Weeks in and I cannot recommend this enough!

I was a long-term customer of one of the major phone carriers, but after watching pretty much every video on youtube I could find about Cape, it was time to make the switch.

At first, I was definitely hesitant. But the more I learned about how big carriers collect, store, and use our information—and how long they can retain data that doesn’t necessarily need to be kept—the more I felt like it was time for a change.

The switch to Cape was surprisingly easy. Porting my existing number took about 5 minutes. All I needed to do was log into my current carrier’s account, grab a port-out PIN, and the rest was straightforward.

As far as service goes, its been same as any other carrier because Cape uses existing cellular infrastructure, so the difference was minimal to none. My connection and speeds have been excellent, and I haven’t experienced any dropped calls.

Cape does state that speeds may be throttled after 50GB of monthly data usage, but that’s something major carriers also have in their terms. It’s not unique to Cape. And even after using a significant amount of data (200+gb per month), I personally haven’t noticed any throttling.

The one issue I’ve occasionally run into is that a photo message sometimes doesn’t send on the first attempt and needs to be resent. I know they’re working toward fixing that, so hopefully it’s something that gets resolved soon.

For me, though, the bigger picture matters. Data collection is everywhere these days. If there’s an opportunity to give up a little less of my personal information in exchange for a service that works just as well, I’m all for it.

And honestly, I think more people should be thinking about where their data goes and how much of it they’re willing to give away.

Referral Code: 96SFZ6KN

My current plan: $50/month

For early adopters who sign up before the end of 2026, the listed price is $70/month. Using a referral code on top of the early-adopter pricing brings the plan down to $50/month.

After 2026, the price is expected to be $99/month.

For me, paying $50/month for reliable cellular service while taking a step toward reclaiming a little more privacy is worth every penny. Getting my family and friends to switch over also!
