very good videos. I believe that Visible is the cheapest and the best carrier that offers unlimited hotspot. however I still only can connect to a device at a time. don’t know why! maybe my plan is the $25/mo? should I upgrade to the plus plan?
u sign up waste of money should of got t-mobile is better those company make u pay full price on the phones an t-mobile phones u can pay monthly on them to t-mobile don’t make u pay full price on any of the products at all to
@@cassandranelson3512 we will disagree on this. I had T-Mobile for a decade and worked for Verizon for a decade. Those companies don’t care about their customers. And I’m in the opinion that carrier trade in deals are a scam. With US Mobile, I get tmobiles network for $37.50/m with none of the drawbacks for actually being on T-Mobile
What carriers allow Wi-Fi calling was left out. Unless they all do, and I’m just supposed to assume they all do. Important when I’m out of the country, and I don’t want to purchase any minutes.
@@sagew7377exactly how was Mint mobile left out? Very similar perks/pricing (Tmobile towers) as these plus they offer buy 3 months GET THREE MONTHS FREE! $90 credit per referral. It blows all of these out of the water besides Visible
I always finance my phone directly with Apple. When you go that route the phone is unlocked and you can switch carriers whenever you want without having to pay it off first.
I hate payment plans so I just wait a year and buy the new phone at a reduced price on Amazon. I’ve never recieved a malfunctioning phone and I always get good prices!
This video should have millions of views. He literally went above and beyond, even shows you how to transfer. Wow. Thank you Stetson. I look forward to your videos every year. You’re the best!
Just wait....Tmobile will raise the prices. Lol. Love mint but I don't like using wifi and Mint mobiles 40GB limit is a bit too low for me. 100GB on US mobile is awesome. Only 37.50 a month if you do yearly.
Visible plus sounds great if you had a single line. Us mobile is probably the best overall for 3 plus lines but we have tmobile 6 lines for 160 a month with netflix, etc on magenta. Until that changes i cant move on from that but if i was going to.. would try us mobile hands down. Thanks for the updated info as always!
@@StetsonDoggetthi! If we have 3 lines for $140 and Home internet for $30 from TMobile should I switch to Visible 3lines for $75 and Home Internet from Verizon for $35? What do you think? We only use for talk&text and data.
This video is simply amazing. So much valuable information here. After watching this and using a trial, after 17 years with the same carrier and a grandfathered plan I switched to Visible+. Just made sense for me, I get full coverage bars of 5G UW where I live. LTE coverage is perfect as well at full bars. I'm saving to much money with this. Thank you for the work you've done on this video, it is much appreciated.
19:29 another reason to go with a major carrier is if you are a senior. We have been paying $70 with Tmobile for two lines with unlimited everything and international coverage. I have heard that that will be going to $40 per line soon.😢
Excellent video and content. 9 year Verizon customer. Something to take note of are the perks (my plan includes Disney, Hulu, apple music) and discounts (employer, auto-pay etc.) on your plan and factor those amounts in when comparing a new plan to best determine value.
the discounts may not be available to everyone. I would imagine that is why they wouldn't be included. same with plan perks, they seem to change daily. that is why this is a guide, and enables you to see what is currently being offered by the big 3.
You definitely overlooked a few carriers. Cricket wireless should be recommended. I would recommend Cricket wireless unlimited more over ATT starter plan.
Agree, have noticed Cricket frequently gets overlooked in Stetson's videos; it's really hard to beat the Cricket Unlimited+ plan with truly unlimited priority data. Admittedly, I prefer buying my iPhones outright and not be on what is essentially a 36 month contract with one of the major carriers (free phone is just a contract by another name).
@@GCMac87 Their plan isn't as good as it looks when you read the fine print. Their unlimited priority data is only compared to their other plans, so you would be prioritized above other cricket customers but below even the cheapest plans on proper at&t.
@@MegaLokopo incorrect, Cricket Unlimited+ is QCI 8, same as AT&T Premium/Elite is now (since they were quietly downgraded from QCI 7). Please feel free to point out this “fine print” you’re referencing.
@@GCMac87 That is the old way AT&T labeled their plan priorities. They now have all of the MVNO's plans always below the lowest level of their own plans in terms of priorities. As I said before the fine print is on their website. You are welcome to prove me wrong by providing a link to whatever fine print you think you saw. When you can't find or provide it we will both know I am correct.
i know right cricket is the only provider i have found to give unlimited everything but coverage is poor in my area or at&t and tmobile so i switched to us mobile starter which i think is just as good as cricket
Cricket is underrated. I use a ton of data and never been throttled. 4 lines unlimited for 100$. Traveled across the country and cricket was wayyy more reliable than visible.
Because it does not have the same coverage as ATT and by far the worst customer service. Att works great in my area, meanwhile cricket dropped calls and data was slow or just not at all.
Just watched it again . It is excellent in the How ,When, Where, How of its subject matter. This is the best finedut (financial, educational, and entertainment) I have seen all year. Kudos
Because of your videos, I switched to us Mobile from Verizon. I also got my fiancee on it. It went from $40 for mine and $25 for hers to $33 for both of us. 12 gb shared. So much money saved, especially since we buy cheaper unlocked phones. Thank you so much!
Even though I'm grandfathered in with a T-Mobile Magenta Military with 5 lines for $110 per month, I see the value in this video and the effort that went into creating it. Note that T-Mobile does have hidden plans that give some of these in the video a run for their money. Thanks!
i had the $50/m 100gb red pocket mobile for almost 3 years on the att network... i switch to us mobile 100gb for $50/m on the t mobile network, and i most say us mobile is better in all aspect. great coverage in Miami fl .720p streaming is huge. great upload, thanks
We loved the previous video interview with US Mobile CEO. Please schedule an update interview with these guys. Exciting to see them grow and their hard work paying off with rapidly expanding customer base! Amazing customer service too.
I went with US Mobile because of a previous recommendation from another video and have been very happy with it and have signed my sister and her 2 boys on to US Mobile and saved her more than half on her monthly bill.
For two lines, it turns out it is typically best to put each line on its own plan suited for that line’s needs! Otherwise I’m a big fan of US Mobile’s 12GB shared data plan. $33/mo for 2 lines. Depends on what your data needs are though!
Hey thanks for all your hard work man, for real. Very informative at a time I've actually been trying to decide who to go with now that my phone is paid off.
Thank you! Verizon has screwed my wife with our family plan, and the Visible + yearly billing plan is half the cost + smart watch compared to full Verizon. My wife and I are now canceling paid phones on Verizon and moving the paid phones to low cost plans of this video.
Just subscribed, your videos are so well made and everything is explained really clearly! Using your videos, your website and your spreadsheet I've decided that we will likely be switching from Visible to US Mobile for a handful of reasons. Thank you!!
As always sir, you have always had the most up to date and helpful, useful, detailed info on how to find the best mobile service for our needs. We have a combination of Visible and US Mobile and could not be more satisfied!
There’s only one bad thing about US mobile everyone should know. They have an issue going on with their services. People have been complaining about their data completely turned off randomly even though it shouldn’t be happening and I’m a victim of it as well. It happens every week and it’s getting annoying to the point I’m considering switching. I have one option left so if it doesn’t work I’m switching. It doesn’t happen with every phone, but just a heads up to be cautious because it might happen to you.
@@ambitiousbeauty1013 I switched to US Mobile and have never had this happen to me. It is likely a device issue. I have an iPhone by the way and have had great service! ☺️
I want to transfer my existing landline to a cellphone. I want a plan that lets me buy my own cellphone and pay for a service plan annually when service is activated. I want no monthly phone bill for smartphone. I want to own it outright from day one, so I already purchased a new phone from best buy {unlocked). How do I proceed, once phone is in my possession?.
We have both Visible plans. I use the hotspot data the most so Visible+ is what I use. She has the Visible base plan for all that talking and playing phone games.
Ima be honest I love the fact that you can view dish and uscellular on the coverage map app and this video is very helpful for people looking at getting the best cell phone plan
You helped me save over $150 a month. The only service that works where I am is Verizon. Just switched two phones and two Apple Watches. Now investigating using hotspot for my iPads. Nightmare switching but worth it. Thank you. ❤
U.S. Mobile is looking even better now that it is adding the AT&T network next month. With the teleportal feature , which allows you to switch between the 3 networks makes this even more awesome
Just curious looked through all your content and notice you have no videos like ever mentioning consumer cellular!? they have some good offerings, thinking of getting the new Razr 2024 soon through them if boost doesn't get it soon, but ya I'm surprised you have no content on consumer cellular, They have cheaper plans then cricket and others too!
Would love a video covering only AT&T and other carriers that work on AT&t as that is the only option i have. I AM currently Straight Talk but if i need a new phone or mew sim it doesn't sound like they will let me keep the GSM sim option.
I’ve watched the video but if anyone sees this I would like some help! Which is the best carrier for a person like myself that will wanting to have unlimited; is it the visible+ like he recommended in the video by Verizon? As currently I am on T-Mobile with my mother but I plan on switching to a new phone. T mobile has a deal for me a military personnel at $65 for ONE line with 5G unlimited I believe. I am also upgrading to a new iPhone 16 soon as this is why I am in the comments asking for any help!😂 In conclusion which plan would be best for a single person wanting unlimited data etc
Your prior iteration of this was quite informative, as well. As a current US Mobile customer (dropped Verizon cause of your info), I hope you'll take another dive into their services again once "Project Deathstar" gets unleashed officially in about a month, please, cause I'm interested to hear your take on it.
I’m ditching t mobile since after I go over my data limit, on the unlimited plan, deprioritize means no service in many places. Glad I found this video
This is so helpful, thank you! We have 6 lines and are thinking about switching from Tmobile to at&t for the upgraded phone options. We use a decent amount of data, do you think we will notice a huge slowdown with at&t data compared to tmobile?
I just swapped from t-mobile to visible, t-mobile just bumped my bill up by 20$ making it unjustifiable to me. Also got my fiancée on paying 100$ for two lines and two new phones. Also another benefit is we spend quite a bit of time each year at the lake and hunting we have no service at the mountain we go to for hunts and lake we fish at but with Verizon’s network we do in quite a few spots
Don’t do it! Let’s say your bill is $160 for 4 lines $35 per line activation fee $10 per line for auto pay, because discount doesn’t come until 3rd month. Pro ration 30-60 days, so your bill is double first month, Trade in credits don’t hit until 3rd month. Any employee or teachers discounts don’t hit until 3rd month. Plus fees and taxes. Average first bill is about $400 plus dollars. If I worked for the company named Cydcor, save your self.
@@Capturella Those credits are retro active so eventually the bill should balance itself out within the 3rd bill because you will get credits that you missed out on the first 2 months. And as well there is a promotion right now where activation fees are waived
is there a website that accurately has what bands cellphones support? i was using GSM arena but i cant trust it because it says my US variant of the S22 Ultra doesnt support N77 but i connect to it regularly.
Thanks for sharing this incredible content. One thing to consider in your future video is which MVNO throttles 5G download speed and which gives you non-throttled access to the backbone carrier's network. For example, what makes US Mobile(Their Warp 5G plan, which uses Verizon network) truely standout is they gives customer untrottled Verizon mmWave and c-band 5G access, I personally tested it in Denver downtown peaked at 3Gbps+ download! Other MVNO marketing their plan as "unlimited" or "5G" but caps the speed, i.e. H2O Wireless(AT&T) throttls 5G download speed at 70mbps as of late 2023 (I quited and switched to US Mobile, I doubt if things had changed since, they even throttle 4G LTE speed to 8mbps, yes a pathetic 8mbps! between 2017-2020s before 5G widely available in the US).
I think Cricket and AT&T Prepaid are your best options! Cricket offers unlimited everything for as low as $25 per month if you pay annually. Otherwise your options are Cricket Unlimited or AT&T Prepaid Unlimited MAX. I'd personally probably consider Cricket for a better app experience for managing my account. • Cricket Unlimited Annual ($25) - www.bestphoneplans.net/plans/cricket-unlimited-12-months • Cricket Unlimited ($50) - www.bestphoneplans.net/plans/cricket-unlimited • AT&T Prepaid Unlimited MAX ($55) - www.bestphoneplans.net/plans/att-prepaid-unlimited-max
So when you were talking about the number of lines, if you have multiple devices such as an iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch all with cellular capabilities that would count as three devices meaning the best option ends up being to go with one of the majors, is that correct or do iPads and Apple Watches not apply to the number of lines? I know some carriers have different pricing for non-phone devices that still have the ability to use the cellular network on their own.
Us cellular definitely sounds like it has a good plan but they don't support service around the Boston area which is a major miss considering its one of the bigger cities in the US 😔
Currently on tmobile work perks plan I've had for 5 years. Basically it was magenta max.. 160 for 4 lines. Unlimited prioritized data, free data calls and texts in many countries. And other small things. Unfortunately checking data usage and we use way to much for any other the mvnos to match the price. Guess I'm sticking to it for now 😅
Just wondering why Spectrum Moble did pop up in any aspect of the carriers you investgated. I know they use Verison as their network. We have used the for a few years but are funding them not staying competitive with others on your list. Again, why no mention of Spectrum mobile (which, I THINK) is/was part of Comcast.

Thank you for all this work! I switched to US Mobile thanks to you. Very happy with them!
Glad to hear it, Minny!
Thank you all you do! I’ve been with US mobile legacy plan after viewing and haven’t turned back! 2 perks is to good to lose
That $10 plan from US mobile is exactly what I’m looking for. Perfect for a second line that doesn’t need unlimited data or extra perks.
Do one for people with 2 lines. That seems to be the awkward spot for most carriers. Currently on the Tmobile 2 for $75 prepaid plan.
For two lines, it turns out it is typically best to put each line on its own plan suited for that line’s needs! Otherwise I’m a big fan of US Mobile’s 12GB shared data plan. $33/mo for 2 lines. Depends on what your data needs are though!
Hey thanks for all your hard work man, for real. Very informative at a time I've actually been trying to decide who to go with now that my phone is paid off.
Excellent and informative video. This answers ALL pertinent questions. Thank you.
Thank you!
Verizon has screwed my wife with our family plan, and the Visible + yearly billing plan is half the cost + smart watch compared to full Verizon.
My wife and I are now canceling paid phones on Verizon and moving the paid phones to low cost plans of this video.
Why would you go with boost infinite instead of getting visible or visible plus and buying a new phone every year with all of the savings?
Just subscribed, your videos are so well made and everything is explained really clearly! Using your videos, your website and your spreadsheet I've decided that we will likely be switching from Visible to US Mobile for a handful of reasons. Thank you!!
As always sir, you have always had the most up to date and helpful, useful, detailed info on how to find the best mobile service for our needs. We have a combination of Visible and US Mobile and could not be more satisfied!
There’s only one bad thing about US mobile everyone should know. They have an issue going on with their services. People have been complaining about their data completely turned off randomly even though it shouldn’t be happening and I’m a victim of it as well. It happens every week and it’s getting annoying to the point I’m considering switching. I have one option left so if it doesn’t work I’m switching. It doesn’t happen with every phone, but just a heads up to be cautious because it might happen to you.
What phones does it happen to most often?
What phone do you have?
Do you have an Iphone?
Is it still happening? I was planning on getting cell phone service through them.
@@ambitiousbeauty1013 I switched to US Mobile and have never had this happen to me. It is likely a device issue. I have an iPhone by the way and have had great service! ☺️
Stetson, the background you have setup is rather impressive , bravo.
I want to transfer my existing landline to a cellphone. I want a plan that lets me buy my own cellphone and pay for a service plan annually when service is activated. I want no monthly phone bill for smartphone. I want to own it outright from day one, so I already purchased a new phone from best buy {unlocked). How do I proceed, once phone is in my possession?.
answered all my questions. thank you!!!
Nice job man! Thanks! Sick of Verizon billing and support craziness (support sucks so badly). Looking to switch
Can you do an updated video on international data, talk, and text usage?
We have both Visible plans. I use the hotspot data the most so Visible+ is what I use. She has the Visible base plan for all that talking and playing phone games.
Ima be honest I love the fact that you can view dish and uscellular on the coverage map app and this video is very helpful for people looking at getting the best cell phone plan
The least I can do is leave a comment. You helped me cut my cell bill by 85%. My family thanks you. Verizon post paid to us mobile.
Thanks Stetson, super comprehensive. I’ll check out the spreadsheet!
Glad you liked it, Cole!
You helped me save over $150 a month. The only service that works where I am is Verizon. Just switched two phones and two Apple Watches. Now investigating using hotspot for my iPads. Nightmare switching but worth it. Thank you. ❤
Great information, Thank you
U.S. Mobile is looking even better now that it is adding the AT&T network next month. With the teleportal feature , which allows you to switch between the 3 networks makes this even more awesome
the best review so far 👌🏼
Just curious looked through all your content and notice you have no videos like ever mentioning consumer cellular!? they have some good offerings, thinking of getting the new Razr 2024 soon through them if boost doesn't get it soon, but ya I'm surprised you have no content on consumer cellular, They have cheaper plans then cricket and others too!
Very informative!! Thanks a lot for this video. Appreciate the time you put into this.
Please do car insurance comparison.
Great in depth information…thanks so much 💯
I use Visible. Its down right amazing in my area and for the cost, its super affordable.
If my phone is not unlocked, it’s locked with AT&T, can I use cricket and still use my locked phone since it’s hosted by AT&T?
Would love a video covering only AT&T and other carriers that work on AT&t as that is the only option i have. I AM currently Straight Talk but if i need a new phone or mew sim it doesn't sound like they will let me keep the GSM sim option.
I’ll add that to my video queue!
I’ve watched the video but if anyone sees this I would like some help!
Which is the best carrier for a person like myself that will wanting to have unlimited; is it the visible+ like he recommended in the video by Verizon? As currently I am on T-Mobile with my mother but I plan on switching to a new phone.
T mobile has a deal for me a military personnel at $65 for ONE line with 5G unlimited I believe. I am also upgrading to a new iPhone 16 soon as this is why I am in the comments asking for any help!😂
In conclusion which plan would be best for a single person wanting unlimited data etc
Your prior iteration of this was quite informative, as well. As a current US Mobile customer (dropped Verizon cause of your info), I hope you'll take another dive into their services again once "Project Deathstar" gets unleashed officially in about a month, please, cause I'm interested to hear your take on it.
I’ll definitely be sure to re-visit US Mobile later this year!
Like the map app. US Mobile also has custom plans like mobile x
I find US Mobile's custom plans to be a bit pricy. I think MobileX has the custom plans down.
I’m ditching t mobile since after I go over my data limit, on the unlimited plan, deprioritize means no service in many places. Glad I found this video
This guy is a legend for this. Never liked a video so fast.
This is so helpful, thank you! We have 6 lines and are thinking about switching from Tmobile to at&t for the upgraded phone options. We use a decent amount of data, do you think we will notice a huge slowdown with at&t data compared to tmobile?
Thanks for this very thought-out and informative video.
You are welcome!
Wow ! Great work 🫶🏽👏🏽🔥
Hay great video, question I would like to know if I got Visible plus will it work well with my Android phone and smartwatch from Samsung?
What a fantastic video I am paying $74 a month ATT I will be switching need to figure out what company and which plan I’m gonna go with!
I cant believe you dont charge for this kind of info! Thank you so much
I’m sure he will be rewarded substantially!!! Again, I have know doubt!!!
I just swapped from t-mobile to visible, t-mobile just bumped my bill up by 20$ making it unjustifiable to me. Also got my fiancée on paying 100$ for two lines and two new phones. Also another benefit is we spend quite a bit of time each year at the lake and hunting we have no service at the mountain we go to for hunts and lake we fish at but with Verizon’s network we do in quite a few spots
Great content as always! Saved over $60 thanks to you!
Hopefully that's $60 per month haha!
@@StetsonDoggett yes hahah😂
The problem with some of these is roaming. Visible will not roam on other carriers in the US
Costco members are now getting exclusive discounts on AT&T postpaid plans right now as well. Just found this out yesterday.
That would also be a good deal!
Can you make a video about this?
Don’t do it!
Let’s say your bill is $160 for 4 lines
$35 per line activation fee
$10 per line for auto pay, because discount doesn’t come until 3rd month.
Pro ration 30-60 days, so your bill is double first month,
Trade in credits don’t hit until 3rd month.
Any employee or teachers discounts don’t hit until 3rd month.
Plus fees and taxes.
Average first bill is about $400 plus dollars.
If I worked for the company named Cydcor, save your self.
@@Capturella Those credits are retro active so eventually the bill should balance itself out within the 3rd bill because you will get credits that you missed out on the first 2 months. And as well there is a promotion right now where activation fees are waived
Wait why wasn't Mint Mobile on any of best option lists?
Your website is pretty dope !!
is there a website that accurately has what bands cellphones support? i was using GSM arena but i cant trust it because it says my US variant of the S22 Ultra doesnt support N77 but i connect to it regularly.
Stetson! Love the video! What is the best CDMA/Verizon network based service? Tmobile//AT&T network coverage is horrible in my area...
Thanks for sharing this incredible content. One thing to consider in your future video is which MVNO throttles 5G download speed and which gives you non-throttled access to the backbone carrier's network. For example, what makes US Mobile(Their Warp 5G plan, which uses Verizon network) truely standout is they gives customer untrottled Verizon mmWave and c-band 5G access, I personally tested it in Denver downtown peaked at 3Gbps+ download! Other MVNO marketing their plan as "unlimited" or "5G" but caps the speed, i.e. H2O Wireless(AT&T) throttls 5G download speed at 70mbps as of late 2023 (I quited and switched to US Mobile, I doubt if things had changed since, they even throttle 4G LTE speed to 8mbps, yes a pathetic 8mbps! between 2017-2020s before 5G widely available in the US).
I am the looking for unlimited data plan for an mvno on att. What do you recommend?
I think Cricket and AT&T Prepaid are your best options! Cricket offers unlimited everything for as low as $25 per month if you pay annually. Otherwise your options are Cricket Unlimited or AT&T Prepaid Unlimited MAX. I'd personally probably consider Cricket for a better app experience for managing my account.
• Cricket Unlimited Annual ($25) - www.bestphoneplans.net/plans/cricket-unlimited-12-months
• Cricket Unlimited ($50) - www.bestphoneplans.net/plans/cricket-unlimited
• AT&T Prepaid Unlimited MAX ($55) - www.bestphoneplans.net/plans/att-prepaid-unlimited-max
switching to Visible+ yearly plan on my next billing
Do you have recommended plan for senior citizens?
Best of the Best
Thank you
Do you have any info on the free spectrum mobile offer?
So when you were talking about the number of lines, if you have multiple devices such as an iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch all with cellular capabilities that would count as three devices meaning the best option ends up being to go with one of the majors, is that correct or do iPads and Apple Watches not apply to the number of lines? I know some carriers have different pricing for non-phone devices that still have the ability to use the cellular network on their own.
-- Great information. -- Thanks!
You're welcome!
Hi, Can you do a video about cell phone plans for $5 and $10 plan only. Thanks
Us cellular definitely sounds like it has a good plan but they don't support service around the Boston area which is a major miss considering its one of the bigger cities in the US 😔
Thank you for sharing.
Excellent info!
So glad you found it useful! 🫡
Currently on tmobile work perks plan I've had for 5 years. Basically it was magenta max.. 160 for 4 lines. Unlimited prioritized data, free data calls and texts in many countries. And other small things. Unfortunately checking data usage and we use way to much for any other the mvnos to match the price. Guess I'm sticking to it for now 😅
Just wondering why Spectrum Moble did pop up in any aspect of the carriers you investgated. I know they use Verison as their network. We have used the for a few years but are funding them not staying competitive with others on your list. Again, why no mention of Spectrum mobile (which, I THINK) is/was part of Comcast.
What are your thoughts on previ? How do they get those pricing?
Thank YOU 🎉🎉❤😊
For the chart sharing I subscribed
Thanks for the guide!
