If you’ve been keeping an eye on the ever-changing US wireless industry for the last few months, you probably already know that T-Mobile has managed to disrupt the market several times since the beginning of this year alone with some very aggressively priced new plans and a truly unbeatable “free 5G phone upgrade” program.
Unless you’re absolutely sure you need just a fraction of that 100 gigs of “high-speed” data or absolutely want to spend less than 55 bucks a month, it’s obviously hard to recommend AT&T Prepaid’s 15GB Essential Data or Cricket’s 20GB Simply Data options, both of which are priced at $35. If you think about it, that’s not even dramatically less than $55.
Meanwhile, Verizon is basically not worth mentioning in the same breath as AT&T and T-Mobile when it comes to hotspot data-only plans, as highlighted in the chart above, which Magenta used to hype up its now-retired $50 for 100GB offer back in December 2020.
