Slovakia, 300GB for 13 EUR/month, no texts and calls included. Those are 5 cents I think.
The carrier has an agreement with another one for coverage extension, but with official FUP of 20GB in that network.
This carrier however disregards that and instead allows up to 80GB, but for a few months after enabling 4G from that other carrier the FUP wasn't applied at all.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

It operates on that other network like MVNO, and if your phone decides to stick there, which people report happens a lot, say hello to far lower FUP instead. The carrier's own network is also generally far slower.
I also found a little network issue (tested with 2 phones) where receiving calls are broken in a fairly specific scenario, but I don't know how to report that. To keep it short, if VoLTE isn't available, when switching from 2 of the 4G bands to one of the 2G bands, the call fails to connect after several long seconds of silence on caller end, and no notification of failed call attempt is sent.

I can work around both issues by selecting specific bands as needed manually, but that generally requires root and use of app like Network Signal Guru (inconvenient).
This allows me to decide whether I want more data amount, faster network speed, better outgoing call coverage, or higher chance of receiving a call. Yeah... their network sucks.

I also believe they break the EU roam like at home regulation:

Most plans only have half the data amount it seems they should have, but maybe I just calculated that wrong.
But this plan I have has... ZERO data for EU roaming.

2 x (price of mobile bundle excluding VAT / regulated maximum wholesale cap per GB) = data limit (in GB) when roaming

Hmmm... how does that give a zero.

25€ a month, unlimited 200MBps internet, calls and texts. Includes roaming in the whole EU.

[–] devtoi@feddit.nu 3 points 2 months ago

Cheapest I could find in Sweden. Around 10€. I think it is 3GB data and unlimited calls and texts. Whatever data I don't use stacks up for a year or somesuch. I have WiFi at home and the office so I don't really need much data. I would go for a cheaper plan if it existed.

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

American. Tello. $15 for 5GB. T-Mobile network.

I barely stream unless it's transcoded by Spotify or Jellyfin and mostly use my data for browsing. I rarely ever hit my limit. Cheap and works for me.

About 10 euro for 12GB

[–] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago

Finland.

19€/month for unlimited everything.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

USA, Verizon, $125/mo for one cellphone with unlimited data and one tablet with unlimited data. It includes Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu. I also pay monthly for accidental damage protection.

I had to go with an expensive plan because there's no Wifi at my job site and my data kept getting deprioritized on other companies. So I pay a premium to be able to watch YouTube while I work.

[–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm in same boat and fuckin hate it. I want to test out other providers who piggyback on Verizon network because other providers don't have good enough coverage where I am.

I'm on Google Fi in the US. $50/mo for 3 lines with unlimited calling/texting, and $10/GB of data, with charges capping at 12 GB (data isn't limited to 12 GB, they just stop charging you after 12 GB; this threshold depends on the number of lines on the account - more lines results in a higher pricing cap). I'm on wifi 99.99% of the time so it's generally pretty rare that I use more than a single GB across all 3 lines.

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

110SEK (~10€)/month, 8gb of internet, unlimited calls & SMS on a student plan in Sweden. 5-40mbit speed down. EU roaming included.

[–] Daviedavo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

USA - AT&T Prepaid. $40 per month. Unlimited talk and text in/to the US, Mexico and Canada. “Unlimited” data BUT after 15GB 5G data, speed is reduced to 3G(?) speeds so email, messaging and other apps using light data still work OK but browsing is verrrrry slow - forget about streaming at that point (it also includes roll-over of unused data from previous month). I don’t usually go over the 15GB though due to wi-fi available most places I am usually at.

Australia.

Amaysim, $10 a year.

calls 10c a min. text 5c. 1 GB of internet.

I just have it for calls coming in.

Otherwise you pay $10 a month but you get unlimited calls and text and I think a few GB of internet.

[–] JohnyRocket@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

Switzerland: Just upgraded my plan to 18.90CHF (21.45usd) for unlimited 5G (1700mbps), calls and text in Switzerland and 20GB, 100 minutes and texts in EU and UK. I haven't switched my number yet so I'll have to see what coverage is like, but it will likely be very good cause switzerland.

[–] randombullet@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Germany

€39.95

80gb

I think all German numbers talk is included. But texting and external calls still costs additional money.

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago
  • 5€/month for unlimited voice, text, net (romania) - I don't use this, since i moved away, but i've had this number since '99...
  • 35€/month for 25gb net, unlimited voice, text (germany) - it's a bit more expensive since it includes a phone as well (i got the pixel 8 when it came out).
  • 15-20€/month for 5-15gb and unlimited voice/text for my kids, also with phones (pixel 6a)
  • 45€/month for home Internet - 1000 down / 200 up (cable), unlimited + landline (which is not connected/in use.
[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Three lines unlimited data calling and text included 70$/month. The business I opened my phone plan with has a policy of never raising rates ever. Ive been on the same plan close to a decade. It would be double if I opened a account today.

[–] brlemworld@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

US $20/mo with mint mobile 15gb data cap. Unlimited talk/txt. Sometimes I get 200mbps but it's usually like 20mbps. I don't think I've gone over 10gb. I work from home and usually use fiber Internet there - $60/mo for 300mbps up/down

[–] Coconut1233@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Czechia, unlimited calls, texts and data. Data speed capped at 10mbit/s (1.25 MB) for 500 CZK/month (~20€). Unlimited data speed is about twice the price. Vodafone

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

9€/month, 100Go (5G), unlimited call and SMS. France.

[–] enshu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Netherlands - Odido 25€/month Unlimited data, calls and texts in the Netherlands. 45 GB of data and 120 minutes/month of calls in EU.

[–] camelbeard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I also have odido and pay 16, unlimited calls (I think also text), 25GB of data. I think it was 20GB, but we get 5GB extra because my wife also has odido. 25GB is more than enough for my use, I used 12GB max in the last 12 months.

[–] SethranKada@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

35GB, $46.78, Canada - Saskatchewan I get unlimited textand calls, 5G networking, Caller display, and voicemail.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

9,99€ per month unlimited calls and messages and 140GB data. 50GB for EU roaming.

[–] ____@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago

$25 a month, US, MVNO on Verizon network.

Had to bring my own phone, which is in bad shape and I’ll have to replace eventually, but I basically don’t think about my service at all.

That MVNO also has a program to heavily discount service for up to three months due to loss of job or temp disability, because, yknow, you need a phone number to look for a job.

That discount was damn nice when I had a couple of surgeries this year.

[–] NeoToasty@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 2 months ago

$6 currently with MyTello. It's a 2GB data plan and I think maybe 300 minutes if I'm not mistaken. $10 if I decide to make it 2GB data and unlimited text/minutes.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

US Mint Mobile $30/mo unlimited data, texts, calls. One of the best unlimited rates in the US. I use north of 12GB/mo so no limited plan is going to cut it for me.

$25 per year, 100GiB per month, Malaysia but it works in Singapore, texts and calls cost per minute... But I never use them.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago

Wow. That's cheap.

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

American here, we're on an AT&T family plan at $50 USD/month for each line. Yeah, it's expensive, but you get a lot for that price; unlimited talk, unlimited texts, and unlimited data (with no throttling); there's no roaming anywhere in Mexico, Canada, or the United States and no charges for calling international between those three countries (and I think that might also include the Bahamas, but I could be mistaken). We also get a 60 GB hotspot per line per month, but that part might be inside the US only, I've never used it during trips to Mexico or Canada.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Similar here with Verizon: $48/line unlimited everything, no cap. However no mmWave (they want to charge extra), and data is throttled in Canada and Mexico

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

USA, Visible Wireless $30 per month unlimited everything.

[–] vin@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 months ago

₹719 for 1 GB/Day + Unlimited Calls + 100 SMS/Day valid for 72 Days. Post daily quota, data speed will be upto 64Kbps. About 3.4 eur per month.

[–] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Unlimited data, calling, text. $60 including tax with google fi. United States

USA, I've been using a $2.50/month plan from Red Pocket, but this thread reminded me that I need to renew for the coming year, and it appears the price has gone up to $3.75/month now. If that's really the case, I'm not exactly pleased about that.

It's just a bare bones plan with 200 minutes, 1000 texts, and 200MB of data. But I'm usually at home on Wi-Fi and I just use a Google voice number so I never really eat into the minutes or texts. I pretty much only use the data for emergencies like if I'm out driving somewhere and I wasn't able to plan and look up maps ahead of time.
