Current family-ready plans compared by included data, hotspot, network, taxes, and useful extras.
Reviewed
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
For $45 with AutoPay, it includes taxes and fees, unlimited data, 15GB of hotspot use, international texting, Mexico and Canada usage, and 100GB of cloud storage.
The first month costs $50, video is capped at 480p, and cheaper unlimited plans may offer better value if you do not need its extras.
Best for hotspot data and included perks
The $55 AutoPay rate includes taxes and fees, unlimited data, 50GB of hotspot use, Mexico and Canada usage, international texting, cloud storage, and HBO Max Basic with Ads.
The first month costs $60, video is limited to 480p, and the price is difficult to justify unless you use its hotspot and bundled extras.
Best for bundled entertainment and upgrades
The tax-inclusive AutoPay price includes unlimited premium 5G data, 25GB of hotspot use, 1080p video, Amazon Prime, 100GB of Google One storage, and international texting to more than 210 countries.
The first month costs $65, AutoPay is required for the advertised rate, and travelers receive international texting rather than included roaming data.
Best flexible-network alternative
We recommend US Mobile Unlimited Starter for shoppers willing to prepay $199 for the first year because it includes taxes, offers locally selectable AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile service, and provides unlimited data with 10GB or 20GB of hotspot depending on the chosen network, though Warp and Light Speed include only 70GB of premium data.
The $199 rate requires annual prepayment for a new line, renews at full price, and delivers different data and hotspot terms on each 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.
