How it compares

  • At $18.47 a month, it costs less than 89% of the 111 plans we compare.
  • Of the 9 plans with similar data (2GB to 2.7GB a month), it's number 3 on price. They range from $16 to $29 a month.
  • That works out at $8.50 per GB, more than the typical plan ($5.65 per GB).
  • It renews every 28 days, so you'd pay 13 times a year: $221.61 in total.
  • Need more? Skinny's $22 Plan (3GB Rollover Data) gives 3GB/28 days for $5.43 more a month.
  • Need less? $13 Plan (1GB Rollover Data) has 1GB/28 days and saves $4.35 a month.

Who it suits

  • Light users: messaging, maps, a bit of social
  • Anyone who wants no bill, no credit check and the freedom to stop any time
  • People whose usage varies month to month, since unused data rolls over

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
