It doesn’t matter if you’re an\u00a0Apple<\/span><\/span>\u00a0fan using the latest iPhone or a lifelong\u00a0Android<\/span><\/span>\u00a0user looking to upgrade to the newest Pixel or Galaxy — to get the most out of your device you’ll need a good unlimited data plan. Unfortunately, when it comes to finding the overall “best” unlimited plan, things can get a little challenging. Unlike with\u00a0home internet<\/span><\/span>\u00a0services, where your options are often limited by your location, most people living in the US have their pick of all the major competitors and carriers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And with so many different options, it can be tricky to tell which ones are truly a good value, especially since carriers love to make bold claims about performance and coverage at different prices. Adding to the fun are recent reshuffling of plans by both T-Mobile<\/a> and Verizon<\/a> with different names, perks, prices and features.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To help you narrow down the best unlimited data plans out there, I’m going to focus on the three major carriers — Verizon, T-Mobile and ATT — combing through the multiple postpaid unlimited plans available to find the ones that provide the most perks and value for single lines and for families of four, so you can find the best plan for you and your budget. <\/p>\n

Know your area
<\/h2>\n

Before we get to the plans, to get the best deal you need to make sure you have the coverage that you need. This makes it very hard for us to give a blanket recommendation of any one carrier. T-Mobile’s service in New York may be excellent, but if you’re in rural Iowa, Verizon is more reliable.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

While your mileage may vary, the good news is that these networks are growing and improving all the time, particularly as the three major players race to blanket the US with 5G. It’s quite possible that you left a network complaining about its sparse service a decade ago, but now it’s beefed itself up because of that race to acquire customers. <\/p>\n

If you know any friends or family in your area that already use the carrier you’re considering, ask about their experience. You could also go to a carrier’s store and see if they offer any free ways to try out the service before switching over, such as T-Mobile’s Network Pass<\/span><\/span>. Verizon now offers a similar 30-day “Test Drive” program<\/span><\/span> while the Cricket prepaid service has rolled out its own trial program<\/span><\/span> that lets you sample parent ATT’s network. <\/p>\n

Know your deals and discounts
<\/h2>\n

One other thing to keep in mind: discounts. All of the carriers offer additional discounts that you could be eligible for, depending on your employer, military status, student status or age. <\/p>\n

First responders, military members, veterans, nurses and teachers can get discounts on every major carrier. Verizon has discounts<\/a><\/span> for students, while T-Mobile’s Work perk could knock 15% off the monthly price of a Go5G Plus plan<\/a>, with ATT offering a similar program for its\u00a0Unlimited Premium plans that it calls Signature<\/a>. ATT also has a promotion for teachers that offers 25% off its latest unlimited plans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re 55 or older, you may also be eligible for a discounted plan: T-Mobile<\/a><\/span> offers discounted plans nationwide for as low as $55 a month for two lines, and\u00a0Verizon<\/a><\/span> and ATT<\/a><\/span> offer similar options — but only for Florida residents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that some carriers, particularly Verizon right now, sometimes advertise different rates on their websites that are geared toward switchers. A current promotion at the carrier offers a discount on the monthly plan, but only if you switch to Verizon and are bringing your own phone (not trading in and financing a new one on an installment plan). Our recommendations below reflect the actual rate outside of these very specific promotions.<\/p>\n

Now, onto the picks. <\/p>\n

Our picks

T-Mobile recently reshuffled its plans, getting rid of what was our previous pick in this spot, the Base Essentials plan that offered a single line for $45 per month. It replaced that option with an Essentials Savings plan, a “limited time” offer of $50 a month for a single line.<\/p>\n
