Same! until I switched to Mint Mobile just a few months ago because I was regularly hitting the bandwidth limit. I wish Google Fi was price competitive and didn't have conflicts with Google Voice, but it's just not there.

I went from a $70 per month plan to mint mobile and now I don't even remember what I pay because it is so much cheaper ($15 or less for 2GB). I love paying for a year at a time through a really clean interface, getting a discount AND not caring about bills. The reception of t-mobile is not always great and mint uses T-Mobile, but I'm a mint shill now. T-Mobile was so terrible I couldn't even pay my bill in their store. Their service was awful and if you couldn't do something online you might as well forget it. It turned into modern banking, where going to a physical location would just get you people telling you they can't do anything and that you have to everything through their website while pretending that that isn't ridiculous.

I've been using Mint Mobile for a few years. If you're ok being on an MVNO they use T-Mobile towers and offer an 8 GB, $20/mo plan, hotspot included. It includes unlimited calling unlike the discontinued Walmart plan.

  Mint Mobile is also getting the SARS uncapped data limit, too, since we're on the T-Mobile network.

    This may be true, but fyi, it isn't necessarily true - the MVNO is the one that sets the data charges in this case. If Mint did the right thing, I'm glad, though.

      Mint sent out an email a few days after T-Mobile did, announcing we're getting it too.

It looks like they added a $25/5GB/month plan too: https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/plan-detail/t-mobile-connect https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/plan-detail/t-mobile-connect
