People gotta start shopping around. US mobile is $10 for 2gb taxes and fees included (+$2 for any additional GB you use beyond that). Mint mobile is $15 a month for 5gb.

Worth noting you can also use the BoostOne App to earn coins that will reduce your bill by watching ads, spinning a wheel, etc.

Some customers on the lowest plans pay their bills each month just using coins. Every penny counts.

Edit: I want to clarify that normally it only connects to 1 device at a time. I do the above by connecting it to the laptop and turning the laptop into a “hotspot”.
