Last month, Black Wireless came out with a terrific offer giving new subscribers an unlimited everything plan with 50GB of high-speed data for $16.67/month.  That deal has now been retired, and Black Wireless has completely updated its phone plan lineup with an even bigger emphasis on its multi-month plan offerings.  Black Wireless has been offering multi-month plans since at least January of 2018.

Black Wireless does offer a couple of other plans, but the MVNO doesn't seem to be putting much emphasis on them.  The other plans are as follows:

Data Plus Plan

Includes 200 domestic and international minutes with unlimited texting. Includes unlimited data with the first 500MB at high-speeds. Update - Black Wireless tells me this plan does not come with 200 domestic and international minutes with unlimited texting, but rather 200 service units that can be divided up for use with texting and voice.

  • By the month - $15
  • 6 months - $12/month, $72 due upfront
  • 12 months - $11.25/month, $135 due upfront

Smart Saver Plan

Includes 500 domestic and international minutes with unlimited texting. Includes 100MB of hard-capped data. Update - Black Wireless tells me this plan does not come with 500 domestic and international minutes with unlimited texting, but rather 500 service units that can be divided up for use with texting and voice.

  • By the month - $10
  • 6 months - $8/month, $48 due upfront
  • 12 months - $7.5/month, $90 due upfront
