More people than ever have been working at home and I said working. Yes, thank you, so I figured now would be a good time to cover the best hot spot plans. These plans are great for people living in areas with poor internet speeds or plans. If your home internet goes out or if you just need some extracellular data to get work done at home or on the go. There are three main types of plans to consider here. The first are cell phone plans that support the mobile hotspot.
These can include either dedicated amounts of hotspot data, or they can simply support the hotspot feature for the included amount of data with the plan. These second kind of plans are hotspot, specific plans. These are designed to work in hotspot devices like the Nighthawk m1 that essentially turn your cellular data connection into a Wi-Fi bubble that your other devices can connect to, and the third kind of plans are dedicated tablet plans. These are designed specifically to work in tablets. Often they don't support the hotspot feature, so cellular data will be limited to the tablet itself.
These would be ideal if you have a tablet capable of doing your work, possibly like an iPad Pro Galaxy Tab, s6 or something like that. First, let's start off with the cell phone plans that include hotspot data now I will say. Sometimes it is possible to get these plans to work in hotspot devices. However, I can't guarantee they will work, and often you do need to configure custom APN settings still. These plans are going to be great for turning your smartphone into a hotspot and sharing your cellular data with your other devices.
So, let's jump into it. First I want to start off with u. s. mobile and Tell. These carriers are great because they offer a lot of customized ability and flexibility, and they offer affordable rates for slightly lower amounts of data.
U. S. mobile uses either the Verizon or T-Mobile network for coverage, and you can build your own plan to meet your needs. What's great, is you don't need talk or text, so you can literally just select a data option. The rates are affordable, and again you're, getting either T-Mobile or varieties coverage.
Tells is the same kind of thing. You can customize your plan to meet your needs. You don't need minutes or texts, so you can just opt for cellular data and tell oh actually has a promotion right now where they are offering two times the data to help out with everything going on so now, it's honestly a great time to try them out and see how these sprint network is in your area, because tell does use sprint for coverage. Okay, so those were some cool, lighter user plans. Let's move on to some heavier data usage plans.
First up on the Verizon network, we have visible, is one of my favorite options here, because they include true on limited hotspot data on their website. They do say: hotspot speeds are capped at five megabits per second, and you are limited to connecting only one device. At a time, however, from my testing I found, I was actually able to connect more than one device at a time and, as you can see, the five megabit per second speed cap wasn't actually impacting my performance so for $40 a month or $25 a month. If you join a visible party, visible, is a great option for giving you true, unlimited hotspot data on your phone, the only downside with visible is they are prioritized on the Verizon network. So if the Verizon network is congested in your area, or you have a lot of people using it, then your speeds may slow down on the AT&T network.
I'm recommending pure talk USA there $55 plan includes 22 gigabytes of data, and you can use all of this as hotspot data. Now, on the peer talk website, you will see this listed as unlimited, but as I found out from chatting with support, it is only a twenty-two gig plans and if you remember from my previous videos, pure talk actually didn't support hotspot group and picture messaging or visual voicemail on the newer iPhones until April 2020. Well now lucky for you, it is April and according to their support, those features are now officially working on the newer iPhones. The other plan I found on AT&T was read: pockets $60, unlimited plan. Now this does include true unlimited data and unlimited hotspot data.
However, if you dive into there of service, they say, if you use more than one gig of data per day, then your speeds may slow down. So with this information, you can try red pocket at your own risk, and they could be great if you use maybe 800 megabytes of data per day, but otherwise I think pure talk. USA is the better option here and if you want priority post pay data on the AT&T network, you could consider winged, but you will only get 15 gigs of hotspot data here and the only 30 gigs total, because they do have that new 30 gig caps in place on the Sprint network I'm recommending even mobile, then Mobile is a new carrier introduced by the same folks running Celtic. So you get unlimited data for just $30 a month, and this plan includes 50 gigs of hotspot data. This is honestly straight-up.
One of the best deals out there right now and unlike tel t'k, it does not look like you need to be a business in order to get this plan. So this is a pretty great deal. I haven't tried them yet, but this is definitely a plan I'm interested in and finally on the T-Mobile network. Ultra mobile has what they call an unlimited plan for $49 per month, but for my research it is actually a 50 gig plan. However, that said it does include hotspot, so for basically $49 per month, you can get 50 gigs of hotspot data.
Now these plans are all prepaid and many Rd prioritized over post paid users. So if you are looking for more priority hotspot data, then these are the best options from the major providers. Verizon $90 a month gets you 30, gigs of hotspot data on their most premium plan. AT&T can also get you 30 gigabytes. However, with their business plan, you can actually get a hundred gigabytes of hotspot data.
So if you're a business or know someone part of a business, that's going to be a really great option. First, sprint. Their unlimited premium plan includes 100 gigabytes of hotspot data and unfortunately on T-Mobile. Their plan only includes 20 gigabytes of hotspot data and honestly T-Mobile isn't worth it here, because you can literally get the same plan on wing for $30 less per month. I'm signed up for this plan now, and I can confirm they are providing T-Mobile business plans.
So those are the best hotspot plans available for smartphones. Let's actually bring back the prepaid options here and what I want to do is use these. While we talk about hotspot, specific plans because you'll see with the hotspot plans, the prices are expensive, and you're not actually getting that much data, especially when compared to these prepaid options. So, first up on the Verizon network, visible was the best option with unlimited hotspot data and the options we're looking at here are from Verizon themselves and the truth is they are quite expensive. $10 a month gets you one gig of data $60 a month gets you 10, gigs of data and $80 a month only gets you 15 gigs of hotspot data.
This is for Verizon's hotspot plans and what they're calling their connected home plans and guys things only get more expensive from here. The connected home plans range from 90 to $150 and only offer between 20 and 40 gigabytes of hotspot data. You can see how visible plan with true unlimited hotspot data for just $40 a month flat is such a compelling offer here, especially considering the outrageous prices. Verizon is charging for their plans. Next on the AT&T network, I'm recommending pure talk, USA and AT&T has two data connect plans.
$50 gets you ten gigs of data, and seventy dollars gets you 15 gigs of data. Again, you can see with pure talk.22 gigs of hotspot data for $55 a month doesn't seem that bad when compared to these AT&T data connect options. Now cricket actually also offers two hotspot plans, and these are actually perfect. $35 a month gets you 20, gigs of data and fifty dollars a month gets you 40 gigs of data, so honestly I would probably try for crickets options. Typically, they do include all taxes and fees with the price of their plan, and there is no speed cap with these plans, so you will get full speed.
LTE data on the AT&T network, with cricket. Now, let's jump to the Sprint network again before we were looking at Venn mobile $30 a month for 50 gigs of spot data, but sprint actually does have surprisingly good hot spot plans. $30 a month gets you 10 gigs of data. $50 a month gets you 50, gigs of data and $60 a month gets you 100, gigs of dedicated hotspot data. These plans are honestly some of the best options we've seen so far and with the Sprint T-Mobile merger.
These plans should be able to roam on T-Mobile's network for even better coverage and performance and speaking of T-Mobile. They are the last option here before we were looking at a plan from ultra mobile $49 per month. Got you 50 gigs of hotspot data. T-Mobile offers a total of 6 hotspot plans and the first three I think are reasonable. $10 gets you two gigs of data.
$25 gets you 6 gigs of data and $40 gets you 10 gigs of data. However, the next three plans they just get expensive. So it's $55 a month for 14 gigs $70 a month for 18 gigs and $85 a month for 22 gigs of hotspot data for $85 a month. You could sign up for T-Mobile magenta and get 20 gigs of hotspot data and with wing you're paying $55 a month for the same 20 gigs of a hotspot data. So you can see with T-Mobile how a plan like ultra mobile can be actually a better deal, giving you 50 gigs of hotspot data included with their plan and, lastly, the best tablet plans.
Honestly, there are just two tablet specific plans. I want to cover here, and they are both from AT&T. You can get 25 gigs of tablet, data for $35 a month with Auto pay or if you just want one month of data, you can get the same 25 gigabytes for $40 for one month and honestly, I think these are the two best tablet specific plans. Many of the hotspot plans we covered in this video will actually work on tablets as well, but these two plans from AT&T are tablet specific. So there you go.
Those are what I think are the best cell phone plans with the most amount of hotspot theta, the best hotspot, specific plans and — honorable mention for the best tablet-specific plans. I'm curious. What plan do you think is best? What plan are you using to get your work done at home? Let me know with a comment down below and that's going to be it I also have a spreadsheet, comparing all of these hot spot plans, and you can even compare the price per gigabyte if you want to find the best deal out there. That's going to be linked in the video description and that's gonna. Be it please, like this video.
