Choosing a mobile data plan for yourself or your business can seem daunting with many network providers. Since plan pricing and features range significantly across providers, it’s essential to take your time to explore, shop around, and even ask your loved ones for recommendations. Depending on what you plan to use your data for, your budget, and other factors, here are the top five mobile data plans to check out:

Verizon Play More Unlimited
Priced at $80 for one line (and $180 for four), the Verizon Play More Unlimited is one of the best overall mobile plans available today, offering unlimited data, calling, and texting, along with an Apple Arcade or Google Play pass, and a complimentary subscription to the Disney Bundle, that is, Hulu, ESPN+, and Disney+. It also grants unlimited access to Verizon’s premium WideBand 5G Network and 25GB of 5G mobile hotspot data.

Visible
Those looking for the best value for their money must check out Visible’s unlimited mobile data, text, and call plan. Priced at just $30, the basic plan offers unlimited mobile hot-spotting, free calls to Canada and Mexico, no hidden data caps, and no hidden upcharges. You can also opt for their premium tier, priced at $45 per month, which offers an additional 50 GB of priority data.

Mint Mobile
With pricing options starting at $30, Mint Mobile offers unlimited data, calling, and texting, with perks like 5G and free calls to Mexico and Canada. There are no hidden charges as you buy your data upfront, eliminating the need for bills later and saving the trouble of credit checks. But, according to their unique pricing scheme, you can receive lower rates for multiple months in the future.

AT&T Unlimited Plus
For high-end options, the AT&T Unlimited Plus Plan costs $85 and offers unlimited data, talk, and text benefits. It also includes perks like 5G, free calls to Canada and Mexico, 100GB of priority data, a 50GB hotspot allowance, and unlimited 4K UHD streaming, which sets it apart.

If you have multiple lines, you can also opt for the Go5G plan by T-Mobile, which offers three phone lines for $130 per month. This plan has unlimited phone plan benefits, 100GB of premium data, a single-screen Netflix subscription, and more. In addition, you can qualify for an additional AutoPay discount using a suitable payment method. The company also offers a “Work perk” – a 15% monthly Go5G Plus membership discount for eligible individuals.

There are several discounts available on mobile data plans. Most major carriers offer discounts for first responders, military members, veterans, nurses, and teachers. AT&T offers a 25% discount to teachers on their latest plans, while Verizon has several discount plans for students. People over 55 in Florida may also qualify for senior citizen discounts from Verizon and AT&T. Some mobile network providers also offer discounts to make people switch to their services.
