Heard that North American (especially US) mobile plans are stupid expensive compared to lots of the rest of the world.<br/>I currently have 2 SIM only plans on the same account an unlimited (including tethering) data,call and text @ £18 gbp per month. I have that in a 4g router as my home internet. My other SIM is in my phone 8gb Data, Unlimited calls and text @ £6.30 gbp per month. Both prices include a 10% discount because the account has more than 1 SIM. 2024-08-03T21:23:51Z
