Ask Lemmy

The Netherlands.

6€. Sim only. Unlimited calls and sms, 6GB 4G, later this year 5G.

I use services that sell my data so that I get free cellular service. One I use is 250mb free, the other is 3GB + calls free

USA, $17.50/month prepaid for a year: US Mobile Starter Unlimited (or whatever the lowest tier is called) gives 10 GB of high-speed data and then infinite 1 Mbps, which is faster than any other throttled speed (apart from Visible, but that's also costlier). I have a referral link for it that rewards both the referrer and referred.

Oh, and it gives infinite minutes and texts across all of North America, I think (Canada + Mexico), as well as access to all the major satellite networks, so if you don't like your AT&T service, you can order a SIM to try T-Mobile's, etc., all while still on the same US Mobile plan; they advertise themselves as a "supercarrier" accordingly.

US, $25/month through Visible for unlimited call, text, and data

US, $9/mo + $2/GB

Ireland, 20 euro for a month of unlimited data, no throttling (that I've noticed), unlimited calls and texts in Ireland and enough EU ones that I don't worry about it.

US, Xfinity Mobile,$60 for 2 lines, unlimited talk, text and 5g data but you do have to have another Xfinity service to be able to buy their mobile.

~$12 CAD. Barely any data (I think 256 mb?), but unlimited call and text. I never really use data unless I'm in a new place, and even then I rarely use more than that.

35CHF for unlimited 5G, text and calls in Switzerland and Europe. 39CHF for 10GB fibre at home.

Nothing - my employer pays for it - but if I was paying myself it would be $85NZD/month for 150GB 5G data, unlimited text and calling to NZ and Australia

Italy, 10.99€ a month, 160 gigs 5G, 100 texts, unlimited minutes

US, $8 a month, prepaid, 100 MB, 100min/text

Cambodia. I pay $6 a month for 50gb data. This is 4g service. Only thing we have now but it's rock solid service and gossip about 5g has been around awhile. We have three providers here. Each charge about the same.

Aus, I have 2. $30/m for 15gb and then unlimited at 1.5mbps, but bad signal. $70/m for 180gb then unlimited at 1.5mbps but I can't actually use that much due to bad signal even if it isn't as bad as the other one.

Germany - 20€/month, 100GB of 5G data in Germany and all of Europe, unlimited calls and texts, roaming to Switzerland is not included though

7EUR for 8GB of internet.

US, about $45/month for Google Fi. Switched to it years ago because it was unlimited in all of North America, but it looks like maybe I should do some research on another carrier

My employer pays for mine, so free.

Before that was $20/month for unlimited everything with tethering in the US.

$17/month with Tello in the US. Unlimited calls and texts and 10gb data. It’s reliable and I never hit the 10gb limit.

United States. $106/month for 3 lines of unlimited data

I usually buy an e-sim when I'm traveling and you can get usually get 10-20$/mo unlimited data at reasonable speeds everywhere in Asia except China which is an entire different world of its own and really not worth the hassle so you take what you can get.

One exception is Thailand where I buy 1 year prepaid sim for 40$ unlimited 100mbps which you can keep extending year after year for almost the same price.

All of these prices are irrelevant without considering local salaries but cellular data is really good in Asia. I've seen cell towers deep in Vietnams jungles and was actually texting from a cave there. This is why low orbit networks like starlink are severely overrated and will always lose to cell towers.

UK, £10/mo 120G data, all you can eat voice/SMS (was an offer on smarty)

Japan.

¥968/month (around $6 USD) for up to 3GB with free calls.
If I use more, the price changes automatically — ¥2,068 for 3–20GB, and ¥3,168 if I go over 20GB.

I don't pay myself, but it's about 7€ I think. Portugal.

20€/month, Germany, started the plan half a year ago, will be over in one and a half. Unlimited SMS/calls, 35GB (at least, maybe even more, I don't use nearly as much) data. Got a (carrier unlocked, because we're not in the US) Pixel 8 Pro with it.

US. About $35/ month

Text calling, and unlimited data

66.58 CHF (80.51 USD) for Unlimited everything in Switzerland. Internet is another 66.58 CHF a month.

Net is £2 a month for 6gb data and unlimited calls and texts from O2, although I never use those really. It should be £6 a month, but I get £4 discounted as two streaming services I would buy anyway I buy via them so I get a discount for each.

Most places I use my phone I have WiFi, data is only really used for background services and maps otherwise. You can purchase data add ons from them for reasonable fees for a month if I ever did need it for travel. Although I am more likely to get a local sim as it's far far cheaper than roaming outside the EU normally.

The main reason I use O2 is that it also doubles my home broadband speed for free to 1gb up and down. That means having their phone line actually costs me -£6 a month.

I am looking to move my partners phone over later this year to O2 and thst should double the speed to 2gb up and down for the same price.

Sweden. I pay 150 SEK (~16 USD) for 8GB/month.

Unused data is transferred over to the next month, so running out of data has never been a problem for me.

Sweden, I am on Telia, on a highly expensive unlimited plan at 580SEK/month....

I really need to get on Fello...
