Monthly$16.58 for one line
DataUnlimited
NetworkChoose AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile
Hotspot20GB on Dark Star; 10GB on Warp and Light Speed
Billing12 months prepaid
Our opinion
Where at least one of its three available networks performs well locally, US Mobile Unlimited Starter delivers 70GB of premium data on Warp or Light Speed, unthrottled high-speed data on Dark Star, 20GB of hotspot data, and taxes included for a $199 first-year annual prepayment for new lines.
What to know
The promotional price requires annual prepayment and renews at the full price, service and support are primarily online, and performance and data treatment depend on the selected network.
Where a locally strong AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile option is available, US Mobile Unlimited Flex provides 10GB of high-speed data, unlimited data afterward at reduced speed, 5GB of hotspot use, and included taxes for an effective $17.50 per month paid annually.
What to know
The plan requires annual prepayment, speeds are reduced after 10GB of high-speed data, and account management and support are online.
HotspotUnlimited on Dark Star; 50GB on Warp and Light Speed
Billing12 months prepaid
Our opinion
Where one of US Mobile’s available networks is strong locally, Unlimited Premium combines unlimited priority data and hotspot use with 20GB of international data and included taxes for a $299 first-year annual prepayment for new lines, with renewal at the then-current full price.
What to know
The first-year price requires full prepayment, renewal costs may rise, and international availability must be checked for each destination.
Where T-Mobile coverage is reliable locally, Tello’s $10 monthly plan is an excellent Wi-Fi-first choice with 2GB of data, the full 2GB available for hotspot use, unlimited talk and text, and no long prepayment commitment.
What to know
Cellular data stops after the 2GB allowance, and service depends entirely on local T-Mobile coverage.
Where AT&T coverage is reliable locally, Consumer Cellular’s age-50-plus unlimited plan offers 35GB of high-speed data for one line at $35 per month with AutoPay and eBilling, plus access to AARP savings and a support-focused service model.
What to know
The account holder must be at least 50, the advertised price requires AutoPay and eBilling, and speeds may fall after 35GB on a single line.
Where Verizon performs well locally, Visible+ Pro offers unlimited hotspot use capped at 15Mbps, unlimited priority phone data, an included smartwatch line, and taxes included for $45 per month.
What to know
The $45 monthly price is substantial for online-first service, and hotspot performance remains capped at 15Mbps.

Monthly$90 for one line
DataUnlimited
NetworkT-Mobile
Hotspot60GB
Our opinion
Where T-Mobile’s network is strong locally, Experience More pairs unlimited premium phone data with 60GB of hotspot use, 5GB of data in more than 215 countries, major streaming benefits, and retail support for $90 per month before taxes and fees.
What to know
The $90 single-line price is high before taxes and fees, and T-Mobile coverage can be less dependable in some rural or remote areas.
Start with coverage where you use your phone most, then compare the complete bill, high-speed data, hotspot limits, prepayment, taxes, eligibility, and support. SaveOnPhone lists the full market, and payment never determines our recommendations.
