Ask Lemmy

US, $42/year, eSIM with keepgo for 10GB of data that never expires. That's about all I use per year, often less.

Switzerland, equivalent of approx. US$ 16. unlimited 5G data, calls and SMS in Switzerland. 3GB data roaming in EU.

i buy limited data plans that i have to call something like 5556466345666782117909# ,usually 8€ in Estonia

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.

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

£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

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

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.

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)

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

Germany, 7€/month, 7GB, sms + phone flat

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.

$15 a month, but you have to pay in chunks of 3 months at a time, so $45 every 3 months. Mint mobile, US.

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.

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.

7EUR for 8GB of internet.

France, 19.99€, unlimited data + calls + text, 35 GB/mo roaming in all of Europe and other countries

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

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.

UK, smarty, £8 per month unlimited texts and calls, 60Gb data per month.tethering included

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.

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

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

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.

US, $9/mo + $2/GB

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, 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.

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.

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.

~$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.

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.

The Netherlands.

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

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

I really need to get on Fello...

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.

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.

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
