- David and David here
to tell you about the best cell phone plans of the month.
Before we do, we get approached by companies
every single week, dozens of them.
We turn most of those down,
because we only wanna recommend companies
that we really believe in,
and Visible is one of those companies.
- Visible is not an MVNO.
They are a full stack carrier.
They're fully owned and operated by Verizon.
Verizon and Visible are exactly the same
in terms of coverage.
- Visible has one plan.
It's an unlimited data plan powered by Verizon,
including 5G.
That plan also includes unlimited minutes,
unlimited messages, mobile hotspot
with speeds up to five megabits per second,
international calling to Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico,
and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- So, basically, it's an awesome plan,
and the price, as low as $25 a month.
It's ridiculously good.
And you're gonna see this plan later in this video
on our best plans of the month list.
And they have a promotion where you can bring a friend,
so for each friend that you refer,
you get one month of cell phone service for $5.
- And the friend also gets that same price.
- Indeed, so it's a pretty easy sell to them.
Also, they have one plan,
so it's the Party Pay plan.
The way that that works is you can have
as many people as you want in your party.
Just keep adding them.
It could be a college roommate.
Everything's private.
Can be just a friend.
You don't get to see their phone calls.
They don't get to see yours.
How hard is it to sign up for Visible?
Not hard, especially if you have a phone
with eSIM capability.
If you don't have a phone with eSIM,
they'll overnight you a SIM card.
And if you want to buy a phone through them, you can,
and they'll overnight you the phone, too,
but you don't have to.
- Right, you could also bring your own phone if you want.
- Yeah, yeah, just keep your phone, switch to Visible.
Now you're gonna get a much better deal,
especially for a family of 4, 100 bucks a month.
Unlimited data we're talking about here.
You could just download the Visible app right now
and switch in 10 minutes
and be paying as low as $25 a month.
That is not actually a bad idea.
So, let's get to our best plans of the month section,
and we're gonna come back to the Visible plan
in just a second, but first:
- Let's talk about the Verizon 5 gigabyte prepaid plan.
We both have this plan, unlimited minutes,
unlimited messages, five gigabytes of high-speed data,
then unlimited low speed data.
No overcharges, mobile hotspot is included with that.
- I don't even know what else to say about this plan,
except we both have it, as David said.
It's a great plan. - The price,
pricing structure. - It's a little weird.
- So, starts at $35 a month
once you get that $5 autopay and paperless billing discount,
then after three months, it drops to $30 a month.
Then after nine months, it drops to $25 a month.
That's where we are right now,
'cause we've been customers in this plan forever.
- Forever.
- We were on this plan before that promotional structure.
- Right, before the, yeah, exactly,
'cause this was always a good plan,
but it used to have the multiline discounts.
Now you can get one line for 25 bucks a month on Verizon.
- What did you say?
- Good deal. - Yeah, a great deal.
- That's what I thought you said.
- Next, hey, Visible.
- Visible.
We already talked about that. - Groundhog's Day.
- They deserve to be here on this list,
whether they paid us or not.
It's a great plan.
- Well, I was going to take a closer look at the coverage
and the service that they provide.
I was like, maybe I should switch this plan,
'cause I found myself using mobile hotspot
a lot more recently on the five gigabyte prepaid plan.
That runs out pretty quickly.
And the five megabits per second speed
is enough to stream YouTube videos in 1080P HD.
So, it's gonna be fast enough for whatever you need to do.
- To be clear, this is a mobile hotspot
with unlimited data. - Yeah.
- What?
Yeah, and exactly what David just said,
five megabits per second.
So, if they're giving you unlimited mobile hotspot
for as low as 25 bucks a month,
and you can stream 1080p YouTube videos
or Netflix or whatever on a different device,
that's pretty good.
- Yeah, one thing I'll say about having no retail stores
is that I've always found it most helpful
to reach out to customer support for wireless carriers
directly on social media,
whether it's Twitter or Facebook Messenger.
We just had this the other day, where I reached out to one,
one carrier.
I got a response in like five minutes.
They answered the question in 10 minutes.
I think it's because they don't want people to just,
you know, retweet a negative review.
- Next, let's talk about the T-Mobile Magenta Max plan,
kind of the Cadillac of unlimited data plans.
- You think you're such a big shot now
because you got a Cadillac?
- Let me just tell you what this plan includes.
So, unlimited 5G and 4G LTE data.
Your speeds will never be throttled on this plan,
no matter how many gigabytes of data.
You can use 200 gigabytes of high-speed data.
- Forever.
- What about mobile hotspot?
Can you do that, too?
- Well, let me get there.
40 gigabytes of high-speed mobile hotspot.
- Okay, so it's not really,
'cause I was gonna say,
if it was just unlimited speeds forever.
- Forever.
- On other devices, too,
you could just throw away your cable modem.
Can't do that.
- Yeah, only 40 gigabytes of high speed mobile hotspot,
which is gonna be more than enough for
pretty much everyone. - For most people.
But you can't, you still can't, you know,
throw away your cable modem. - Right.
- Netflix included, unlimited talk, text, and data
in Canada and Mexico, international data included.
- Yep, and we're talking T-Mobile here,
which, clearly they're the leader in 5G
- Leader in 5G.
- They're kickin' AT&T and Verizon's butts right now,
and they're not too happy about it.
- Right, now, you see a plan like this.
You probably, what's the price, you know?
There must be a catch here.
One line, $85 a month.
- Oh my god. - That's expensive,
but if you have four lines on T-Mobile with this plan,
it's $43 a line.
(record scratches)
- Wow. - That's not bad.
- It's pretty good.
- If you have a family plan
and you want a lot of data and a lot of mobile hotspot.
- Yup, Magenta Max. - Magenta Max.
- Yup, and then you can brag to your friends about it, too.
Hey, how much mobile hotspot
does your unlimited data plan have,
other dads at the soccer game?
And they're like, I don't know.
- I should say that, according to a 2020 study,
the average user only uses seven gigabytes
of high-speed data per month.
That's steadily increasing, but if you have 10 gigabytes,
you're going to be more than good enough,
which kind of segues into the next plan,
the Mint Mobile 10 gigabyte prepaid plan for $20 a month.
- What a great segue.
20 bucks a month?
Does that apply to one line, David?
- That's one line.
- Right, but you have to pay for three months up front,
right, and then if you want to keep
that promotional pricing,
you have to pay for a whole year upfront.
- Yep.
- But 20 bucks a month times 12 months is 700.
- No.
- $240.
- Yeah, so use that first three-month period
to see if Mint Mobile is the right service for you.
If you like it, renew for the full year.
- You get the rest, get a full pregnancy,
plus three months.
- Lock in that price.
- My buddy Dan just had a baby.
- Unlimited minutes, unlimited messages,
not unlimited mobile hotspot.
It's just the 10 gigabytes mobile hotspot.
- That's right, but it's more than enough for most people,
according to a study in 2020.
- According to a study in 2020.
- People use seven gigabytes of data.
- Those are the best cell phone plans out of the month.
