  1. Our top pick for most people

    US Mobile Unlimited Starter

    Monthly$22.50 for one line
    DataUnlimited
    NetworkAT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile
    Hotspot10GB

    Why we recommend it

    US Mobile Unlimited Starter is our top pick for most people because it can be provisioned on AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile to match the strongest local network, while providing 70GB of premium data on Warp or Light Speed, 10GB of hotspot, and taxes included for $22.50 per month.

    What to know

    Hotspot and high-speed data terms vary by selected network, so buyers must check both local coverage and the network-specific limits.

    DataUnlimited

    Why we recommend it

    US Mobile Unlimited Flex is our budget unlimited pick because its $17.50 monthly equivalent includes taxes, 10GB of high-speed data, 5GB of hotspot, and a choice of AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile coverage, provided you can prepay for 12 months and accept reduced speeds after 10GB.

  4. Our top pick for light use

    Tello Mobile 2GB Plan

    Monthly$10 for one line
    Data2GB

  5. Our top pick for adults 50 and older

    Consumer Cellular Unlimited — Age 50+

    Monthly$35 for one line
    DataUnlimited
    NetworkAT&T

    Why we recommend it

    Where AT&T coverage is strong, Consumer Cellular’s age-50-plus unlimited plan offers 35GB of high-speed data, unlimited talk and text, and support-focused service for $35 per month with AutoPay and eBilling.

    What to know

    The account holder must be at least 50, taxes cost extra, and single-line speeds may be reduced after 35GB.

  6. Our top pick for heavy hotspot use

    Visible Visible+ Pro

    Monthly$45 for one line
    DataUnlimited
    NetworkVerizon
    HotspotUnlimited @ 15 Mbps

    Why we recommend it

    Where Verizon coverage is strong, Visible+ Pro supplies unlimited hotspot service capped at 15 Mbps, unlimited priority phone data, 4K video, and taxes included for $45 per month.

    What to know

    The $45 monthly price is worthwhile mainly for sustained tethering, and the hotspot never delivers full-speed mobile data.
