Yes this is something I have been really surprised by too - people spending 50,60,70+ USD a month on a mobile service. WTF?
Even in the UK there are numerous providers (some virtual networks I admit but they still price differently) and you can get perfectly decent service for less than 10GBP (typically unlimited calls, but data is the thing you pay for now, so 5GBP might get you 500mb of data 10GBP gets you 2gb a month, 15GBP gets you 5gb etc. I personally never user more than a few GB a month on my phone - WiFi is everywhere)
- knolan 5y agoI haven’t had data allowances that low in years. I pay €10 per month for an ‘unlimited’ SIM only plan. The fair usage limit is 120GB per month.
- mattlondon 5y agoYeah you are right - I don't know about unlimited but I had a look and it seems like 8-10GB a month is now possible for about 6-8GBP a month so it is getting cheaper. I've not updated my contract in a few years since it is pretty cheap already.
- iso1210 5y agoThere's providers with unlimited data in the UK for £15/month, 10-15G range is £4-5/month usmobile.com say 12G is $20/month - about 3 times the price of the UK, but I don't trust US prices as whenever I buy anything in the US the price balloons at checkout with extra taxes and fees and tips and whatever, which aren't advertised, but aren't optional.
