Nobody should pay that much for a cellphone.
$25 dollars a month
unlimited text call and data uses Verizon's network
$20 off your first month with my code:

Using my code or not please switch to something like this Google Fi or mint mobile and save yourself the money. These greedy telecom giants don't need it.
You have to pay a full year at a time, but Mint has a $15 a month plan. 5 GB of data, but I'm almost always near WiFi, so that's plenty. I generally use less than 80%, cause I don't always get that message in the last couple days of the month.
T-Mobile has the same plan, no commitment. Search for T-Mobile connect plans.
I use Mint (T-Mobile towers), $120 every 3 months. Unlimited calling, texting and data (your speed is throttled after 40GB). Included is 10GB hotspot data. I have absolutely no issues with it.
What's their data caps before throttling?
It looks like 50gb of data
The 50gb is for the $45 plan. On the $25 plan, Verizon will prioritize others whenever there is congestion.
Which are the times you're most likely going to be off wifi (commuting, at an event, lunch break). Not bad if you straight up don't have Internet at home though.
That's not bad for the $349 a year price at all, since it also comes with unlimited hotspot. Better than what mint offers.
