Families and groups looking to choose a mobile plan may find options from T-Mobile and Verizon particularly appealing, especially when considering the costs associated with multiple lines. T-Mobile offers several plans, including a $100 option for four lines and a more comprehensive $170 plan that includes additional features like high-speed data.
Verizon matches T-Mobile's four-line plan at the same price of $100, providing competitive alternatives for those switching or adding family members to their accounts. Both carriers allow for up to six lines on a single account, which can help minimize expenses for larger groups.
While T-Mobile's plans come with 50GB of high-speed data in the U.S., users should note that data in Canada and Mexico is limited to 2G speeds. Additionally, hotspot capabilities on T-Mobile's plans are restricted to 3G speeds. No five-year price guarantee is offered, and taxes and fees are not included in the quoted monthly costs.
For families considering mobile service, these plans present a balance of features and pricing, though it is essential to evaluate which benefits will be most useful for everyone involved.
