Picking a cell phone plan is no small decision. Here are some expert hacks to help you choose the right one:
– Calculate the amount of data you need: Not everyone requires unlimited data (or an unlimited data plan with an extremely high limit).
– Make a price comparison: Various tools can help you compare prices to ensure you’re getting the best deal in the market.
– Read the fine print: Not every cell phone plan is self-explanatory. A majority of them, particularly the inexpensive plans, have different limitations(such as price spikes and data slowdowns).
Take a look at the top plans right now:
T-Mobile’s Magenta MAX
While some of its earlier problems remain — especially inadequate 4G coverage in rural regions — it has turned out to be capable of outperforming the competition in the most important areas: data allotments, data speeds, and 5G coverage.
And it has been able to achieve all of this while still being relatively less expensive on average than AT&T and Verizon. If you desire blazing speeds for scrolling, gaming, streaming, posting, and everything else, T-Mobile is definitely the perfect carrier for you.
Mint Mobile’s Unlimited Data Plan
Mint’s unlimited data isn’t exactly the least expensive one in the market. Cheaper plans are offered by Ting and Tello. However, those two feature a 22 GB and 25 GB data cap, respectively, which can hardly be called unlimited.
After you exhaust your data cap, your data speeds will be significantly reduced (think of switching from broadband to dial-up).On the other hand, Mint Mobile’s unlimited plan includes a decent 35 GB worth of high-speed data. The amount is possibly sufficient for most casual users.
Verizon Wireless’s Do More Unlimited Plan
Verizon has lost the race to T-Mobile in the competition for data speeds, but the coverage it provides still takes the gold medal. In 2022, Verizon’s network will fetch you 4G coverage in 70% of the United States, making it the best carrier in this regard.
This high-quality coverage may not be significant for those who reside in major metropolitan areas, where the coverage is good with every carrier. However, those who reside in rural areas of the West will almost definitely want to explore Verizon (there are some regions where Verizon is really the only player in town).
