Unlimited plans at 10Mbps or faster count as more data than any allowance. Plans you pay a year upfront are only compared with each other, and no plan is compared with one that needs another service. Commissions never affect scores. How the SmartScore works

💡 Save money: Skinny $8 Plan (250MB Data) gives you 250MB/28 days for $8.69 a month. That’s $16 a year less than this plan.
