How this ranking works
One method for every tool. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run hands-on tests. Value carries the most weight.
Full methodThis list is for anyone picking a carrier plan who wants the best balance of monthly price, network coverage and included perks. It covers the three national carriers and six prepaid and online carriers that run on their networks. We compared documented features and published prices on each carrier's own plan pages on November 10, 2026. Rankozo weights value at 40%, features at 35% and ease of use at 25%. Starting prices are for one line in USD per month, with the condition behind each price stated next to it. Xfinity Mobile, Spectrum Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile were left out because their plan pages could not be checked from our location.
The verdict
Visible ranks first because it puts Verizon coverage and unlimited data on one line for $25 a month with nothing added at checkout. US Mobile is the best value for perks, with unlimited data for $25 and free roaming in 180+ countries on its $44 Premium plan. Mint Mobile has the lowest entry price at $15 a month if you prepay. T-Mobile and Verizon are the strongest postpaid choices: T-Mobile for flexible perks and travel data, Verizon for its single Simplicity Plan at $30 after discounts. Google Fi leads for international data, Boost for a fixed $25 price, Cricket for in-store help, and AT&T for mixing tiers across a family.

Best forPeople who want Verizon coverage and unlimited data on one line without a postpaid bill.
Visible is the simplest way onto Verizon's network. Its three plans all include unlimited data, talk, text and hotspot, and the broadband label for the $25 base plan states it is not an introductory rate, needs no contract and adds no provider fees, one-time fees or early termination fee. Visible+ at $35 moves you to premium data on Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network, doubles hotspot speed to 10 Mbps and adds 2GB of data in Canada and Mexico plus one travel day a month in 140 destinations. Visible+ Pro at $45 adds calls to 85+ destinations, a second travel day and smartwatch service. In November 2026 the HOLIDAYHACK code cut the tiers to $19, $29 and $39 for one, three and five years. A 15-day free trial with no credit card lets you check coverage at home first. The catch is service: there are no stores, so porting, eSIM setup and help all run through the app.
- ✓Broadband label lists no provider fees, no one-time fees and no early termination fee
- ✓Runs on a network Visible says covers 99% of the US population
- ✓Holiday codes lock lower prices for up to 5 years
- ✕No stores; support and setup happen in the app and online
- ✕Base plan does not include premium data
- ✕Smartwatch service is only included on Visible+ Pro
- Network:
- Verizon 5G and 4G LTE
- Plans:
- Visible $25, Visible+ $35, Visible+ Pro $45

Bottom line: Visible pairs Verizon coverage with the clearest all-in price on this list, which is why it ranks first. Pick Visible+ if you want premium data and travel days.

8.6/10Online carrier that lets each line pick its network, with unlimited plans priced taxes and fees included.
Price

Best forShoppers who want premium unlimited perks like international roaming at a lower price than the big three.
US Mobile packs more choice into a plan than any other carrier here. Instead of tying you to one network, it lets each line run on one of several, and a Network Transfer moves you if coverage disappoints. Unlimited Starter costs $25 a month with unlimited high-speed data and 20GB of hotspot, while Unlimited Premium at $44 adds unlimited priority data, roaming with 20GB in 180+ countries and a free smartwatch plan on one network. Families with three Premium lines get a $15 monthly credit toward one of more than ten services such as Netflix, Spotify Family or Xbox Game Pass for a year. Taxes and fees are already in the price, and paying annually saves up to 43%. In November 2026, people porting a number paid $15 and $25 for six months. The trade-off is complexity: features differ by network, and the plan page asks you to read the details before choosing.
- ✓Taxes and fees are included in the plan price
- ✓International roaming in 180+ countries is free on Unlimited Premium
- ✓Plans work across several networks, so you can switch if coverage is weak
- ✕Features vary by network, which takes some reading
- ✕Promo prices are for port-ins only and renew at full price
- ✕No retail stores
- Cheapest unlimited:
- $25 a month, Unlimited Starter
- Premium plan:
- $44 a month
- Roaming:
- Free on Premium, $15 a month on other plans
- Taxes and fees:
- Included
Bottom line: US Mobile gives the most features per dollar, especially free roaming on Premium. It suits people willing to spend ten minutes picking a network.

Mint Mobile
8.5/10T-Mobile-owned prepaid carrier that sells data plans in 3, 6 and 12 month blocks.
Price
$15per month, new-customer rate prepaid for 3 to 12 months
New customers pay $15 per month on any plan, from 6GB to unlimited, prepaid as $45 for 3 months, $90 for 6 or $180 for 12; regular 3-month rates run $25 to $45 a month; taxes and fees extra
“Upfront payment of $45 for 3-month plan, $90 for 6-month plan, or $180 for 12-month plan (each equiv. to $15/mo.) req’d.” Quoted from the pricing page, November 10, 2026.

Best forBudget buyers who can prepay a few months to get the lowest monthly rate on a major network.
Mint Mobile trades flexibility for price. Every plan, from 6GB up to unlimited, costs new customers $15 a month, but you pay for the whole term at checkout: $45 for three months, $90 for six or $180 for twelve. Its broadband labels show that the $15 is an introductory rate and that the regular three-month price runs from $25 for 6GB to $45 for unlimited, so it pays to renew on a 12-month term. All plans include unlimited talk and text, free calls to Mexico, Canada and the UK, and a mobile hotspot, which reaches up to 20GB on Unlimited. Mint lists no early termination fee. Unlimited users who pass 50GB a month may see slower speeds when the network is busy, and video streams in SD. Taxes and small recovery fees are added to the bill. It is the cheapest way to start on a major network if you are comfortable paying ahead.
- ✓$15 a month for any plan in the first term
- ✓Longer terms keep prices low after the intro
- ✓No early termination fee on the broadband label
- ✕Requires paying 3 to 12 months up front
- ✕Intro rate applies to the first term only
- ✕Unlimited video streams in SD and may slow after 50GB when busy
- Intro price:
- $15 a month on any plan
- Regular 3-month price:
- $25 to $45 a month
- Data tiers:
- 6GB, 17GB, 23GB, unlimited
- Taxes and fees:
- Extra
Bottom line: Mint has the lowest entry price of any carrier here at $15 a month. Buy the 12-month term to keep the renewal rate down.

Best forFamilies and heavy users who want premium data, travel data and perks on one bill.
T-Mobile's T-Mix lineup is built for people who want extras. Each plan except Saver comes with Picks, a set of benefits you choose and can remix every three months, and adding lines gives you more of them. T-Mix Saver and Standard both include 50GB of premium data, while More and Loaded give unlimited premium data, up to 4K video, and data in Canada, Mexico and 215+ countries. Loaded adds 250GB of high-speed hotspot and $5 watch and tablet lines. The broadband labels list single-line prices from $55 for Saver to $105 for Loaded before AutoPay, with five lines on Standard at $180. T-Mobile cites Ookla data naming it the best mobile network in the US for the first half of 2026. The costs add up, though: a $5.49 per-line regulatory and telco recovery fee, government surcharges and up to $35 per line at activation sit on top of the plan price.
- ✓Most perks and travel data of any plan here
- ✓Benefits can be changed every 3 months
- ✓Per-line price drops sharply with 4 or 5 lines
- ✕Single-line prices are the highest on this list
- ✕Regulatory and telco recovery fee adds $5.49 per line
- ✕Device connection charge of up to $35 per line
- Plans:
- T-Mix Saver, Standard, More, Loaded
- 1 line:
- $55 to $105 before AutoPay
- 5 lines on T-Mix Standard:
- $180 a month
- Early termination fee:
- $0
Bottom line: T-Mobile has the richest plans and the most flexible perks, but one line costs about twice what Visible or US Mobile charge. It makes most sense for families of four or more.

Verizon
8.4/10Largest US postpaid carrier, now selling a single Simplicity Plan with optional perk bundles.
Price
$30per line per month after AutoPay and switch discount, taxes and fees extra
Simplicity Plan $30 per month for a single line after AutoPay and a $15 a month switch discount, plus taxes and fees; perk bundles from $15 to $30 a month

Best forPeople who want Verizon's full network, satellite texting and add-on streaming perks on a postpaid bill.
Verizon replaced its menu of plans with one: the Simplicity Plan. A single line costs $30 a month after AutoPay and a $15 monthly switch discount, plus taxes and fees, and includes unlimited 5G Ultra Wideband data, 10GB of hotspot, talk, text and data in Mexico and Canada, satellite texting on select new Android phones, call filtering and the Verizon Family app. Customers also earn Verizon Dollars, 3% cash back each month that can go toward the bill. Perks are sold as bundles on top, such as Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ with ads, Netflix and HBO Max with ads, Apple One, YouTube Premium, Google AI Pro or three TravelPass days, mostly priced between $15 and $30 a month. Verizon says activation and upgrade fees are gone. The weak spots are that the headline price leans on a switch discount, and heavy hotspot users need the $15 unlimited hotspot add-on.
- ✓One plan, so there is little to compare
- ✓Optional perk bundles for streaming, travel or cloud storage
- ✓Activation and upgrade fees removed
- ✕The $30 price depends on a $15 switch discount
- ✕Taxes and fees are added on top
- ✕Hotspot is capped at 10GB unless you add a perk
- Plan:
- Simplicity Plan
- Single line:
- $30 a month after AutoPay and switch discount
- Hotspot:
- 10GB
- Satellite texting:
- Select new Android phones
Bottom line: Verizon's Simplicity Plan is far easier to read than its old lineup and competitive for switchers. Check the price without the switch discount before you commit.

Best forInternational travelers and Pixel owners who want data abroad on a simple Google account.
Google Fi is the strongest pick here for people who travel. Unlimited Premium costs $65 for one line and includes 50GB of high-speed data in more than 200 destinations, plus six months of YouTube Premium and 100GB of Google One storage. Unlimited Standard at $50 keeps hotspot tethering and 50GB of high-speed data, and Unlimited Essentials at $35 is the cheapest unlimited option with 30GB. The Flexible plan charges $20 a month for one line plus $10 per GB, which can be the cheapest bill of all for someone who lives on Wi-Fi. Prices fall with more lines, down to $23 per line for four on Essentials. A 50% discount for people bringing a Pixel ended on November 10, 2026. Taxes and government surcharges are added to the bill, and single-line unlimited pricing is higher than Visible or US Mobile.
- ✓Strongest international data of the unlimited plans here
- ✓Group pricing drops to $23 per line on Essentials
- ✓Pay-per-GB option for very light users
- ✕Single-line unlimited plans cost more than most MVNOs
- ✕Taxes and government fees are extra
- ✕Essentials has no hotspot
- Plans:
- Flexible, Unlimited Essentials, Standard, Premium
- 1 line unlimited:
- $35 to $65 a month
- International data:
- 50GB in 200+ destinations on Premium
- Pixel offer:
- 50% off for 12 months, ended 11/10/26
Bottom line: Google Fi is worth the higher price if you travel abroad often. Stay-at-home users will get more for less from Visible or US Mobile.

Best forPrepaid buyers who want a low unlimited price that stays fixed.
Boost Mobile's pitch is a price that will not move. Its Unlimited plan costs $25 a month with AutoPay, or $30 without, and Boost states customers keep paying $25 for as long as they stay on the plan. New customers paid $10 a month for the first six months in November 2026 and got 50GB of premium data for a limited time. Speeds can slow after 30GB normally. Global Connection at $40 includes 40GB of premium data, global talk and text, and 1GB of roaming, which is good value for people calling family abroad. Unlimited+ at $50 adds a mobile hotspot, up to $300 in device savings and buy-now-pay-later financing, with $20 off for two lines. A 30-day money-back guarantee lowers the risk of trying it. The base plan does not include hotspot and leaves fewer perks than Visible at the same price.
- ✓Price stays $25 as long as you remain on the plan
- ✓$10 a month for the first 6 months for new customers
- ✓30-day money-back guarantee
- ✕Speeds may slow after 30GB on the base plan
- ✕$25 requires AutoPay
- ✕Hotspot only on Unlimited+
- Unlimited:
- $25 a month with AutoPay
- Global Connection:
- $40 a month, 40GB premium data
- Unlimited+:
- $50 a month
- Guarantee:
- 30 days
Bottom line: Boost is a solid fixed-price prepaid option, especially with the six-month new-customer discount. Global Connection is the pick for international callers.

Best forPrepaid buyers on AT&T's network who want a store nearby and an all-in price.
Cricket Wireless runs on AT&T's nationwide 5G network and is one of the few prepaid carriers with walk-in stores. Its lineup is short: Sensible 10GB at $30 a month with Auto Pay, Select Unlimited at $35 for new lines, Smart Unlimited at $45 and Supreme Unlimited at $55, each $5 more in the first month. Smart Unlimited adds 15GB of hotspot, 100GB of cloud storage, texts to 200+ countries and usage in Mexico and Canada. Supreme Unlimited is the only plan with unlimited high-speed data and adds 50GB of hotspot, 150GB of storage and HBO Max Basic with Ads. On the lower plans Cricket may slow data when the network is busy and caps video at SD. The prices are fair for the network, but Visible, US Mobile and Boost offer unlimited data for less, so Cricket mainly wins on in-person service and the streaming perk on its top plan.
- ✓Retail stores for in-person help
- ✓Top plan bundles HBO Max Basic with Ads
- ✓Clear four-plan lineup
- ✕Video is limited to SD on most plans
- ✕Base plans have no Mexico and Canada usage
- ✕First month costs $5 more than the Auto Pay price
- Network:
- AT&T 5G
- Plans:
- $30 to $55 a month with Auto Pay
- Top plan hotspot:
- 50GB
- Streaming perk:
- HBO Max Basic with Ads on Supreme
Bottom line: Cricket is the prepaid choice for people who want a store and AT&T coverage. Supreme Unlimited is the plan with real perks.

Best forFamilies on AT&T's network who want to mix plan tiers across lines.
AT&T's Unlimited Your Way 2.0 lineup lets each line on an account pick its own tier. Value 2.0 starts at $30 per line with AutoPay, paperless billing and a $5 credit for bringing your own phone, but gets only 5GB of high-speed data and 3GB of hotspot before speeds may slow. Extra 2.0 raises that to 100GB with 50GB of hotspot. Premium 2.0 gives high-speed data that will not slow based on use, 100GB hotspot and data in 20 Latin American countries, and Elite 2.0 adds 250GB hotspot, international talk, text and 20GB of data in over 210 destinations, plus a smartwatch and tablet line. With four lines, per-line prices run from $25 to $65. Eligible teachers, military, union members and employees can save up to 20%. The lineup is strong at the top end, but entry pricing needs several conditions, and taxes and fees come on top.
- ✓Each line can be on a different plan
- ✓Elite 2.0 has the best international package of AT&T's tiers
- ✓Discounts of up to 20% for teachers, military and other groups
- ✕Value 2.0 gets only 5GB of high-speed data before possible slowing
- ✕Lowest prices need 4 lines, AutoPay and paperless billing
- ✕Taxes and fees extra
- Plans:
- Value 2.0, Extra 2.0, Premium 2.0, Elite 2.0
- From:
- $30 a month per line
- Elite 2.0 hotspot:
- 250GB
- Group discounts:
- Up to 20% for eligible groups
Bottom line: AT&T suits families who want different plans per person on one account. Single-line buyers get more for less elsewhere on this list.
What to check before you pay
Decide if you need a big-three plan
Visible, Mint, Cricket and Boost run on the same national networks as Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T, usually for less. Postpaid plans from the big three make sense if you want streaming perks, international data, store support or device deals. If you mostly need data at home and on your commute, a prepaid or online carrier will cost less.
Compare the full monthly bill
Visible and US Mobile include taxes and fees in their prices. T-Mobile adds a $5.49 per-line regulatory and telco recovery fee plus surcharges, and Verizon, AT&T, Mint and Google Fi add taxes and fees too. Many headline prices also assume AutoPay, a switch discount or a bring-your-own-phone credit.
Check intro rates and renewals
Mint's $15 rate covers the first term only, and US Mobile's and Boost's lower prices last six months. Visible's HOLIDAYHACK code locks lower prices for one to five years. Write down the regular price before you switch.
Match perks to how you use the phone
Travelers should look at Google Fi Unlimited Premium, US Mobile Unlimited Premium, T-Mix More or Loaded, or AT&T Elite 2.0, all of which include data abroad. Hotspot users should look at T-Mix Loaded or AT&T Elite 2.0. Streamers can get perks from Verizon bundles, T-Mobile Picks or Cricket Supreme.
Test coverage before porting
Visible offers a 15-day free trial without a credit card, US Mobile has a free trial, and Boost has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Use them to check signal at home and work before moving your number.
