Slovakia, 300GB for 13 EUR/month, no texts and calls included. Those are 5 cents I think.
The carrier has an agreement with another one for coverage extension, but with official FUP of 20GB in that network.
This carrier however disregards that and instead allows up to 80GB, but for a few months after enabling 4G from that other carrier the FUP wasn’t applied at all.
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.
It operates on that other network like MVNO, and if your phone decides to stick there, which people report happens a lot, say hello to far lower FUP instead. The carrier’s own network is also generally far slower.
I also found a little network issue (tested with 2 phones) where receiving calls are broken in a fairly specific scenario, but I don’t know how to report that. To keep it short, if VoLTE isn’t available, when switching from 2 of the 4G bands to one of the 2G bands, the call fails to connect after several long seconds of silence on caller end, and no notification of failed call attempt is sent.
I can work around both issues by selecting specific bands as needed manually, but that generally requires root and use of app like Network Signal Guru (inconvenient).
This allows me to decide whether I want more data amount, faster network speed, better outgoing call coverage, or higher chance of receiving a call. Yeah… their network sucks.
I also believe they break the EU roam like at home regulation:
Most plans only have half the data amount it seems they should have, but maybe I just calculated that wrong.
But this plan I have has… ZERO data for EU roaming.
2 x (price of mobile bundle excluding VAT / regulated maximum wholesale cap per GB) = data limit (in GB) when roaming
Hmmm… how does that give a zero.
9€/month, 100Go (5G), unlimited call and SMS. France.
I am grandfathered into a Verizon (USA) plan from the time the FCC disallowed caps in exchange for 700MHz spectrum. I used 365GB of data in the first week of this month.
9,99€ per month unlimited calls and messages and 140GB data. 50GB for EU roaming.
Too much, not enough, Canada.
American, AT&T Prepaid 2gb data, think unlimited texting/calling, $30 a month. Mostly 4g lte, but I also can get 5g e.
$200 AUD, 200gb data, unlimited calls and texts. Amaysim In Australia.

So $200 per year for 200gb per month? Or 200gb per year?
Most UK phone plans are done monthly for everything.
Sorry, wasn’t clear, $200 for 200gb, 1 year expirey. Most are monthly here as well, but there are some yearly plans.
The good part of yearly plans is that I have plenty of data on the rare occasion that I’m on holiday or whatever, but with the lower average cost.
Here in the UK, I’m currently on unlimited everything, calls, messages and data, for £18 per month.
That is not bad. Who are you with? I’ve got 130gb data, unlimited calls and texts for £13/ month with EE SIM only.
It’s a two year old SIM only deal with Three. I’ve been with then for several years now and this contract expires in three weeks.
According to the app, I can upgrade to their Black Friday offer of the same conditions (unlimited everything) for just £22 a month! 😆
My contract will probably just keep rolling unchanged month to month but I wouldn’t be surprised if Three try and get me to commit to something.
Is it actually unlimited or some slow down after x amount?
Nope. Truly unlimited and I’m allowed to tether it as well. So when I’m in hotels away at work, it’s my source of internet for my tablet and laptop.
Three is truly unlimited. I used to have them when I lived in Ireland. For a year it was the only internet at my home, so I worked and had meetings daily with it, my wife would watch YouTube and her classes, and we would both watch Netflix and play some online games. All from hotspoting from our phones. Battery on the phones was a problem, but we never hit any sort of data caps with them, and we were using hundreds of GB per month for sure.
I’d recommend getting a WiFi router with 4G/5G modem if you find yourself in that situation again.
But then that would beat the purpose of only paying one bill for both phone and internet at home.
USA. 4 lines with unlimited calls, text, and data. International calling and roaming throughout US, Canada & Mexico. Metered by the mjnute/megabyte for international (off-continent) travel. All in, $200 monthly.
(TMO, magenta plan which is now defunct)
I have the same, plus a watch plan, two home internets, apple tv, netflix, and i just realized that we were paying insurance on 4 phones (that i need to cancel to save$60!) for $374/mo.
35GB, $46.78, Canada - Saskatchewan I get unlimited textand calls, 5G networking, Caller display, and voicemail.
Sweden, cca 50eur/month. Unlimited 5G with free calls and text, 50gb within EU+ some other countries outside, free data sim (in my home modem), up to 4 extra data sim cards for 1.75eur/month.
3€ per month
2GB
GermanyUnlimited texts, unlimited calls, 50GB data (music streaming is ignored), EU roaming, 5G for £10/month.
Also it’s crazy how much US and AU people are paying!
I’ve got 30GB + calls/texts for £8/month.
Bruh what all that for 10? I’m paying almost 6 times that amount 🤯🤯🤯
Call your mobile provider (and be prepared to jump ship to a different provider) and ask to speak to their “Retentions” department or team. Every big provider has a team whose job it is to keep customers by basically throwing sweeteners at them.
It’s crazy how many services do this if you just call up, asking to cancel. Sky or Virgin (can’t remember which as I’ve not watched broadcast TV in a few years) gave me 3 months free every time I called to cancel.
Keep in mind AUD is 0.51 GBP.
But yeah, still a lot.
Aaah, thanks for the insight.
$6 currently with MyTello. It’s a 2GB data plan and I think maybe 300 minutes if I’m not mistaken. $10 if I decide to make it 2GB data and unlimited text/minutes.
$25 in the US for unlimited talk, text, and data, from Visible, as part of a party
Same but the throttling on “busy” towers makes even basic web page loading pretty shitty. Decent deal still but the throttling is really bad
US Mint Mobile $30/mo unlimited data, texts, calls. One of the best unlimited rates in the US. I use north of 12GB/mo so no limited plan is going to cut it for me.
unlimited* = 40GB
This is true of all carriers here. It’s such bullshit that they’re allowed to use this verbiage when it’s obviously not the case.
Totally agree. It’s BS but at least Mint’s is fairly high. I stream all my music daily and watch whatever I want and typically it’s below 15GB/month. I’d have to be downloading Linux ISOs to hit 40.
I use north of 12GB/mo so no limited plan is going to cut it for me.
That’s not even so much, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised about the US. Especially after I’ve seen crap like Unlimited data + 5GB hotspot. Excuse me, that is clearly a limit.
For reference, I’ve used 225GB on my data this month, but it’s my only connection.
Right, on fiber at home I hit 1.7TB on average/month. This doesn’t include me working 40 hours on the company network either.
