The alternate title I had for this post was:
My girlfriend is going to be a millionaire because she switched her cell phone plan!
With my new found free time I’m getting back to my roots (saving money) and I am shocked that me and everyone I know is on a major cell phone carrier paying $60, $80, or $100+ per month. My girlfriend is paying $115/mo 🤯
I switched my cell phone plan to US Mobile, it’s $25/mo, switching was really easy and it’s been seamless. They use the same network as Verizon, ATT, and T-Mobile- you can switch multiple times during the month if you want between those networks. Their customer service has been responsive and helpful via chat.
Nick Gray gets credit for sharing the YouTube channel where I learned about all this, now that I’ve guinea pigged it he’s about to switch!
It’s unlimited data but they throttle after 35g. It’s really easy to change some settings on your phone to get your data down each month. If you’re curious how much you use go to Settings → Cellular and look for “Current Period”. If you don’t see a date it resets then that’s how much you’ve used since you last manually reset it, likely when you bought the phone. You can call your carrier or check their app for your monthly data usage.
They have a $44/mo plan with $100gb of premium data. That plan also has $10gb of international data per month, so I plan to switch to that for months I’ll be out of the country.
And either plan you can prepay for the year for a discount. Probably some of you spend that in just 2-3 months. You’re welcome! Use my referral link to thank me so I get $25 and you get 30 days free: https://www.usmobile.com/referrals?referrer=2A58C573
I told my girlfriend she should switch then make a TikTok video about how she’s going to become a millionaire by switching her cell phone plan. I made her a spreadsheet. With no other investments other than the $90/mo she’ll save and invest from going from $115 – $25/mo, she’ll be a millionaire by 54, and at 65 she can retire with $7.5M! Compound interest is an amazing thing!
* I did use 20% return, so she’s putting it in BTC 😆
