I have Verizon prepaid. I pay $26.56 a month including state sales tax.
For that I get…
* Unlimited voice.
* Unlimited SMS.
* “Unlimited” data. The first 5GB/mo is at 5G speeds, the rest at 4G speeds which I typically see between 60-110Mbps.
* Yes, tethering as well.
Post-paid from all carriers is vastly overpriced, and that’s what they push push push. Pre-paid is always cheaper, though you can’t bring some things like a watch along. Check the major carriers, and get over not being able to stream unlimited 4K video in the field.
I’ve been paying that $26.56 a month for years now, and that price has come down at least THREE TIMES since I switched to prepaid many years ago. Think I went from $45 -> $35 -> $30 -> $25 pre-tax over the years.
MVNOs are certainly an option, but just look hard at the major carrier prepaid offerings. They don’t actively advertise them, so, “It’s a secret to everybody.”
