Best cell phone plan as internet

bleve · Feb 4, 2026 · 17 replies

We currently have a Verizon unlimited family plan with multiple lines split amongst family throughout the country. I'm interested in looking for a cheaper plan like Visible but the main thing that has me concerned is many family members use their cell phone as their only internet due to living in rural areas where broadband is not an option and something like Starlink is too expensive. Does anyone have first hand experience with the unlimited data plans from the second tier providers? Both for use on the phone and as a hot spot for using a computer for basic web browsing / emails / shopping, not gaming or video calls. We like to travel to remote areas in the US so coverage is important which is why we chose Verizon a long time ago and we have been mostly satisfied with the coverage. Thanks.
