month (~20€). Unlimited data speed is about twice the price. Vodafone

US $20/mo with mint mobile 15gb data cap. Unlimited talk/txt. Sometimes I get 200mbps but it's usually like 20mbps. I don't think I've gone over 10gb. I work from home and usually use fiber Internet there - $60/mo for 300mbps up/down

USA, Visible Wireless $30 per month unlimited everything.

9€/month, 100Go (5G), unlimited call and SMS. France.

Three lines unlimited data calling and text included 70$/month. The business I opened my phone plan with has a policy of never raising rates ever. Ive been on the same plan close to a decade. It would be double if I opened a account today.

American here, we're on an AT&T family plan at $50 USD/month for each line. Yeah, it's expensive, but you get a lot for that price; unlimited talk, unlimited texts, and unlimited data (with no throttling); there's no roaming anywhere in Mexico, Canada, or the United States and no charges for calling international between those three countries (and I think that might also include the Bahamas, but I could be mistaken). We also get a 60 GB hotspot per line per month, but that part might be inside the US only, I've never used it during trips to Mexico or Canada.

$25 per year, 100GiB per month, Malaysia but it works in Singapore, texts and calls cost per minute... But I never use them.

US Mint Mobile $30/mo unlimited data, texts, calls. One of the best unlimited rates in the US. I use north of 12GB/mo so no limited plan is going to cut it for me.

USA, I've been using a $2.50/month plan from Red Pocket, but this thread reminded me that I need to renew for the coming year, and it appears the price has gone up to $3.75/month now. If that's really the case, I'm not exactly pleased about that.

It's just a bare bones plan with 200 minutes, 1000 texts, and 200MB of data. But I'm usually at home on Wi-Fi and I just use a Google voice number so I never really eat into the minutes or texts. I pretty much only use the data for emergencies like if I'm out driving somewhere and I wasn't able to plan and look up maps ahead of time.

9,99€ per month unlimited calls and messages and 140GB data. 50GB for EU roaming.

USA - AT&T Prepaid. $40 per month. Unlimited talk and text in/to the US, Mexico and Canada. “Unlimited” data BUT after 15GB 5G data, speed is reduced to 3G(?) speeds so email, messaging and other apps using light data still work OK but browsing is verrrrry slow - forget about streaming at that point (it also includes roll-over of unused data from previous month). I don’t usually go over the 15GB though due to wi-fi available most places I am usually at.

35GB, $46.78, Canada - Saskatchewan I get unlimited textand calls, 5G networking, Caller display, and voicemail.

• 5€/month for unlimited voice, text, net (romania) - I don't use this, since i moved away, but i've had this number since '99...
• 35€/month for 25gb net, unlimited voice, text (germany) - it's a bit more expensive since it includes a phone as well (i got the pixel 8 when it came out).
• 15-20€/month for 5-15gb and unlimited voice/text for my kids, also with phones (pixel 6a)
• 45€/month for home Internet - 1000 down / 200 up (cable), unlimited + landline (which is not connected/in use.

Switzerland: Just upgraded my plan to 18.90CHF (21.45usd) for unlimited 5G (1700mbps), calls and text in Switzerland and 20GB, 100 minutes and texts in EU and UK. I haven't switched my number yet so I'll have to see what coverage is like, but it will likely be very good cause switzerland.

Australia.

Amaysim, $10 a year.

calls 10c a min. text 5c. 1 GB of internet.

I just have it for calls coming in.

Otherwise you pay $10 a month but you get unlimited calls and text and I think a few GB of internet.

Germany

€39.95

80gb

I think all German numbers talk is included. But texting and external calls still costs additional money.

Spain, 38€/month for a phone line, 1000mbps, 1 phone with 100GB and unlimited calls/SMS 7 extra for an additional phpne

Netherlands - Odido 25€/month Unlimited data, calls and texts in the Netherlands. 45 GB of data and 120 minutes/month of calls in EU.

$25 a month, US, MVNO on Verizon network.

Had to bring my own phone, which is in bad shape and I’ll have to replace eventually, but I basically don’t think about my service at all.

That MVNO also has a program to heavily discount service for up to three months due to loss of job or temp disability, because, yknow, you need a phone number to look for a job.

That discount was damn nice when I had a couple of surgeries this year.

Unlimited data, calling, text. $60 including tax with google fi. United States

Between $25-$30/month. It's technically a dollar per gig of data up to 10gb, but I don't leave the house often so I use only a couple dollars worth. Also unlimited text and talk. In the US.

$180/mo for 5 lines of unlimited talk, text, and data, + free international calling. When I travel to other countries it's another $50/mo for international roaming in supported countries. Works in Mexico, Costa Rica, England, the Netherlands, Canada, and Germany, so far.
