Update 11-20-2020 #1: Looks like the plan detail is out on AT&T prepaid site. Looks like the new plans lost the HD video streaming but Canada and Mexico roaming stays on the 15GB plan.

It is NOT on the website yet, but when you login to your prepaid account, select the Plan tab and you will see the new $40 Plan with 15GB and $30 Plan with 5GB. I changed the plan since today is my renewal day.

Also they removed the autopay discount on these new plan with a more straight forward pricing.

You still get multi-line discount with these new plans. For 2 lines on the $30 plan you pay $25 per line ($30 x 2 - $10)/2.

Tips #1: Change plan on the day before renewal to avoid excessive prorated charges.

Tips #2: Buy prepaid refill online at Target year round promotion to save an extra 10 to 15% and pay no taxes!

$40 15GB Monthly Plan
Good for 30 days upon payment of applicable plan charge. Not eligible for AutoPay discount. Unlimited Talk & Text: Includes unlimited talk and text within and between the U.S., Mexico & Canada and unlimited text from the U.S. to over 100 countries.

Q: Can someone clarify if AT&T prepaid WiFi calling works on all Unlocked phones? Why I ask is, I am using Cricket wireless and WiFi calling works only on Cricket branded phones and my home doesn't have good signal and rely on WiFi calling

Your comment cannot be blank.

I've been on the 8gb + 17gb walmart/At&t Prepaid plan for over a year and it looks like they're still offering it. 25gb of full speed data with hotspot for $40.00 per month is still a pretty good deal. Ya just need to purchase a cheap prepaid phone from them. I actually ended up returning mine after I got the 17gb bonus data.
Verizon Prepaid is heavily deprioritized in crowded areas.
These look like decent, single-month commitment options without much hoops to jump through. But I agree the Walmart plan is better at $40 and even the yearly $300 ($25/month) is better for the lowest price; that $300/year is 8 GB plus rollover and tethering. The catch is that you need to port in and have to commit for the year. My wife just renewed her yearly plan for the same price.

Quote from TheKingofDeals :
Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it! It seems each of the MVNO have some catch. Either wifi calling doesn't work, missing visual voicemail or video is throttled. I feel like Mint has the closest to everything I want and reasonable pricing for 10gig. I think I may just have to test drive them both before porting my number over to either.

BTW https://www.bestphoneplans.net/ shows that US Mobile video is throttled to 480P. Workaround of course is use a VPN which you did.

That link doesn't have the latest info on US Mobile plans.

The $45 plan is the Unlimited All plan. Both T-Mobile and Verizon services have eSIM and international calling and data roaming included. T-mobile has wifi calling too. That $45/mo becomes $25/mo per line if you sign up for at least 3 lines. They give you 1 perk for 3 lines...2 perks for 4 lines. The Disney+ Hulu ESPN+ bundle is $20/mo and Spotify Family is $14/mo. So for 4 Unlimited All lines plus the 2 perks, we're paying a total of $100/mo.

They just introduced a new pooled plan which gives you unlimited calls and text plus shared data for all lines. I think it's like $9 per phone line plus $2 per GB. So let's say you have 4 lines and 20gb shared data...it'll be $36 + $40...something like that. If you're gonna pay this much though, better to just get the Unlimited All plan especially is you're already subscribing to video game, video/audio streaming services such as Playstation Network, Netflix, Disney+ Spotify etc.


Best to checkout their site for their latest plans. When I was doing research, all of the comparison charts I saw were incorrect/not up to date. So better to just go to each MVNO's site to check latest deals.

Cool, I wouldn't have thought to check my plan options otherwise. I moved from 6gb @ $40/mo (after autopay discount) to $30/mo for 5gb. Nice $130/yr savings (less taxes now too).

Nope -- if you pay directly with ATT then they'll add them on top of monthly price

If you buy ATT prepaid refill cards from Target website then you won't -- look for a sale and combine with 5% Target RedCard discount

T-Mobile cuts of your data completely on the $25 connect plan. No throttled data. Something to take in consideration.

You are correct the info on that site is not updated. I reached out to US Mobile support.
Was told "The video is not throttle down and played at original content
And we do not offer local roaming
Wi-Fi Calling is offered on our GSM services
And visual voicemail is only on Super LTE
You might have to choose one of the service"

I hear a lot of complaints about Tmobile and Mint. Their GSM uses the same Tmobile backbone I believe. I may go with the Super LTE SIM Card which uses Verizon network like Visable.

Good thing with US Mobile is you can switch any time between their Super LTE and GSM service (or vice versa). Before we signed up, I was able to request 4 sets of sim cards instead of paying $4 each. each set comes with T-Mobile and Verizon sim. When or if they start offering wifi calling in their Super LTE, I'll switch...or maybe not considering T-Mo has better 5G coverage than Verizon. Hot tip...Hotspot works, too w/o extra fees for both. 😉

So far, I have no complaints on their T-Mo service. I've only been with them for a month though. So time will tell. Not too worried about it since I'm not paying 3 months or 1 year prepaid service like what Mint Mobile is making its customers do.

For potentially useful context: Detroit, Michigan based. Have been on ATT contract for a decade. Then a year on cricket. Now a year on ATT prepaid.
Service is fine now but when I lived in the next city over I had ZERO service within my home. Like, get notified for a voicemail when the phone never rang.
Also my hotspot works great for about 5 minutes and then stops sending data, every time. But I just switched to a unlocked Oneplus 8 5G that was originally Verizon based. So that could be a factor.

I switched from Walmart's StraightTalk to this $30 plan a few months ago and it's great. My phone kept missing group texts and mms intermittently, and then just stopped being able to send mms altogether and StraightTalk's tech help was useless. I switched to this, swapped my sim, and everything works great. I did have to call them and request the port once it got stuck in their system, but other than that it's a huge improvement. Rollover data is nice too, but I rarely use much anyway.

Think I pay $40/month for 16GB of data with Verizon. My calls are crystal clear, as if I am talking to a person 5 ft in front of me. I didnt experience such clear calls (and coverage pretty much everywhere) with any other carrier or nvmo.

Att is the shadiest when it comes to prepaid, my brother had a 50 dollar plan which supposedly was all in everything included, he cancelled his line after one month was 250 dollars (for roaming charges). Buyer beware!!!!!! [mind you he never left the state and they're only supposed to charge when you go to Canada or Mexico]

Quote from luckydog97 :
This isn't bad, and AT&T coverage is good, but Verizon prepaid is only $25/month for unlimited talk, text, and 5GB of data after 9 months, with autopay. The plan starts at $40, with $5 off for setting up autopay, then $5 off per month at the 3 month mark, and another $5/month at the 9 month mark. That seems like the best deal to me, at the moment, for one line.
Can I use any unlocked phone on the Verizon prepaid plan or just ones that they sell?
