Unlimited Data Contract Deals

Unlimited data contract deals are available from a wide range of carriers, with various perks, data caps, and price points to suit different needs and budgets. Here’s a breakdown of some of the best options currently available:

Best Value Unlimited Plans:
- Boost Mobile: Offers an unlimited data plan at $25/month with a lifetime rate guarantee (as long as you stay with the carrier). You get 30GB high-speed data per month before speeds are reduced. Current promotions may cut the rate further for the first three months^[5].
- Mint Mobile: Annual unlimited plans start around $30/month (with a soft cap at 35GB high-speed data). If you pay a year upfront, the price may drop even further. This plan is especially budget-friendly for single lines^[6].
- Tello and Visible: Also offer unlimited plans in the $25-$30/month range, with similar data “soft caps” before de-prioritization applies^[5].
Best Unlimited Plans from Major Carriers:
- Verizon Unlimited Plus / Ultimate: Features truly unlimited premium data (no soft caps or slowdowns), with hotspot data and fast 5G access. Pricing starts at $90/month for a single line but drops with additional lines^[3]^[7].
- T-Mobile Go5G Plus / Experience More: Known for robust perks, including premium international features and extensive hotspot allowances^[3]^[7].

- Metro by T-Mobile: Offers unlimited plans under $40/month, though perks and high-speed data caps may differ from postpaid options^[5].
Specialty & Custom Plans:
- US Mobile: Highly customizable plans with a spectrum of unlimited options; their premium plan gives unlimited priority data on 5G Ultra Wideband, 200GB hotspot, and international perks at $44/month^[4]^[1].

Key considerations for choosing an unlimited data contract:

High-speed data limits: Most “unlimited” plans slow your data after 30–70GB of usage, unless you opt for premium tiers with no slowdowns^[5]^[7].
Hotspot allocation: Some plans include a set amount of high-speed hotspot data; others may offer unlimited but throttled hotspot use^[4]^[5].
Perks: International roaming, streaming service subscriptions, cloud storage, and price guarantees can add significant value to certain plans^[3]^[5].
Network coverage: Your experience will depend on how well the carrier covers your area. Major carriers offer the best coverage and speeds^[7].
Family/multi-line savings: Most major carriers reduce monthly rates substantially as you add lines on the same plan^[3].
