Slovakia, 300GB for 13 EUR/month, no texts and calls included. Those are 5 cents I think.
The carrier has an agreement with another one for coverage extension, but with official FUP of 20GB in that network.
This carrier however disregards that and instead allows up to 80GB, but for a few months after enabling 4G from that other carrier the FUP wasn’t applied at all.
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.
It operates on that other network like MVNO, and if your phone decides to stick there, which people report happens a lot, say hello to far lower FUP instead. The carrier’s own network is also generally far slower.
I also found a little network issue (tested with 2 phones) where receiving calls are broken in a fairly specific scenario, but I don’t know how to report that. To keep it short, if VoLTE isn’t available, when switching from 2 of the 4G bands to one of the 2G bands, the call fails to connect after several long seconds of silence on caller end, and no notification of failed call attempt is sent.
I can work around both issues by selecting specific bands as needed manually, but that generally requires root and use of app like Network Signal Guru (inconvenient).
This allows me to decide whether I want more data amount, faster network speed, better outgoing call coverage, or higher chance of receiving a call. Yeah… their network sucks.
I also believe they break the EU roam like at home regulation:
Most plans only have half the data amount it seems they should have, but maybe I just calculated that wrong.
But this plan I have has… ZERO data for EU roaming.
2 x (price of mobile bundle excluding VAT / regulated maximum wholesale cap per GB) = data limit (in GB) when roaming
Hmmm… how does that give a zero.
Unlimited texts, unlimited calls, 50GB data (music streaming is ignored), EU roaming, 5G for £10/month.
Also it’s crazy how much US and AU people are paying!
Bruh what all that for 10? I’m paying almost 6 times that amount 🤯🤯🤯
Call your mobile provider (and be prepared to jump ship to a different provider) and ask to speak to their “Retentions” department or team. Every big provider has a team whose job it is to keep customers by basically throwing sweeteners at them.
It’s crazy how many services do this if you just call up, asking to cancel. Sky or Virgin (can’t remember which as I’ve not watched broadcast TV in a few years) gave me 3 months free every time I called to cancel.

Keep in mind AUD is 0.51 GBP.
But yeah, still a lot.
Aaah, thanks for the insight.
I’ve got 30GB + calls/texts for £8/month.
Ya, US dollar is 0.79 GBP. So my $40 plan would “only” be £31. Still much more expensive for sure though.
I feel like I’m missing out on something. I’m in Canada, unlimited texts, calls, etc. 225GB for two lines, $300 something/month. I feel like you are all in on some joke that I’m missing.
Canadian phone plans are insane. I’m on Roger’s and they graciously allow me to “Roam like Home” for only 15/day in Europe… or I could buy a SIM card for five Euros that’ll last me a fucking month.
That seems really high, even for Canada.
Have you looked at any of the flanker brands, like Koodo, Fizz, Public Mobile?
USA. 4 lines with unlimited calls, text, and data. International calling and roaming throughout US, Canada & Mexico. Metered by the mjnute/megabyte for international (off-continent) travel. All in, $200 monthly.
(TMO, magenta plan which is now defunct)
I have the same, plus a watch plan, two home internets, apple tv, netflix, and i just realized that we were paying insurance on 4 phones (that i need to cancel to save$60!) for $374/mo.
3€ per month
2GB
Germanycirca 10€ for 10GB of data and unlimited calls, in Germany.
10€/month 5G “unlimited” (350GB IIRC before throttling). I think texts/SMS are unlimited and calls too but I just don’t know as I send like 10 texts per months and make two 5 minute calls.
European roaming(edit: actually it’s 110 countries) is I think 35GB 4G for free every month.
It was 20€ with a special 10€/month offer for a year, but when I asked for my RIO code to change they offered it like forever for 10€ so I stayed.
France.
Sim only. 6€, unlimited calls and sms, 6GB 4G data. Netherlands.
For 6€ you should be able to get 5g data at that rate. I’m on 5GB @5G for 5€ on Lebara.
$200 AUD, 200gb data, unlimited calls and texts. Amaysim In Australia.

So $200 per year for 200gb per month? Or 200gb per year?
Most UK phone plans are done monthly for everything.
Sorry, wasn’t clear, $200 for 200gb, 1 year expirey. Most are monthly here as well, but there are some yearly plans.
The good part of yearly plans is that I have plenty of data on the rare occasion that I’m on holiday or whatever, but with the lower average cost.
$25 in the US for unlimited talk, text, and data, from Visible, as part of a party
Sweden, cca 50eur/month. Unlimited 5G with free calls and text, 50gb within EU+ some other countries outside, free data sim (in my home modem), up to 4 extra data sim cards for 1.75eur/month.
I am lucky enough to have never had a cell phone bill to this day. I got my first real job in 2006, and before that, I lived with my parents and just used their flip phone when going out. I will say I was a little late, but for the most part nobody in my generation used cell phones except to actually get in touch with someone and that’s it. Once at my job, I was handed a phone and number to use through the company. Since I was in IT, we basically controlled the phones and didn’t care if it was used personally. I am still with the same company today, but there have been changes and got scary so now I just purchased an android phone, signed up for Google voice to give myself a free number and use wifi for everything else. When I leave the house I have the company phone turn on Hotspot and my personal connects to it, so it’s basically like having everything a provider offers without a bill.
The single issue I have is that some services do not consider Google voice number a legit line so I can’t use the number for sign-ups or mfa on like 15% of the accounts I use. Apple, and battle.net are 2 off the top of my head.
Here in the UK, I’m currently on unlimited everything, calls, messages and data, for £18 per month.
Is it actually unlimited or some slow down after x amount?
Nope. Truly unlimited and I’m allowed to tether it as well. So when I’m in hotels away at work, it’s my source of internet for my tablet and laptop.
That is not bad. Who are you with? I’ve got 130gb data, unlimited calls and texts for £13/ month with EE SIM only.
It’s a two year old SIM only deal with Three. I’ve been with then for several years now and this contract expires in three weeks.
According to the app, I can upgrade to their Black Friday offer of the same conditions (unlimited everything) for just £22 a month! 😆
My contract will probably just keep rolling unchanged month to month but I wouldn’t be surprised if Three try and get me to commit to something.
I’ve been with Mint Mobile USA
for 7 years now.Same $15/month, for a Prepaid 12 months plan for ~$180/year
Used to be 2GB of 4G now it’s 5GB of 5G.
Technically unlimited throttled slow data, good enough for maps/email after.
If anyone uses my link it should be +$15 referral credit bonus.
Can upgrade at anytime in a cycle, but can’t downgrade, or also extra data buckets available.
End shilling
Also Ryan mails me an Xmas card every year ❤️.
They sent me a silly email today actually but hey…whatevs.
Copper is the traditional 7th-anniversary gift. Which makes sense considering 7 years ago you embarked on this wireless journey with us, saving tons of lucky pennies along the way. If you want to take a scroll down memory lane, we’ve compiled this year’s stats in your 7th Year in Review below. Keep being the awesome human you are, and we’ll keep things running in Mint-condition.
We’re lucky to have you,

We just switched to that same plan from an Xfinity Family Plan we were on with my sister and her family. Been happy so far.
American, AT&T Prepaid 2gb data, think unlimited texting/calling, $30 a month. Mostly 4g lte, but I also can get 5g e.
I am grandfathered into a Verizon (USA) plan from the time the FCC disallowed caps in exchange for 700MHz spectrum. I used 365GB of data in the first week of this month.
