Phone plan research help? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for a cheap plan for two unlocked phones that I already have. I'd like a plan that has 5-10 gigs per line, works with T-Mobile or Verizon, and available in Ohio.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely website that would easily and clearly compare cell phone plans from any provider who had service in a given area. It has since been filled with ads, featured partners and compares only introductory rates.

Is there another site that compiles and compares real world information on data plans and stuff? Do I have to just poke around on multiple different websites and compile information myself?

Cheapest that I know of for what you are asking is redpocket.com which is an MVNO for both tmo and Verizon. I have been using them for a few years and there were several issues with my old phone not supporting LTE properly, but with my new phone that seems to have cleared up. Their online chat support was very slow for a while but seems to be better now.

5GB/month is $20 on a monthly plan or $15/m ($180/year) on an annual plan through their site. Their very cheapest plans are annual and sold only on ebay, but $30/year ($2.5/m) for basic voice and minimal data is hard to beat. They have 20gb and unlimited plans for correspondingly more. I'm on a 1gb plan which is plenty for my own usage, which is to rely on wifi most of the time. I use mobile data if I need to look something up while out and about, rather than for youtube or anything like that.
