That's really interesting! Is it because you don't really use your phone much and/or connected to wifi? I remember how expensive phone bills used to be back when you paid per min and text, it's really hard to imagine that being an economical daily choice for many. Sounds fantastic for someone who does a lot of international travel or for long times
I use my phone a lot actually.
$40 a month is unlimited talk and text to and in USA, Canada, and Mexico. 30GB data at 5G speeds with unlimited at 1.5Mps after the 30GB is exhausted. That applies to hotspot usage too when you bring your own phone. It even includes 5GB of data when roaming in Canada or Mexico.
I remember that too! Those days are long long ago. Prepaid isn't "pay per min" like it was back in the late 90s or early 2000s. I think the reason people don't look at them is because they used to be that way. Its been unlimited plans available for more than a decade. I really don't see the point of post-paid unless you can't afford to buy your phone outright and need to spread the cost over months of service which postpaid will do for you.
Thank you so much!! That's crazy I'm going to keep this information in my back pocket for future reference! I know people it could be beneficial for
