There are several multinational telecommunication companies in the United States; however each has different pans and prices for calls and internet. Those who think about switching to another provider should study all existing offers before making a decision.
Unlimited data plans are offered by Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T. However, companies change their plans from time to time and it is easy to lose track of the prices and offers on the market.
Newest changes and plans
Verizon changed its Verizon Unlimited plan and now the company offers two: Go Unlimited, 5 $ cheaper than the first unlimited plan and Beyond Unlimited, which is 5$ dollars more expensive.
T-Mobile’s Plus plan offers the higher amount of GB, 32GB and the offers have not changed much lately.
Sprint offers up to 1080p video and AT&T offers two plans: Choice and Plus.
AT&T has joined hands with DirectTV and the deals are good in terms of price and what they offer.
Before making a decision, it is important to take into consideration several factors: price, data, hotspot, video quality, Canada and Mexico Roaming and additional bonuses.
- PRICE: this is perhaps the most important to consider when deciding on your provider.
Verizon has two unlimited plans: Go Unlimited for 75$ for 1 line, 65$ for 2 lines and 40$ for 4 lines; the Beyond Unlimited plan can be yours for 85$ for 1 line, 80$ for 2 lines and 50$ for 4 lines.
AT&T has two plans as well: Unlimited Choice for 60$ for 1 line, 115 $ for 2 lines and 20$ for 3-10 lines; and Unlimited Plus: 90$ for 1 line, 145$ for 2 lines and 20$ for 3-10 lines.
Verizon and AT&T do not have taxes included
T-Mobile has two options as well: T-Mobile One with 70$ for 1 line, 100$ for 2 lines and 20$ for 3-10 lines; and T-Mobile One Plus which also offer 10$/line/mo.
Sprint offers two unlimited plans: Unlimited Freedom Promo: 50$ for 1 line, 90$ for 2 lines and no additional cost for 3-5 lines; and Unlimited Freedom with 60$ for 1 line, 100$ for 2 lines and 30$ for 3-4 lines.

Sprint does not include taxes and fees
And the T-Mobile is 50GB not 32GB
In reality Sprint only offers 1 unlimited plan it just is different pricing until the promotion ends.
Sprint does not require autopay however it is $5/line/month discount applies if you choose autopay
How come T-Mobile you write network management but the others you write throttle. Two completely different things in essence. However for all 4, it is network management, not throttling.
