Verizon is known for its fast mobile service in select areas. While T-Mobile may be the fastest overall carrier in the U.S., Verizon excels in coverage and performance, especially in urban areas with high-band mmWave 5G service.
Although Verizon’s plans come with perks, they can be expensive. However, there are more affordable options available through Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that use the same networks but offer budget-friendly plans with reliable coverage and performance.
Visible
Visible, owned by Verizon, provides affordable plans starting at $25 per month with unlimited data, talk, and text on Verizon’s network. The $45 plan offers access to Verizon’s ultra-fast 5G Ultra Wideband network.
Discounts are available for yearly plans, with the standard plan at $295 per year and the Visible Plus plan at $395 per year, offering significant savings. Visible also has additional perks like mobile hotspot access and Connection Protection for those facing financial difficulties.
US Mobile
US Mobile offers budget-friendly plans on Verizon’s network, starting at $8 per month for 2GB of data. Various data options are available for individual and family plans, with access to Verizon’s 5G UW network.
Additionally, US Mobile provides benefits like free streaming service credits for multiple lines and the flexibility to switch between Verizon and T-Mobile networks using eSIM technology.
Mint Mobile
Mint Mobile offers unlimited data plans on T-Mobile’s network at competitive prices. With options for prepaid plans ranging from 5GB to unlimited data, Mint Mobile is a cost-effective choice for those seeking reliable service without added frills.
Some of the key features of Mint Mobile include mobile hotspot access, international calling, and affordable family plan options without discounts.
