Spectrum Mobile Unlimited Plans

If you have Spectrum Internet service, you can take advantage of Spectrum Mobile’s low-cost unlimited data offerings. The upstart carrier offers two unlimited plans, the entry-level Unlimited ($30/month), and the mid-level Unlimited Plus ($40/month). Both include guaranteed premium data (30GB and 50GB respectively) and a modest amount of high-speed hotspot data. Spectrum Mobile runs on Verizon’s powerful national network, so you can rest easy knowing you’ll enjoy reliable 4G or 5G coverage almost anywhere you go in the United States. 

In this article, we’ll discuss our favorite Spectrum Mobile plan (Unlimited Plus), and tell you why the carrier’s lower-priced option, Unlimited, is worth considering as well. We’ll also give you the ins and outs of Spectrum Mobile’s coverage and perks.

Best Overall Spectrum Mobile Unlimited Plan

Our favorite Spectrum Mobile unlimited plan is Unlimited Plus. At just $40/month (taxes and fees included), it’s a great value, since it features a healthy 50GB monthly premium data allotment, coupled with 10GB of mobile hotspot data. While your primary data will be subject to deprioritization once you exceed 50GB, that’s an unlikely scenario unless you’re constantly streaming away from WiFi—50GB is a lot of data. 

Best Cheap Spectrum Mobile Unlimited Plan

Looking for a less expensive Spectrum Mobile unlimited plan? Your option will be the carrier’s Unlimited plan. It’s $10/month cheaper than Unlimited Plus, and features 30GB of premium data, along with 5GB of high-speed mobile hotspot data, to use each month. If you anticipate staying connected to WiFi a fair amount (which seems likely if you already have Spectrum Internet service), this plan offers a less expensive way to jump aboard Spectrum Mobile’s excellent network. 

Spectrum Mobile Unlimited Family Plans

Unlike the major carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T, and some smaller prepaid brands like Metro by T-Mobile and Cricket Wireless, Spectrum Mobile doesn’t offer multi-line plan discounts. So, if you plan on signing up your whole family with Spectrum Mobile, you should know that this won’t entitle you to any savings. However, the carrier’s plans are already so cheap that you’ll likely end up saving over the bigger brands anyway. 

Spectrum Mobile Perks

One way that Spectrum Mobile is able to price its plans so affordably is by keeping them relatively perk-free. Similar to many of its prepaid competitors, Spectrum Mobile’s plans lack streaming subscription add-ons and international data privileges. 

However, that’s not to say Spectrum Mobile’s offerings are totally lacking in features. Spectrum Mobile’s plans include free global texting to and from anywhere—a huge upside if you travel abroad frequently—as well as 2,000 minutes of calls to Mexico and Canada every month. 

Spectrum Mobile Coverage

Spectrum Mobile runs on Verizon’s national coverage network, giving you access to the same great 4G LTE and 5G coverage that customers of that brand enjoy. 

Verizon’s 4G coverage network ranks second in area covered behind AT&T, while its 5G network is two spots behind T-Mobile and AT&T. Where Verizon does have 5G coverage, you can expect super-fast speeds, as Verizon has focused the build-out of its 5G network on its super-fast 5G Ultra Wideband.
