Analysis
Real Mobile's new and updated phone plans are nothing out of the ordinary except for the AT&T based $20 unlimited talk and text plan with 200 MB of 4G LTE data. At that price point it is the cheapest AT&T based plan to feature unlimited talk and text with at least 200 MB of 4G LTE data. However those willing to pay for 3 months of service in advance and don't mind using VoIP for talk may find FreedomPop's GSM plan to be of better value as 2 GB of data is included at a price of $19.99/month. Other AT&T based options at that price point include EasyGO, Airvoice, Red Pocket, and Black Wireless who all offer unlimited talk and text plans with 100 MB of data and international calling and/or texting. TracFone is another option with a plan that features 200 minutes, 1000 texts and 1 GB of data.
