How would this compare to Cricket four lines $100 including all tax on the AT&T network ?
I've had Cricket for 8 years now with no issues - but I am always looking for a better deal.
I have cricket 5 lines for $100. The bad thing with cricket, can't use the phone outside of USA. Need to pay extra
One other benefit on this plan, is that it comes with 5gb of hotspot tethering per month, and while you don't get txt/data internationally, they did add Mexico and Canada to the list a few months back, so you can use data and make calls/texts when traveling there.
Longtime Fi customer. A year ago we switched from the basic tier to this new (at the time) mid-tier, sale overall monthly cost even with an additional line (from 2 to 3). Soft data cap was raised, and 5 GB for tethering was added. That was important, as I had several devices on data-only SIMs which are no longer offered on this tier. Top tier is significantly more expensive and I can make do with this no problem.
Was tempted to add another line for a measly $5 for more network and tethering data, but I don't really need it, it was just this, a thought.
I switched to Google Fi a few months back from ATT Prepaid. I was paying $75 for 2 lines with ATT Prepaid and was very happy with the service but always thought I could do better on price. When I switched I did the 4 lines for $80 and I am really disappointed. Each month my bill ends up being about $96. The worst thing though is my data speeds are noticably slower even when it says I'm in 5G. Sometimes it's as slow as dial up when I am needing it most it seems. I am no where exceeding my data limits so I guess this is normal with their service. I guess data traffic have a lower priority than cell tower owner traffic, I dunno. I wish I could find a service as good as ATT Prepaid for a net price of $80 for 4 lines.
Try cricket. Uses ATT towers so similar to ATT prepaid.
This is tempting and I thought Google Fi uses multiple carriers when roaming?
*Also, any idea how much taxes and fees would add up approx for 4 lines?
**UPDATE: A friend of mine told me in TX for the 2 lines unlimited data plan for $80 the taxes and fees are $18, which is A LOT! So I imagine for 4 lines, those would be even higher.
$18 tax and fee on $80 isnt alot. its always 15% to 20% of the bill. its the gov and 911 thing. they cant make it up.

the people who still had the cricket 5 lines for $100 all got forced to move to a new more expensive plan a few months ago. are you sure you're still paying $100 for 5 lines with cricket. check your latest charge.
Small correction - it's US CELLULAR in other areas, not US mobile.
US Cellular is very good in northern Missouri, but T-Mobile has added towers. There used to be a huge gap in the Kirksville area with TM, but they have seemingly fixed it, and it's very fast now.

I used to have that plan - My plan I can make calls in Mexico and Canada
As said many times this has been around for > 6 months..

Try metropcs. That uses t-mobile towers.
Both should be around $100 for 4 lines.
