Have I lost it or Does Verizon Seriously offer and UNLIMITED Prepaid HotSpot Plan that offers the same Data “Prioritization Rules” that its Unlimited Go plan offers

You can get a data only sim from Tmobile prepaid now for $10. The prices are lower across the board.

https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/plan-detail/mobile-internet

The Google Fi data sim is only as an add on if you already have a voice/text plan with them.

Metro now has a whole slew of data only plans too.

Att has no clue about this unlimited data plan for $35. Is this fake news?

Selectel Wireless does not seem to have Data Only plans anymore. At least I could not find one on their website.

Project Fi isn’t only on the T-Mobile network. It also uses the Sprint network (AND US Cellular’s network). It connects to whichever towers it wants from those three carriers when in the U.S. (The 3rd, 4th, & 5th largest?)

Charge Mobile Data is now $13/GB, with promotions for purchasing 3, 5, and 8+ GB.

Buy 3 = 0.5 GB free
Buy 5 = 1 GB free
Buy 8 or more = 2 GB free
