Mint Mobile will now remove the data cap on its unlimited plan, making it even better value.The plan was previously capped at 35GB, with reduced data rates for going over. https://www.androidpolice.com/min...-data-cap/
We need the official confirmation about the 36gb capacity removal!

What are some good plans for 4 or 5 phones, unlimited data, some hotspot. Currently on Cricket paying $100 for 4 lines.
That was my old price for 4 lines of T Mobile Magenta, before they raised prices on me.

I left T Mobile & went with Visible $20/month unlimited plan.

Not SO Fast! Check out the new USM unlimited plan on their Dark Star (T Mobile) network.
I think Dark Star is AT&T

Correct. In US Mobile-ese, Darkstar = AT&T, Warp = Verizon, Light Speed = T-Mobile.

They offer priority data on Verizon/Warp only, as far as I know. I tried it last summer at a large music festival, and saw the fastest data speeds I've ever seen in my life, despite there being 80k people in an area that usually has a few hundred. I heard that Verizon brought in temporary equipment to serve the crowd, but the point is that US Mobile customers got the same speeds as expensive Verizon plans, while T-Mobile service has historically been very hit and miss there, at least with MVNOs.

Being able to switch networks is very nice, and an unusual perk with US Mobile. When I switched, I knew T-Mobile had weak spots where I work, and Verizon sucks at my house. So I'm using AT&T's network now but will switch to Verizon when I go back to that festival, or if I get stuck in a weak/dead spot out of town or something.

Good luck getting an AT&T SIM from Boost any more, and I believe they've converted all of the old Verizon users over to Dish/T-Mobile by now.

I miss us mobile but that $180 for the year mint deal brought me back. Mint works great where I am and it's 900 Mbps+ speeds. But if I go any city that's busy, my service instantly craps the bed. I have a backup esim for that but I guess it's more important it works where I am 80% of the time.

Side note, I was trying to change networks once on us mobile and then everything got lost. Had to go through all the normal trouble shooting things before they would issue another esim. They also weren't able to get me back on my old physical sim which I prefer since I can only run a physical and on esim if I want to do dual

My Safelink tracphone sim is working fine on VZW towers and I don't have the guts to mess with Lifeline. I also have a backup Red Pocket sim. Better not mess with it either over Tmobile towers.. Nice to know I can switch though, I'm just not as techie as I used to be, since the free Tello mobile days.

So it was not-really-unlimited before and in the future it will be even more not-really-unlimited. UNLIMITED HYPE*

(not actually unlimited, a word which has no meaning whatsoever)

Spectrum - Verizon

Edit: I see "Charter Spectum" listed above.
Charter Communications does business as just "Charter" and in other regions just as "Spectrum". The product on both carriers they call "Spectrum Mobile" I switched to It from Verizon post-paid a year ago and have not noticed any difference in quality. Saving about $50 a month.

I got this plan when it was on the half off price of 180$. Still have to activate. Will this apply to me?

Check the new plans on Dark Star (ATT), apparently truly unlimited with priority.
I actually don't use that much data (I'm on 5GB from mint and hardly use 1 most months unless I'm travelling). T-Mobile has a tower right near my house and I get like 200Mbit so it is nice to know it is there if I have a power or internet outage.

ATT isn't too bad here, had that years ago, but I've got another year with Mint before I make any decisions. US Mobile seems to really push the Verizon SIM so it is sort of hard to tell what exactly the ATT and T-Mobile ones include and don't (they make the TMO one sound like it is 4G when I highly doubt it is).

Anyone that has Xfinity mobile with the "by the gig" plans that they jacked up the prices on, I've pointed toward US Mobile though, same Verizon network and 2GB for $10 a month, double the data and half the price of xinfity (and extra gigs are a fraction of the price too).
