do niggas really be paying $170/m for their cell phone data plan?
my dad pays 4k yearly on t-mobile
>>106800372this is what i have
Those are rates for 3 phones. I pay around $60/month after taxes for one.
I pay $30AUD (~$20USD) for 25GB a month. It also rolls up any unused data and I can switch to a cheaper plan without losing any rolled up data. I used to be on a 40GB for $35/month before I switched down.
>>106800372In Ireland, you can pay €13 per month for unlimited 5G data, 5000 minutes and 5000 SMS. No contract. Downside is that roaming outside EU/UK kinda sucks. You get 17GB data (with every additional 1GB being €3) so I just use eSIMs whenver I travel.
>hotspot traffic is somehow different from other datawhat absolute faggotry, you can dodge this by modifying TTL right?
I pay 27 CHF for unlimited data in Switzerland, UE, US and Canada. Calls are free only in CH, but that's not really an issue when I'm abroad.
>>1068003723 phonelinesglobal coveragesat coverageavg ~$56/line
I pay $1.5 every 2 months
I pay $6 per 30GB pack and spend it in 2-3 months.Voice and SMS are also in bulk packs.No fixed monthly fees, no expiration time.Up to 2 devices with the same number (phone + tablet or phone + watch etc)
I have 9 lines for 225 on tmobile 8 lines unlimited
>>106800517farming boomers for free money should not be allowed anymore
>>106801373i keep telling him to change fucking carrier and plan and all he says is "be grateful"
>>106800372Depends on the region, T-Mobile Poland charges me like $15/month for unlimited data, calls and text.
If you have 4 or more lines, Tmobile/Verizon family plans are the best deals for what you get.If its just one or two lines, Visible / US Mobile / Mint mobile are perfectly fine and will all use Verizon / Tmobile Data with like 10 - 25 GB full speed non-deprioritized data for like $30 per line per month.With the major carriers, you are paying for the brick and mortar stores that are everywhere, and paying for subsidized overly generous phone upgrade / installment plans. With cheaper MVNOs, you are unlikely to get more than $250-$300 for a trade-in to "upgrade", but with the major carriers they will offer crazy shit like $1100 for a 4 year old iPhone when upgrading to the new one. They are able to do that because they are charging you 3x more than what an MVNO would per month for a plan.You will also get MUCH better roaming / uninterrupted service when traveling since the major carriers negotiate tower sharing with seamless roaming you don't even notice or explicitly "pay for" - you do not get this with MVNOs, and it might be a nothingburger for you, or you might find out that its a dealbreaker.If its just for you, you can find unlimited talk/text/10 GB Data per month for like $15 per month if you pay a year upfront.
>>106800776not 2013 anymore - its basically impossible to "spoof" hotspot/tethering data to make it appear like on-device traffic now. All US carriers can absolutely tell when its being attempted, and depending on what methods you use - it might seem to work at first - but you bet your ass they will be charging you for it/giving you a talking to if you get audited by an asshole or you are using like 100 GB+ data in a month.
>>106801481how would they distinguish native and tethered traffic if both are routed through a proxy server + vpn client running on the phone?
>>106800372No, I'm on Mint Mobile 15GB now and it's $25/month equivalent, but I have to pay annually to keep it that low otherwise it's the equivalent of $35/mo paid every 3 months.That number would increase by $10 if I wanted unlimited data, but I don't really need it.MVNOs are definitely the way to go if you're paying for only 1-2 lines, but if you're paying for a family it's better to go with the big names
I pay 10 euros for unlimited usage, speed is capped at 100mbps (on 4g I get 30 mbps during the day, around 80 at night, there is no 5g indoor coverage but outside it's constant 90 mbps day or night)This is enough desu I am not a heavy user last months I used around a tb of data
I pay £7 for I don't know, 2GB?I have never once hit the cap, or even come close. If they offered 100MB for £6 I would take it.My wife pays £5.What the fuck are you people doing on your phones?
>>106800747>All that built up dataSeems like a sign that you could move down to a cheaper plan with less data with no ill effects.Save yourself a bit of money for something nice.
>>106800372I pay about one third of that for one phone line. Eventually I'll look around for something better. T-Mobile's voice service in my area sucks because of a hill blocking the cell tower and my phone isn't compatible with their VoIP because Sony didn't pay them extra cash to whitelist it.
>>106801971That was the plan, but I've just checked they removed the plan below mine.
>>106800372I have Mint Mobile 15gb of data for 15 a month. I dont get why the fuck anyone pays more, unless you NEED unlimited data, in which case Mint is 40 a month.
>>106802401That seems to be the way things are going. Make the old high tier the new low tier, so everyone's paying more, but the provider doesn't actually have to provide anything better because people never hit the limits anyway.You see it with internet speeds from ISPs all the time where people are paying for speeds they couldn't max out if they tried. People can only ever justify their 10G connections with "I need to download my steam games in 1 minute rather than 4 minutes, it's very important" but that's just because they've eaten the marketing.
Disgusting. I literally pay 3 bucks a month unlimited but i got a crazy deal though
>>106801395fucking kek
Lmao.I pay 2.5$/month for my phone.
tyrone gets his fuil unlimited plan free with his obamaphone meanwhile everyone else's bill looks like op's
I use US Mobile, only pay $6 for my spam number with only voice and texts for websites that require texts, and $30 for my data line on tmobile with usmobile.
>>106801481>its basically impossible to "spoof" hotspot/tethering data to make it appear like on-device traffic now. n=1 but last year i didn't pay for internet at all. i had t-mobile. i used pairvpn on both devices. i think i did something like changing the TTL on my PC, and i think that was all i did. i'd get the "hey we're gonna slow you down because you're near 100 GB of usage!" every month, but i never noticed anything. i only had 15 GB of hotspot data and i'd monitor that to see if i had everything set up right. i did this from mid 2023 to the end of 2024.so yeah you can definitely do it still.
Google Fi had a deal for 50% off so I snagged that and pay like $18.50 for 30 GB unlimited not that I use my phone for anything so sorta expensive honestly.
>>106800372America mobile carriers are trashEven the MVNOs are scamming us blind
what i hate is this shit. how do i get around it throttling my youtube/netflix?
>>106800372I pay the equivalent of 14 usd for 6GB of data which I rarely end up using entirely
>>106800517>>106800372LMAO I pay $10 a month for roaming starlink. $140 for shitty terrestrial radio service on a locked down cell phone is retarded.
I found some jeet mvno startup for $200/2 years 10GB a month but it's been 1.5 years and I'm sweating because I doubt I can find anything this good. $8.30 a month sounds about what internet should cost desu.
>>106800619> data only planhow do you not have a phone number?????
>>106800873First person ITT that can read.
>>106800619>100 mb per monthCan you even read emails with that little allowance?
>170/month>netflix with adsWHAT THE FUCK
Starlink has $5/m unlimited 3G internet. Just plug in your Starlink mini on top of your car and you dont need to pay for anything. Just use Google Voice over the internet.
>>106803319At&t has an option in the account website you can turn off that video cap.
>>106803319I've seen several carrier claim that they limit video quality on certain plans or after a certain amount of usage. As far as I can tell it's complete nonsense. I've never seen them actually do it, and I have no idea how they possibly could. Are they going to MITM your TLS connection to the video host and reverse engineer the quality negotiation on the fly to modify your video request to ask for less quality? Are they somehow decrypting the video and transcoding it to lower quality themselves? None of it makes sense.
>>106803902i would imagine they inspect the packet and if it's going to youtube or netflix or hulu it gets throttled. i'm on t-mobile and on data, i can watch 720p youtube but not 1440p. but my speed tests are plenty fast.
>>106800372i thought that every land of the free'r was making 100k a year. u should be able to pay for phoneplan with that much monis. what gives? are u sending it all to shitrael?
>>106800372>$90 for 60GBAHAHAHAHAHA
>>106800372Those roaming offers are actually pretty decent tbist of desusIf I travelled a lot it'd be ok I guess
>>106804863international carriers have much better deals if you travel$90 would get you 8 Gbit/s fibre in europe
>>106800372i have never paid more than 5€ for a phone plan. if you dont stream video, like a sane person, its quite hard to use over 1-2 gb.
I'm pretty sure my plan lost money on me trying to get market share. I pay 6 dollar a month for 2 years, got a Samsung smartphone for free with it and it has 5G 16gb a month with calls and SMS included.I found it on coincidence as I just wanted to buy a phone outright and looked for the cheapest month plan.Typing this out on the phone as we speak
>>106805166Have you seen how people use smartphones? It's just scrolling short form videos constantly. Wouldn't surprise me if the average Stacy uses 10gb per hour of phone use
>>106803867>>106803340Probably has a phone number and looks like he gets a phone with it too; other SIM providers in the UK can provide unlimited data, texts and calls for a similar price.
>>106803319Use VPN
>>106800372going outside your home is expensive
I pay 8 euros for 200gigs and i already think it could be 300 at the same price
>>106805304why don't they use wifi tho? seems retarded
>>106800619Unlimited for 10 eurobux because no carrier owns the net, they're all just renting space and competing.
>>106800747>$30 AUDJews at Aldi just put up theirs to $24 a month. I guess BOOST is next ($25 a month for yearly) to go to $30.I'm considering moving to Aldi pay as you go ($5 a year) and then calling or texing everyone on Signal. $40 a month unlimited 4G data on Felix Mobile and replace my shitty NBN.
>>106805658I was with Auss Broadband who do have a $25/month plan but I got a OP Nord 4 and it only works on Telstra because of Optus' stupid IMEI whitelist bullshit
>>106805658Aldi has a $95 yearly data plan for 30GB. Plenty for my needs.
I pay 30$ a month for mint mobile's unlimited plan. After 40gbs are used up it down grades to 10mbs which is still usable. They also give you 10gb of hotspot data which is nice. I could honestly use this to save money from my internet plan.
>>106800372I pay exactly $8
I only pay 3 EUR a month, what is wrong with all of you.
I buy data that has no expiry. I don't watch videos and shit on my phone when I'm on mobile data.
