and then once you realize how much data it eats, you'll see why they wanted to disable it in the first place

Serious question, does anyone really struggle with staying under their data limit anymore? I pay $28AUD a month and get 85GB, and I use about 20 of that per month?

American plans are generally a lot more expensive. Take a look at ATNT for example.

In America, for unlimited it costs $80 on Verizon. With 5 lines it decreased to $30.

There are other alternatives like Mint mobile, however they are also expensive. 10 GB costs around $20 monthly excluding taxes.

In short, Mobile data is too expensive in the USA.

I pay $65 for unlimited on straight talk, which is on Verizon's network. I could get it cheaper if I gave up tethering or shared a plan.

There are other MVNOs that are even cheaper, for example Mint is unlimited (35GB of 5G then the rest on LTE) at $30 a month.

In Italy I pay less than $10 for about 120GB/month on 5G networks (Iliad).
