Cricket Smart Unlimited is our balanced starting point for families that prefer AT&T coverage, while Cricket Supreme and Metro add more hotspot data or bundled extras. The catalog records one-line prices, so we do not invent family totals; confirm the exact two-, three-, or four-line price at checkout.

Best balanced family-ready plan
The $45 AutoPay price includes taxes and fees, unlimited data, 15GB of hotspot use, Mexico and Canada usage, international texting, and 100GB of cloud storage.
The first month costs $50, video is limited to 480p, and lighter users may not get enough value from the added features.
Best for hotspot data and included perks
The $55 AutoPay price includes taxes and fees, unlimited phone data, 50GB of hotspot use, Mexico and Canada usage, international texting, and bundled entertainment and storage benefits.
The first month costs $60, video is limited to 480p, and the price demands that you value the included hotspot and perks.
Best for bundled entertainment and upgrades
The current $55 AutoPay price includes taxes, unlimited premium 5G, 25GB of hotspot data, 1080p video, Amazon Prime, 100GB of Google One storage, and international texting to more than 210 countries.
It requires AutoPay, costs $65 for the first month, and remains dependent on T-Mobile coverage despite approaching the price of some full-service alternatives.
Best flexible-network alternative
We pick US Mobile Unlimited Starter for shoppers with solid local coverage on at least one selectable network because its $199 first-year annual price includes taxes, unlimited service, up to 70GB of premium data, 10GB to 20GB of hotspot data, and a choice of AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon, though it renews at the full price.
The introductory price requires $199 upfront, and service can slow after 70GB on Warp or Light Speed while hotspot allowances vary by network.
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.
