Top Offers and Plans for 4G Smartphones

Choosing the best 4G phone plans can be overwhelming. Besides cost considerations, it's important to review which models are compatible with different carriers, along with coverage and download speeds in your frequently visited areas.

Carriers provide a variety of tiered plans, which can complicate decision-making. Below, we compare popular plans from leading providers to help you find the best fit for your needs.

If unlimited data is a priority without overspending, Republic Wireless offers an affordable plan at less than $30 per month.

Alternatively, Verizon’s individual plan around $55/month provides 5GB of data, which is suitable for moderate users. AT&T’s 8GB prepaid plan is also a practical option, especially if you prefer prepay. For unlimited data users, MetroPCS offers excellent prepaid options.

Some standout 4G smartphone plans include:

Unlimited personal plans
Major providers feature various unlimited plans. T-Mobile’s $70 plan combines good performance with value. Sprint’s basic diverse plan is more affordable but offers slower speeds. AT&T and Verizon’s unlimited options have certain restrictions but are reliable.

Standard individual plans
If unlimited data isn’t necessary, Verizon’s $55 plan delivers a fair amount of data at a reasonable price, with roll-over options for unused data. To avoid overage fees, Activation of Verizon Safe Mode is recommended.

Prepaid individual plans
AT&T’s $50 plan includes 8GB of data and can be reduced to $40 with auto-pay. It supports HD streaming on 4G smartphones, along with unlimited calls and texts to Canada and Mexico.

If a plan aligns with your needs, consider switching only if it won’t cause major issues. Some carriers offer partial coverage of early termination fees or trade-in deals with gift cards when upgrading phones.
