Let’s do an international comparison of cellular plans!

Since I am often in the non-EU countries, I often missed that feature.

  • Country: Israel
  • Carrier: orange partner
  • Monthly cost: 17.5$ (65 shekel)
  • Data: 10gb
  • Calls: unlimited
  • Texts: 300 ( don’t use )
  • **Special feature(s): two more sims for ipads .

Formerly:
Vodacom South Africa
R250 or about AU $25 would buy me 4 GB data for a month.

Now:
Vodafone Australia
AU $35 gets me 30 GB data plus 500 minutes international calling.

From AU $6 per GB to under $1.

  • Country: USA
  • Carrier: Verizon
  • Plan cost: $57.40 (2 lines; I have a discount on my line from a previous employer that hasn’t been removed yet, somehow. The full plan cost is $70/month Her phone is owned outright and mine is on the Apple purchase plan)
  • Device Access: $30 ($15 per device)
  • Data: 6GB
  • Calls: Unlimited
  • Texts: Unlimited

The net bill after taxes, surcharges & fees is $100.62

I’ve been thinking about switching us to Ting, which will probably save us about $25/month unless my estimates of how many text messages we need are way off (Verizon doesn’t make historical text usage accessible as far as I can tell).

Country: USA
Carrier: Sprint
Monthly cost: $70 total (not counting taxes) $60 Phone, $10 added for iPad
Data: Unlimited data (possible throttling after 24GB but I’ve never had a problem)
Calls and texts: Unlimited
• 50GB tethering, I don’t even come close to using this. Nice to have for updating iOS and large app updates.

Used to have ATT but in my area Sprint is just as fast with excellent coverage and the plan costs are so much better.
