- In this video,
I'm covering the absolute best unlimited data plans
on the Verizon network
for both individuals and families.
And we have great options here,
from Visible, US Mobile, Xfiniti Mobile, Spectrum Mobile,
and even Verizon themselves.
Let's start off with Visible,
which has made a reputation as being one
of the best cheap unlimited data plans,
not only on the Verizon network,
but across pretty much all networks.
It comes in at just $40 per month,
all taxes and fees included.
And it includes true unlimited data.
It's also packed with features:
Visible supports, visual voicemail, voice-over LTE,
Wi-Fi calling, group and picture messaging,
mobile hotspot, 5G access, eSIM,
and even international calling to Canada,
Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
Some things to note about the service
are that hotspots speeds are capped
at five megabits per second,
and you are limited to only connecting one device at a time.
Video streaming is limited to 480p,
and the plan is deprioritized on the Verizon network.
Having a deprioritized plan just means
that anytime the Verizon network is busy,
say at a crowded stadium,
a sporting event, a concert,
or just during rush hour in the city,
your speeds will be slightly slower than people
who are paying
for a premium plan on Verizon themselves.
How much of a difference does this make?
Honestly, it really does depend,
based on location and current network conditions,
and congestion.
So my best recommendation is to try Visible out for yourself
to see if they'll work for you.
And lucky for you,
Visible is offering a promotion right now
where you can get your first three months of service
for just $20 per month.
That is honestly a phenomenal deal on the service
and the best part because it's prepaid;
you can cancel any time without worries.
But if you do like Visible
and you want to keep a discount,
one of the best perks about the service
is their Party Pay group discount.
By joining a visible party such as my party linked below,
it's called bestphoneplans,
you can pay just $25 per line.
It's honestly incredible.
Over 2,200 members have joined the bestphoneplans party.
So they are paying just $25 per line.
So if you're interested,
you can sign up for Visible.
You can join my party at the link below
and lock yourself in
to paying $25 per month on the Verizon network
for an unlimited plan.
You can see that's why it's the best, cheap,
unlimited plan on Verizon.
Now, moving on to US Mobile,
which I would call the best value unlimited plan.
US Mobile is $45 per month for unlimited data,
and it supports a decent amount of features.
You're not getting as many features as Visible,
but you are getting visual voicemail,
voice-over LTE, group and picture messaging,
5G access, domestic roaming, and international roaming.
Some notes about US Mobile is that the hotspot
is a $10 add-on
for 20 gigs of high-speed hotspot data.
So you're not gonna be capped at five megabits per second
like you were on Visible.
Video currently streams at up to 480p.
But I believe it should be coming in HD soon.
The last time we spoke with Ahmed
on the "Bestphoneplans" podcast,
I believe he said the team is working on it
and that's an issue they are aware of.
- That's more of a technical thing
that we are proactively working on removing.
US Mobile doesn't plan to cap the unlimited plans at all.
- Finally, US Mobile includes an incredible perk;
you're getting up to 10 gigabytes
of free international data
that's available via US Mobile's eSIM plans.
These are honestly super cool to see.
And getting free international data,
in my opinion, is a huge value add.
No other carrier I'm aware of is offering
a feature like this.
And finally, similar to Visible
and pretty much all prepaid plans on the Verizon network,
US Mobile is also deprioritized.
Now, despite being $5 more expensive than Visible,
I personally think US Mobile is a slightly better value
for three key reasons.
Number one: from my testing and experience,
I've had slightly faster speeds
and more importantly,
more consistent performance on US Mobile versus Visible.
The main reason for this is Visible is using new technology
and they have two of their own servers;
one in Colorado
and one in New Jersey,
that they are using
to route all of their network traffic.
So everyone on Visible is connected
to one of those two servers.
This means if you live far away from one of those locations,
you can have higher paying times
and experience greater lag,
which can contribute
to a perceived slower experience.
US Mobile, when I've done side-by-side tests,
has performed again a little bit faster
and more consistently from my usage and testing.
Number two is the beautiful online account dashboard.
US Mobile allows you
to track your usage analytics.
And if it turns out you're using less than 30 gigs
of cellular data per month,
you could actually switch
to one of US Mobile's more affordable plans.
They offer $15 for five gigs,
or you can go for their $25 18-gig plan
to save even more money per month.
But you may not want to do that
because number three,
US Mobile offers a phenomenal family discount with perks.
When you have three lines on US Mobile,
the price drops to just $25 per line.
Not only that,
US Mobile will cover up to two
of your favorite subscription services.
Options include Spotify Family, Apple Music Family,
Netflix, HBO Max, Disney Plus-Hulu-ESPN Plus, and more.
So with all those perks and features,
I feel US Mobile is the best value unlimited plan
on the Verizon network.
Now, let's move on to the best feature packed plan.
And in my opinion,
this comes from Xfiniti Mobile.
Xfinity Mobile's $45 unlimited plan not only includes
the features you'd expect,
but it also adds options
for international calling, international data roaming.
And more importantly,
this is the first plan we've seen today
that allows support
for smartwatches and tablets.
And it also has full access
to Verizon's ultra-wideband 5G network
which boasts speeds up to two gigabits per second.
Yes, technically, Visible does have access
to Verizon ultra-wideband,
but its speeds are capped at 200 megabits per second.
So, Xfinity Mobile,
it's the first plan we've seen so far
that allows full uncapped data speeds
on Verizon ultra-wideband.
And at $45 a month,
it's the cheapest plan
that allows that experience.
Xfinity Mobile also just launched a family discount,
bringing the cost of the plan down
to just $30 per line
with four lines.
And the discount gets better,
the more lines you add.
But there are some things
to know about Xfinity Mobile's plan.
Hotspot speeds are capped at 600 kilobits per second.
Video is limited to 480p on LTE phones,
and only up to 720p on 5G phones,
when connected to a 5G network.
As I mentioned, you're getting full access
to Verizon's ultra-wideband network.
But you only have 20 gigabytes
of full speed data here,
and then your data is slowed
to one and a half megabits per second down
and 750 kilobits per second up.
I know, yeah, this plan is only available
for existing Xfinity customers.
Clearly, Xfinity Mobile isn't for everyone.
But if you're an existing Xfinity customer,
I think Xfinity Mobile offers great feature support
and excellent family discount,
and they are surprisingly well known
for having good customer service.
Something I can't necessarily say about the rest of Comcast,
but again, Xfinity Mobile,
an option to consider.
Next, we have Spectrum Mobile.
And I'm calling this plan,
the best budget priority plan.
It's basically the same plan as Xfinity Mobile,
except you get five gigs
of full-speed hotspot data,
and then reduce speeds
to 600 kilobits per second.
And more importantly,
you're getting 20 gigabytes
of full priority data.
Remember how we talked about Visible, US Mobile,
and Xfiniti Mobile being deprioritized
on the Verizon network?
Well, Spectrum Mobile,
of all carriers,
is offering the cheapest plan
with true priority access.
This plan has the same speed and performance
as a plan you get from Verizon directly.
And this means if you're in a crowded area
such as at an airport, a stadium, a sports game, a concert,
or even in a city during rush hour,
then your speeds on Spectrum Mobile will be slightly faster
than everyone else's.
Again, how much of a difference does this make?
It varies from location to location,
but it is something to keep in mind.
Though you're only getting 20 gigs of priority data
before you are deprioritized
and your speeds are capped at one megabit per second down
and 512 kilobits per second up,
which are really slow.
Thankfully, not many people will use over 20 gigs,
but still something to keep in mind.
And also something weird,
when you have Spectrum Mobile,
you can access any of Spectrum's Wi-Fi hotspots for free.
But those speeds are capped
at five megabits per second down
and one megabit per second up.
Spectrum, what are you doing, my friend?
When you have Xfinity Mobile,
you can access Xfinity Mobile's Wi-Fi hotspots as well,
and those are at full speed.
So, Xfinity Mobile, better in that regard.
But either way, if you are connected to Wi-Fi,
your usage won't count against the 20 gigs
of included high-speed data.
Now, let's move on
to the best value priority plan,
which I think comes from Verizon themselves
and it's their Verizon Play More plan.
This is way more expensive;
at $80 a month for a single line,
but it is packed
with all the features you'd expect.
You have full support for everything here including eSIM
and access to Verizon's millimeter wave 5G network.
Some notes about the service are that you get 15 gigs
of hotspot data,
and then hotspot speeds are capped
at 600 kilobits per second.
You get 720p video streaming
and 4K video streaming,
when you're connected to ultra-wideband 5G.
This plan includes 50 gigabytes of priority data,
currently the most available on the Verizon network,
before you are deprioritized.
And you also get Disney Plus-Hulu-ESPN Plus,
six months of Apple Music,
and 12 months of Discovery Plus included for free
with this plan.
It's a topdog plan
and it's coming at you at a top dollar price.
But still this plan from Verizon,
I think is the best value premium plan they offer.
But if you wanted to bump it up an extra notch,
you also have Verizon's $90 Get More unlimited plan.
This is exactly the same as Play More
with two key differences;
the 15 gigs of hotspot data doubles to 30 gigs
and Apple Music is now included,
instead of being a six month free trial.
In my opinion, these plans are expensive
for single line users.
But of course, what did you expect from the top tier plans?
But if you do have a family,
then the price drops to around 45
to $55 per month,
which is a little bit more reasonable.
But still when you compare those prices
to the $25 unlimited plans,
you can get with Visible, with Party Pay, or US Mobile,
with three or more lines.
I think it's tough to compete.
