Carrier How much is your monthly iPhone bill?

[apolloa]

I’ve just dropped Tesco Mobile, because I got fed up with O2’s signal as I could have full 4G and not be able to browse the web.
I’m now with Smarty, unlimited text and calls, 8GB 4G data for £15 a month and no contract SIM only. Plus at the end of every month they actually buy back any unused data you have in your plan. It’s working well so far.

£6-£7 per month for 25GB of 4G data and unlimited call/texts

Should be £20 per month but my carrier keeps applying discounts on top of discounts!!

Let’s just say I’m keeping quiet until they notice!!

We pay 900 Baht (about US$30) for a shared plan. That includes up to five numbers. 20GB of 4G data and 500 minutes of phone calls. I think SMS is extra. We've never reached the maximum on either data or calls. We have three users. None of us use SMS, so I don't know how much it costs, but I think it's one baht per message. The carrier is DTAC.

Before taxes, ours is $145, so it would be about $36/person. All of our phones were bought outright or were paid off. If we upgraded 3 of the lines to the base SE, that would add about $50/month to the total. Still, $200ish for 4 lines and a decent amount of data isn't bad on a family plan.

I thought I'd revisit it since it's been a few years and fun to look back on how much has changed in such a short time. Currently, we're doing 4/$100 Unlimited on Cricket, which was a pretty painless change from AT&T (between my old post and now we did briefly have the 5GB plan and I dabbled with T-Mobile's prepaid service for my own line).

• Who your carrier is: Cricket
• How many lines you have: 4
• Your minutes/texts/data allotment: Unlimited, 3 Mbps data throttle (decent latency so it doesn't feel bad outside of trying to do app updates over the air)
• What other features are included: Mexico and Canada roaming
• What promotions/discounts you receive: I sometimes buy refill cards on sale at Target/Meijer, so we pay even less...I think maybe I'm averaging about $85-$90/month
• What your TOTAL monthly bill is: $100/month

This thread is fun, but I think the one thing to consider is total bill versus price per line (i.e. an individual may pay $50/month, but our lines end up as $25/month each if you split it).

Phone plans vary with promos, number of phones on plan, GB of data etc etc etc.
Hard to make a comparison without all the facts

I pay about $80 Canadian for unlimited texting, calling and 12GB of data including taxes. I paid $800 up front for my iPhone X on a two year contract (the cost of the 256GB iPhone X was $1529 in Canada when it was released so the other $729 was baked into the monthly cost of the plan.) I would be paying $160 a month for all of it with taxes but I have a 50% discount for working at an official retailer. Prices is Canada have gotten a tiny bit better since than but not hugely

 

[tboyd37]

$161 on Verizon on the go unlimited plan with one iPhone one cellular Apple Watch and tec coverage on both lines

 

[pika2000]

My postpaid family plan: ~$10 USD per month per person for 10GB of data and unlimited calling amongst members of the family plan. No contract whatsoever.

 

[Lyrca]

Unlimited calls and texts + 50Gb data within Europe for 10€/month. (About $12).

I'd say I have good deal!

 

[prss14]

$40

AT&T prepaid (no speed caps)

unlimited talk, text, and 8GB of Data that I can use how I want (tether for example).


edit: Looking through these post, I am clearly seeing speeds caps are the new data caps. All of these "cheap" unlimited plans with speeds caps of 1.5 or 3 mbps which often times are below 1mbps.

If you don't mind me asking, and I know taxes vary by location, what the cost for you is after taxes?

thanks

I have an iPhone SE and am in the UK. My wife also has an iPhone and we are both with Tesco Mobile. I pay £14 per month (that is for us both) and we each get:

• 1000MB data
• 500 minutes
• 5000 texts

We never go over that and what I like is that we can cap our bills so we don't get any nasty surprises! Service has been excellent. Can't complain.

Seems too expensive.

In India for £17 per year you get:

Unlimited calls and texts.

1.5 GB LTE data per day x 360 days. Total up to 540 GB per year.
[doublepost=1558544607][/doublepost]If you want something fancy you could spend $8 for:

Unlimited calls and texts.

75 GB 4G data

For 1 month. Postpaid.

It sounds an excellent deal. For me the sticking point is availability of eSim, and this is why I have to pay €20 for unlimited calls & texts within Spain, 6 GB data and roaming within EU.

That's great, but I'm not in India. I'm in England and I think the deal I have got is very good. For the first six months of it it was only £3.75 per month. Of course, if there are any cheaper details anyone knows of, I'd love to know!

 

[brgjoe]

Probably better deals out there, but I have been with Sprint for years.

Yeah, it's not the best carrier. Yeah, their customer server sucks. Yeah, their coverage isn't as good as some others.

But it's $90/month including everything -- unlimited data, calls, texts, etc. And that includes all those bogus taxes too.

 

[BritishApple]

Sky Mobile (UK)

£37 per month - iPhone XR was free, no upfront cost.
10GB 4G with tethering.
Unlimited Calls (other UK mobiles and landlines).
Unlimited Texts.

When seeing what our American friends pay, all I can say is man, you guys get bumped.

Which is why everyone is providing all of the pertinent details and facts.

Yeah, I think the only improvement to this thread is that the voting should be the average per-line cost on your account (as a 4 or 5-line account will be more expensive than most single line accounts no matter what).

It makes no sense comparing the price of mobile plans between the UK and India. If you wanted to make such a comparison you would need to make an adjustment by taking into account additional factors.

Same with $ to £ or €.
