Link the prepaid plan with unlimited data for both a phone, a tablet, and via a hotspot (and unlimited text/call on the phone obviously) each for 4 lines at $40/line/month and I'll switch today.

Us Mobile is very competitive. I use a pooled data plan tho instead of “unlimited” because it’s only $2/gig and i typically use way less than what i would need to to make the unlimited plans worth it. I end up paying $30-$40 a month total for 2 lines.

  I use on average 30-40 GB/month and have hit as high as 100 in a month in the past (the other people on my plan aren't as bad, but are similar). I understand that "unlimited" plans mean I'll generally eventually hit a limit where my speeds get throttled but $2/GB is not comparable to Google Fi at all.

    They have plans similar to GoogleFi as well.

      Their unlimited plans look interesting (roughly equivalent for $30/month) but I don't see any info on if they offer data-only SIMs similar to Google Fi. If they do I'd definitely strongly consider switching.

        Update: US Mobile does not include taxes and regulatory fees in their listed pricing (Google Fi does), which still makes them better but not by as much.

mint is 30 a month per device for an unilimited plan but yes I understand they are slightly different plans at this tier. Google doesn't throttle until 50gb which is pretty good. But, that's not the typical use case. I'm talking more single or 2 plan setup, Google Fi is simply 2x more expensive at that tier.

  Mint's $30/month plan only offers 5GB of hotspot data, and I couldn't find any info about data-only SIMs (which Google Fi provides for free). Additionally, to get $30/month you have to commit to an entire year. Obviously, for some people, they won't care about these features/downsides and consider the plan worth it. But comparing it to Google Fi as an equivalent but cheaper option is just misleading.
