Oh right I thought for some reason people often paid like $70 for phone contracts in the US.
On the top tier plan it's $70.
* 2 lines is $60/line ($120)
* 3 lines is $50/line ($150)
And you have to regularly shop around. Do you want more data or voice? Do you want international roaming? International calling? Spotify? Netflix? Hulu?
I, for example have a T-Mobile Magenta Plus. It also includes, Netflix, Apple TV+, Paramount+ (the Star Trek Channel), and Spotify. Those services are $40 separately.
with "unlimited data" that is capped at 15g. unfortunately it's the only provider that works where we live in Michigan
I have a friend on the police/emergency responder ATT network (FirstNet) and he said he's NEVER had it slow down since those EIMIs get priority routing. I'm sure someone in telco network operations could explain this even better than I can.
Its even more extreme than that, they have their own frequencies.
