The short answer
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.
We may earn a commission when you sign up through a carrier link. We list every plan in the catalog, paying or not. How we're funded.

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.
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.
