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
I don't pay myself, but it's about 7€ I think. Portugal.
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.
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.
35CHF for unlimited 5G, text and calls in Switzerland and Europe. 39CHF for 10GB fibre at home.
66.58 CHF (80.51 USD) for Unlimited everything in Switzerland. Internet is another 66.58 CHF a month.
Germany - 20€/month, 100GB of 5G data in Germany and all of Europe, unlimited calls and texts, roaming to Switzerland is not included though
£7 for 30gb of data, EU roaming and all the calls + texts I want.
€10 per year or something. Ancient deal without internet that is impossible to beat price wise.
I have a dual sim phone and work gave me a sim card and I'm using their internet when I have to.
7EUR for 8GB of internet.
Portugal, €5/month, 100GB of data connection, 5000 call minutes. I'm supposed to pay one cent per sms but I have yet to be charged.
Switzerland, 30.50 chf a month for unlimited calls sms and data in Switzerland and 40gb a month of roaming in Europe (but with a huge discount: regular price for this would be more than double)
How? Show me your ways...
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...
£1 monthly. Unlimited data/SMS/voice. It's a trial offer of 6-8 months but with a little juggling you can keep the trail much longer. I've had mine for about 4 years now
Where did you get this??
:O
Canada. $39.55 CAD per month (approximately 25€). Plan includes unlimited calling and text in Canada, US and Mexico, 75GB of data at 5G. Also includes roaming to over 100 countries, but limited to 10GB of data. Calling and texts are unlimited in the country where you roam. So for example, if you’re in Italy, it doesn’t cost anything to call or text Italian numbers, but if you were to call or text Japan, there would be a charge.
Hey fellow Canadian. I pay about the same. Looking at these other responses, I think we're getting screwed.
I pay $27.12 (taxes in) for more data than I need per month (~12GB). Grandfathered Freedom Mobile plan.
Legit. I had another plan with Rogers for over a year which was 75GB at 5G, Canada/US, and that was $25 CAD a month. Once the temp discounts ended, it was up to $35, and I had some travel planned, at which point i just hopped on the Freedom Roam Beyond plan. But yeah, we are definitely getting screwed haha.

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.
US $10 but I could be paying $8 if I did prepay. MVNO. Unlimited text and talk, 2gb data.
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.
US, $25/month through Visible for unlimited call, text, and data
$15 a month, but you have to pay in chunks of 3 months at a time, so $45 every 3 months. Mint mobile, US.
But what do you get for that money?
US, $9/mo + $2/GB
Which service is this?
US mobile. It’s great, I use their Verizon one (warp) but they have ATT and T-Mobile.
Germany, 7€/month, 7GB, sms + phone flat
UK, smarty, £8 per month unlimited texts and calls, 60Gb data per month.tethering included
LOL I pay about the same as you in Canada and get 256 mb ;-;
atlstihvachppln
In the US, I pay 23 dollars per month for 2 lines sharing 5 gigabytes of 5g data, unlimited talk and text through U.S. Mobile.
It's plenty because we are on WiFi most of the time.
Australia, boost mobile yearly prepaid plan. 365GB for 365 days costing $365 AUD ($200 EUR, $220 USD). So $1 a day. Unlimited local calls, no overseas calls or roaming.
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'm paying €10,50 / month for unlimited calling / 500 texts / 18 GB of data. Thats is with Simpel in the Netherlands.
Texting is not relevant here since everyone uses WhatsApp (and more recently Signal), and I've never actually used more then 18GB of data in a month.
France, 19.99€, unlimited data + calls + text, 35 GB/mo roaming in all of Europe and other countries
Same plan but 10€ since I'm also a fiber subscriber.
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.
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.
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.
The Netherlands.
6€. Sim only. Unlimited calls and sms, 6GB 4G, later this year 5G.
