Germany - 20€/month, 100GB of 5G data in Germany and all of Europe, unlimited calls and texts, roaming to Switzerland is not included though
35CHF for unlimited 5G, text and calls in Switzerland and Europe. 39CHF for 10GB fibre at home.
Ireland, 20 euro for a month of unlimited data, no throttling (that I've noticed), unlimited calls and texts in Ireland and enough EU ones that I don't worry about it.
I use services that sell my data so that I get free cellular service. One I use is 250mb free, the other is 3GB + calls free
With Smarty in the UK I pay £6 for 8GB monthly and my partner pays £7.20 for 16GB
Only issue I have is that it uses the 3 network and we both get shitty reception in the Yorkshire dales whenever we visit there
US, $75 per 3 months, 5GB data and unlimited talk and text. Mint Mobile. The Ryan Reynolds phone company.
USD $200 for eight lines with unlimited data, calls, text; international coverage only for texting. So it works out to $25 each but I don't think we could get that price on fewer lines. Large family.
18€, 20GB data in all of EU, unlimited voice and SMS
Edit: France
I see some people get by with a tiny bit of data. Is that because you have wifi at home and work. I have no WiFi at work so I got through a lot of data.
Sweden, I am on Telia, on a highly expensive unlimited plan at 580SEK/month....
I really need to get on Fello...
Italy, 8€/mo., 100GB data (5GB if travelling in EU), unlimited calls and SMSs
Net is £2 a month for 6gb data and unlimited calls and texts from O2, although I never use those really. It should be £6 a month, but I get £4 discounted as two streaming services I would buy anyway I buy via them so I get a discount for each.
Most places I use my phone I have WiFi, data is only really used for background services and maps otherwise. You can purchase data add ons from them for reasonable fees for a month if I ever did need it for travel. Although I am more likely to get a local sim as it's far far cheaper than roaming outside the EU normally.
The main reason I use O2 is that it also doubles my home broadband speed for free to 1gb up and down. That means having their phone line actually costs me -£6 a month.
I am looking to move my partners phone over later this year to O2 and thst should double the speed to 2gb up and down for the same price.
US currently $10/mo for unlimited phone/text, 1gb data. I can switch it to Unlimited data for $25/mo
Tello
Yeah I had tello for a while but went to usmobile to get $6/mo for 1g/mo but had to prepay for the whole year. I did 500mb/mo on tello for $8/mo.
180/year on mint mobile, in the US
Paid yearly. 5gb of data but that's all I need.
Canada, 33$CAD a month for unlimited calls and texts and 2gb of data
Smarty user here. Seems like there's a lot of us. UK, £14/mo for unlimited everything with no throttling (I've tried). Includes EU/EEA roaming capped at 12GB.
$65/month unlimited everything, Verizon, USA
$120 for three lines with unlimited 5G internet + calls/texts (slower speeds after 50GB but still pretty fast). Also free roaming and calls/texts/internet while in Canada and Mexico.
Definitely not the best, but also not the worst.
I don't pay myself, but it's about 7€ I think. Portugal.
20€/month, Germany, started the plan half a year ago, will be over in one and a half. Unlimited SMS/calls, 35GB (at least, maybe even more, I don't use nearly as much) data. Got a (carrier unlocked, because we're not in the US) Pixel 8 Pro with it.
USA, $9/mo. ($9.36 with taxes/fees) for unlimited talk/texts and 1GB data.
UK, £10/mo 120G data, all you can eat voice/SMS (was an offer on smarty)
- Japan.
- JPY 980 per month.
- Plan includes up to 3GB per month 4g/5g data, and when going over 3GB, the data cap increases to 20GB for an additional JPY 1000. Unlimited voice and text, global roaming to 90 countries included.
Still don't get bars inside some big buildings though :p
Sounds like Rakuten!
66.58 CHF (80.51 USD) for Unlimited everything in Switzerland. Internet is another 66.58 CHF a month.
Sweden. I pay 150 SEK (~16 USD) for 8GB/month.
Unused data is transferred over to the next month, so running out of data has never been a problem for me.
Germany Fraenk.de 19 GB 10 € unlimited calls and texts D1 Network
Sign up using my referral code for an extra 3 GB per month for free. JRGB319
It’s an eSIM contract and super fast to sign up. Can be cancelled every month.
