Mint Mobile

Mint stands out with a unique plan structure, selling service in bulks of 3, 6, and 12 months. The larger the monthly package, the lower the monthly rate. Mint portrays itself as a solution to the big carrier’s ever-increasing price rates.Mint Mobile (which until recently was owned by Ryan Reynolds), has a solid 3 out of 5 stars.

Mint’s plans are pretty basic, which isn’t a bad thing. In fact, the lack of frills is part of what keeps them more affordable than the major carriers’ plans. In addition to the talk, text, and data, each plan also includes mobile hotspot access, which counts against your plan’s high-speed limit (on the Unlimited plan, hotspot is limited to 10GB). Get their unlimited plan for ONLY $15/month—which includes 10GB of hotspot data! You won’t find that with the Big 3!

US Mobile

If data speeds are still a major concern, carriers like US Mobile offer plans with guaranteed premium (i.e., high-speed) data allowances ranging from 25GB to a whopping 100GB! Plus with the addition of US Mobile’s new Dark Star network, you can switch between any of the Big 3 providers’ networks at will to get the fastest coverage wherever you are. You can get their unlimited starter plan for $20/month, which includes 10GB of hotspot data.

Tello Mobile

Tello Mobile offers more plan options than many of its MVNO peers. Not only does it have standard prebuilt options, but you can also build your own plan with customized data amounts and minutes.

The prebuilt limited data plans include unlimited talk and text. These plans start as low as 1GB of data for $9/month and go as high as 10GB for $19/month. They also include mobile hotspot capability, but no dedicated hotspot data. Instead, hotspot usage is deducted from the total high-speed data allotment of your plan.

Twigby

Twigby has emerged as a key player in the competitive arena of MVNOs—small carriers that sell discounted service on one or more of the major networks. Twigby operates on Verizon’s robust network, one of the largest and most reliable in the United States, offering customers a blend of quality service and affordability.

Twigby quietly assures significant savings on your monthly phone bill, catering to the practicalities of everyday communication needs with a mid-range plan of 10GB of data for $10/month. If you want to save even more, they have plans starting as low as $5/month for 2GB of data, so you can expect a straightforward phone service that can meet your needs.

Visible Wireless

Smaller carriers, or mobile network operators (MVNOs), use the exact same cell towers as the major carriers do. Visible Wireless, for example, uses Verizon’s towers, which means, at just $20/month, you get the SAME COVERAGE for 70% LESS IN PRICE, compared to Verizon’s starting price of $65/month. Yes, it’s a bit more than $15/month, but you get a ton of value for that extra $5 (great coverage, unlimited hotspot.
