Sorry, but your videos never tell the whole story. There are discounts that should be covered too (Military, First Responders, etc...)
What about for people who don't need new phone? I just want 5-line plan with 25GB or 30GB data per month
My family and I switched from AT&T to US Mobile Unlimited Basic and saved a LOT of money in the process. We're never looking back.
I love to hear it, Slade! I’m glad you guys are saving money and are happy with your service :)
Been watching for a while. And all I can say is the effort you put I to these videos is amazing! This kind of content helps those who really need to save, want to save, or just don't use there phones enough to justify the need for more "frills". As someone who has a grandfathered education plan, most plans still don't make sense to change you. But when it's time, I'll definitely be on the look for your videos.
Thank you, Albert! I certainly appreciate it :)
Thank goodness. I was thinking of sending out a search party for you. Glad to see you're still going strong. I've been looking forward to this video very much.
Hahaha, thank you, Makaeo 😂 Yes, this video to a long time to make and piece together! Tons of time spent analyzing plans and thinking about the best way to present the information. I hope you found the video helpful, and I hope to post more frequently 🙂
Great great great great video! Thank you so much! So insightful 🙌🏽🔥
What a great topic and presentation. Subscribed!
great comparison. well done and really helped break everything down for 5 lines. thanks for saving me a few hours of work!
It's amazing to me how closely priced all the carriers are. Even Verizon's most expensive plans are within $10 from their competition. That's awesome, considering how much more expensive VZ used to be compared to other carriers years ago. Very impressive!
Yea that’s why I switched back to Verizon, it was only 20$ more then t mobile so it was worth it
@@happyplanet6711 I completely agree.
Great video Stetson
Excellent video, love your graphs and all the research it takes to make these! My family is on ATT Unlimited Starter with 5 lines and can confirm, truly one of the best deals around for what you get. With the autopay it's $30 + the various fees, so it does equal to about that in your graph.
I’m curious if you get slowed down any with the starter plan? I see it doesn’t get any premium data.
Awesome content!
Thanks for all your hard work! This helped me decide on best plan for my family.
Thanks for the info
Is there a possibility you can make a video testing out Visible + on IPhone 14 ? I’ve been conflicted on which plan is best on eSim 😅😅
Stellar video. I like the comparison of the “true cost“ of each plan. Last year when I was comparison-shopping, I noticed that 5 lines of the AT&T Unlimited Elite plan (factoring in the signature discount) was slightly less expensive than the Cricket More plan, once you take into account the device cost and trade-in credit.
AT&T unlimited starter is definitely a good deal for multiple lines. Just be sure to watch your bill EVERY MONTH and make sure that you get your discounts… And keep getting them!
I love your help. How do you feel about certified iPhones from Verizon or refurbished iPhones directly from Apple?
Prepaid still a better value when you don't opt for a high end phone.
This is likely true!
Yes that's true
Agreed some people don’t really need the flagship phones. It’s a want
Even with a flagship phone it can still be a good value. The freedom to move around if service becomes an issue can be incredibly valuable in itself.
And Google Fi had the S23 lineup for basically half off.
@@Edgar...did you get the google fi deal? I was about to but couldn't justify the upgrade from the s22U.
This video is just amazing, congratulations for a amazing analysis and data
Thank you, Roberto. I put a ton of effort into this.
Stetson, what about US Mobile's pooled plans?
Even if you made 3-5 5GB individual pools so people don't use more than their share, the lines are 19.49 each (only $0.49 tax per line unlike their other plans). $9 + $2*5. Pools are great for flexibility too, we share 3 GB for our pool and add 1GB/$2 as needed mid month. If it's one pool, then sharing data is even more helpful.
Also, interested in Google Fi's basic unlimited plan. Pretty good with a lot of people on the group and they seem to have good deals on Samsung phones nearly every year. (But their support is the worst of any MVNO I've ever used, which isn't as many as you but still a lot).
Great video as always! Also interested in how variables like Netflix or other perks impact the bottom line. So many variables! :-)
Plenty of others out there you can do a review on, Spectrum!Us cellular!Google Fi!
Thanks. Could you do one for someone that needs native international roaming? It's important to have access to the US number all the time for calls and texts. Even paying say a one time pass for $50 for a month of high speed roaming is fine. Currently have family plan on T-Mobile postpaid but wanted to see if there are better options. We typically buy our phones outright and don't want to FAFO with trade ins.
At least 30 GB of priority data and deprioritized unlimited afterwards is okay.
Are the prices you provide us based on TRADE-IN CREDIT only? I don't have a good cellphone to trade to get a credit.
Hate to be the one but a lot of these plans max at 6 lines could you eventually do that lol. Thanks for this great video and all your work
Thank you
I have T-Mobile and it's the regular magenta and we have seven lines and we are paying $180 a month.... That's like $25 a month... I think what you're not showing is that T-Mobile gives you discounts if you do auto pay and I'm pretty sure the other companies do too... Because I'm getting $86 in discounts... But yeah 180+$50 for home Internet but I pay that separate
Nice video. I would that for me sometimes I call customer service and "negotiate" certain deals. What I find is that if you push a bit they will an old promo or trick to enable a current promo you want. I did this twice with tmob. I got a magenta max discount without having to upgrade my entire 9 lines to Max. Plus you can use the rules to your favor. Like adding a line for a promo discount and then dropping another line 3 months later & not affecting the promo.
That is cool
Is it possible that you can do a version for Internet Service Providers ?
Can you explain the AT&T prepaid $300 5g?
I still think the paper toss video was your best video.
I think you missed the part where Tmobile required a new line for the phone discount. One cannot add a new line every 2 years to get free phone, that does not make sense. can you adjust the pricing to reflect this? Also trade in value is not free money and cannot be simply deducted as free cash. You need to adjust for that also.
Can we get an updated video with the new plans from Verizon and T Mobile?
I'm paying for visible + and two regular visible base lines for 85$ a month no complaints. Visible is great
good video overall but I am curious y the visible $45 plan was not included anywhere? it includes taxes and fees and is only $45/line and has 50gb premium data. also another thing to add is digital perks can save people for example US Mobile lets you pick a service or 2 depending on how many lines like HBO Max or Apple Music, and Verizon does the same and t-mobile.
Also visible is 35$ now if you sign up before the 31st
What about data-only plans for Tablets? Best way to go?
What’s the best bet for a Single Line? I’m with Verizon but debating AT&T for one line. Plz do a video about Single Lines?
Check out my video on the best cell phone plans for single-line users in 2023 - ua-cam.com/video/km0lRDOTWMg/v-deo.html
You should have seperated the phone cost column. Everyone is not buying a new phone. Would love to have seen a comparison with plan cost and fees but you grouped the fees in with phone cost.
You've cracked the code!
News is going out that mint mobile is planning to add premium data to it's plans not sure when but premium data is about to get added to all or most mint plans
Right now Verizon has a welcome plan for $20 per line for the first 3 years then it goes up to $25 per line after the 3 year period. How would Verizon unlimited welcome cost at that price compared with the other plans? It's tricky with the added taxes and fees.
The thing with going with small carriers that people need to be aware of is dropped coverage, and it happens a lot. As an example, if you have service with Metro you're using T-Mobile's network. If that network is getting congested and bandwidth needs to be freed up to keep the data flowing, who is getting their connection dropped? If you guested you on Metro as opposed to the T-Mobile customer, you would be correct. All the major carriers do it the same way, which is fair since their primary customers using their networks are paying more in general.
Totally agree here. I use Optimum Mobile that uses T-Mobile. More than once….I have been dropped and sometimes get extremely slow speeds. My T-Mobile friends keep on going.
@@natet7323 optimum is T-Mobile? I have optimum now and it's kinda trash
U forgot to mention that right now for visible , it’s 25 for the basic plan and 35 for visible plus.
Cricket with 4 lines is $108 per month. Taxes and fees included.
Walmart family plan 50 dollars unlimited everything and 30g hotspot add up to 5 phones for 10 each so 6 phones for 100 bucks
Whats the cheapest you know of? I don't need fast data. I won't even make calls. I need 3-4 lines to play video games, but I need a confirmation code from working phone numbers to verify my accounts.
Stetson I think you had a typo. 4 lines of US Mobile's unlimited basic is $20 per line, not $25.
Hey can you do a video on dish hotspot offering. Project Genesis with 20 dollar unlimited hotspot. Only using 5g. They have phone option for 30dollars. No throttling or restriction
Hello! Could there be a video about the best plans for 2 people? I finally got enough money and going to be trying out phone plans since I'm gonna be switching. It's gonna be me and someone else (family member)
The best plans for two people are the same as the best plans for single-line users. Check those out here: ua-cam.com/video/km0lRDOTWMg/v-deo.html
Question - why is Google Fi not included in any of these videos?
What about Google Fi simply unlimited?
Stetson amazing production quality. Great info. Just a poor time to mention anything boost relating as their services are still not up. Boost infinite app still down.
I know 😢 I hope Boost is able to get their service back up and running soon.
I dont really understand how tmobile essentials always looks so expensive when our family only pays about $30 per line for 4 people. Is this calculation only taking into consideration people who only trade-in?
Just so people know Att doesn't have deprioritized data in Chicago IL all plans have premium data just so you guys know this about Att
You’ve tested in areas of congestion and get similar results with starter versus elite (premium)?
I got Verizon for 5 line for 32,32 Do more with my own device and auto payments so it’s probably better but service still not good around same as cricket I use before 😅
On Google Fi you can get 4 lines for $80. That's not bad.
Do Verizon AT&T and t mobile offer tourist plans I am gonna be visiting from Pakistan next month
Because of your videos I’ve switch to T-Mobile for my family and now we are getting new iPhone 14’s… any plans on a at home internet provider comparison?
TMobile has been hacked so many times. Good luck keeping your data secure.
Looks like T-Mobile home internet has a deal with a prepaid card and maybe a discount if you have existing cell plan
One thing that frustrates me, is that almost all the unlimited plans cap streaming at 480p. And unfortunately, I end up using my phone a lot. So I actually do end up burning in the neighborhood of 40 gigs per month.
What's about tello phone service
Yes, BUT, My Mint phone next to my T-Mo phone, both using T-Mo towers, the T-Mo phone data speeds are so much faster. Mint struggles unless it is on WIFI.
The prices are so close that I just chose what I always liked. Verizon.
Xfinity Mobile should have definitely made this list. They have the cheapest 5 line plan I have seen.
Question? Did you comparisons included discounts like AutoPay?
I don't think it does because I'm paying $180 for seven lines... For T-Mobile... So all seven of us paying $25 a month each...
Just curious as to why you don't include xfinity mobile in your comparisons? Is it a just regional provider? (I know that it's a MVNO) Just curious.
Maybe because you have to have Xfinity Internet?
@Charles G you do not need xfinity Internet. It's just cheaper if you do
Iv been with t mobile for like 10 years I been missing out on free phone every 2-3 years?
These things change so fast... Visible is already at $25/month for their basic plan!
Visible is a huge deal right now, 10$ off each plan per month, who knows how long but still.
this doesnt include the device protection plan...for tmobile each line you have to pay 18 a month for device insurance which is crazy
I do wonder how Visible fits into the list due to them not actually providing family plans?
also should add on that families should also take into account where they live and the coverage carriers have around those areas. Where I live, Verizon has the best coverage, and some people may have different
get more is 10 bucks more involving the taxes and fees than play/do more
but Big deal
if people want a good deal on these perks
they will take any one of those three plans
You need to more clearly define how you are calculating trade-in values for a better total cost per line. How often are you getting those trade-in credits? (It is not the same for all carriers.) Also as some others have pointed out, the discounts require adding a new line which is not practical. I believe there are a decent amount of people that get second-hand phones so more clearly defining your assumptions on the average money spent on new[-ish] phones per line would go a long way in clarifying your comparisons. A consumer who typically buys a $200 phone every four years is not getting the same value out of a $800 trade-in credit every couple of years (though they would probably be getting a better phone more often with that much credit).
I do realize you list a device cost per month and perhaps this is what we need to rely on to pull device cost back out of your numbers.
Did you know that the Motorola Edge Plus 2022 is not 5G. Blew my mind when it's labeled as 5G on the box. Even Best Buy has it labeled as 5G with all major carriers.
Can you clarify? Like not 5G at all or just not mmWave? I could see it having some 5G capability but not all the most advanced 5G. If that's the case, it's technically not wrong and common for several phones like Pixel 4a 5G and many others in 2021/2022. If it's truly 4G LTE only, then yeah that's bad.
@@NateBraska It is bad. They can't even get LTE to work on it. It's just 4G. I'm paying for their top 5G plan. And made sure that I'm in a 5G/4G LTE area. I'm guessing it's a defective phone because I bought it brand new from Best Buy.
@@randomtube8226 interesting. Have any other sim cards/service to test? Which carrier? T-Mobile has a trial recently, no credit card required. Could be interesting to compare if you aren't already on that service. What's Moto support say?
I am just curious. You don't mention Consumer Cellular. Is there something wrong with them?
I think Consumer Cellular is over priced. That's why I don't recommend them.
@@StetsonDoggett I have had them for 2-1/2 yrs, we pay $95 a month for three lines with a 15g total. I have only called them 3 times to get new phones setup and their customer service has been pretty good. Is that too much $$ ?
@@StetsonDoggettwalmart family plan 50 dollars unlimited everything 30g hotspot. each phone you add is 10 dollars I think you can add 5
Does t mobile still offer $5 off per line with autopay?
Yes . I got a family plan of 7 for $180 after auto pay
@@hacatan24 oh wow
Is visible activation good now?
Worked fine for me on iPhone 14 pro
Works fine on esim for Android
How come you never talk about StraghtTalk?
Where is Google Fi?
it will be good to more realistic.. most of us are using our home internets so the GB data is irrelevant here .
Please compare family plan with prices without phone and 10g and 20GB of Data and forget all others stuff.
Best 2-line family plans next!
Why not the US Mobile Unlimited premium plan? They pay for 2 of your streaming services if you have at least 4 lines.
US Mobile’s Unlimited Premium Plan is a great plan. However, if you factor in the phone discounts from Verizon, then Verizon’s 5G Play More & 5G Do More plans become cheaper. If you prefer purchasing your devices outright, then US Mobile is still great. But if you are okay financing, I think Verizon becomes the better deal.
That’s what it is! I prefer to buy outright. I don’t like being locked in to a company for 24-36 months.
For 8 Unlimited Lines on Cricket - $34.38 per line in 2024.
How about if you only need two lines
There are no real savings or benefits with two lines. The best option is to get single-line plans for each person that meet their specific needs. You can see the best plans for single line users here - ua-cam.com/video/km0lRDOTWMg/v-deo.html
Good evening i have another company for you to look at.
Bro what about families of 6 😭😭😭
I need one line service
Check out my video on the best cell phone plans for one line - ua-cam.com/video/km0lRDOTWMg/v-deo.html
@@StetsonDoggett thank you for answering and I went with T-Mobile
With a name like Stetson Dogget, I have to wonder if your parents are big western fans.
i have 13 lines lol
All these are too expensive
But i need 6 lines xDDD😢
Visible is so bad now they ruined a good thing higher prices less coverage and constant dropping
Verizon had an outage for the past two days
“Get a free phone every two years” - you seem to be ignoring “and new line” and “add a qualifying line”. Existing customers can’t just add a new line over and over.
It turns out that the deals around the holiday season typically apply to existing customers as well, with no new line requirement! So you can upgrade an existing line, trade in your old device, and get the credit. Unfortunately I didn’t have a screenshot on hand to represent that, but this has happened for the past 3 years.
Please gift me i phone I am big fan of you please gift me i phone 📱
Are the prices you provide us based on TRADE-IN CREDIT only? I don't have a good cellphone to trade to get a credit.
