Simple Mobile $23.75 for 3GB Data with Unlimited Talk & Text – Feb 2019


In this article I am going to take a look at the Simple Mobile plans and features for February 2019. Before getting started I want to point out that this is not a review, just a look at the plans and features currently offered.

I reviewed Simple Mobile back in 2018, check out smartphonematters.com and my YouTube channel for more details. See Simple Mobile Review – Thoughts and Conclusions

If you want to sign up for Simple Mobile you can buy a phone directly from simplemobile.com. They have a large selection of phones and often have some pretty good deals. If you are interested check out my Simple Mobile Latest Deals page. If you want to bring your own phone, you can order a Bring Your Own Phone SIM kit directly from simplemobile.com for $1.

Simple Mobile is a prepaid wireless service sold at Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and other retailers or online from simplemobile.com. Simple Mobile is one of the many prepaid wireless brands owned by Tracfone. Simple Mobile does not have their own cellular network, they use the T-Mobile network.

Plans

Simple Mobile offers five different plans. All of these plans include unlimited talk and text. Three of these plans include a fixed amount of high speed data, the other two plans include unlimited data.

All of the plans include unlimited nation-wide talk and text calling and text to and from the United States. They also include International calling to 69 destinations including Mexico and Canada. They include an additional $10 International calling credit for more destinations. They also include International Roaming to Mexico and 15 other Latin American countries but unfortunately not Canada though. I’ll describe more of the details for the international calling after the plans.

$25 Unlimited Talk, Text, and 1 GB of Data ($23.50 with Auto-Reup)

This plan includes unlimited talk, text, and 3GB of high speed data. The price of this plan drops to $20 when you sign up for Auto Reup, a $5 discount. This $5 discount is only valid for the first three months. After that the plan price is $23.75, or a $1.25 discount.

This plan is listed as a limited time offer and you must sign up by March 31 2019. After that the $5 discount and the amount of data on this plan may revert to 1GB, we’ll have to check back to know.

After you use up your high speed data, you’ll still have a data connection. Simple Mobile calls this 2G data, its really slow. You’ll be connected to the internet. You may be able to send and receive email, exchange messages, or browse the web really slowly. You won’t be watching Netflix or YouTube or listening to Spotify or Apple Music with 2G data.

If you use up all your high speed data, you can buy Add-On Data. More details about that after the plans. Any unused or remaining high speed data expires after the month. You can use Mobile Hotspot with this plan.

$30 Unlimited Talk, Text, and 2 GB of Data ($28.50 with Auto-Reup)

The $30 plan works just like the $25 plan. No one would currently choose this over the $25 plan because it costs more and has less data than tthen $25 plan. Enough said.

$40 Unlimited Talk, Text, and 10 GB of Data ($37.50 with Auto-Reup)

The $40 plan includes unlimited talk, text, and 10 GB of high speed data. The price of this plan drops to $37.50 when you sign up for Auto Reup, a $2.50 discount.

Data works the same as described for the $25 plan except that you’ll have 10GB of high speed data, 7 GB more than the $25 plan.

$50 Unlimited Talk, Text, and Unlimited Data ($45 with Auto-Reup)

This plan includes unlimited talk, text, and unlimited high speed data. The price drops to $45 when you sign up for Auto Reup, a $50 discount. Note that this plan is listed as a limited time offer until March 31 2019.

With this plan, you’ll have unlimited data. Video streaming is at SD quality also known as DVD quality or 480p. With this plan, you’ll be able to use up to 10GB of data with mobile hotspot. The mobile hotspot data is part of the limited time offer I mentioned early.

$60 Unlimited Talk, Text, and Unlimited of Data ($57 with Auto-Reup)

This plan includes unlimited talk, text, and unlimited high speed data. The price of this plan drops to $57 when you sign up for Auto Reup, a $3 discount.

Considerations

I was impressed with Simple Mobile when I reviewed it, I like the plan prices and all the features they support. When I previously reviewed Simple Mobile, I found T-Mobile coverage to be very good. But for some people AT&T and Verizon have better coverage in their area than T-Mobile does. So I always recommend choosing a prepaid wireless service that uses a network with good coverage in your area.

More about Data

Simple Mobile does not enforce a maximum download speed on their high speed data. They do state however

During congestion, Simple Mobile customers may notice reduced speeds vs. T-Mobile customers.

.

For 2G data, they state:

At 2G speeds, the functionality of some data applications such as streaming video or audio may be affected. Please refer always to the latest Terms and Conditions of Service at SIMPLEMobile.com.

Add-On Data

If you run out of high speed data when using one of Simple Mobile’s fixed data plans, you can buy more. They offer 500MB for $5 or 1GB for $10. $10 per GB of data is an OK price for data. Unfortunately, any unused add-on data expires at the end of your current plan. It does not roll-over from month to month.

$10 Add-On International Card

The $10 Add-On International Card adds $10 of calling credit to your plan for calling countries not included in the list of countries you can call for free. You’ll pay as low as one cent per minute. Check this list of calling countries and the current rates. Before purchasing, make sure they support calling landlines, mobile lines, or both in the countries you want to call depending on your needs.

Visual Voicemail

Simple Mobile offers Visual Voicemail for both iPhone and supported Android phones.

Mobile Hotspot

Simple Mobile currently offers Mobile Hotspot with all its plans. Mobile Hotspots lets you connect your laptop, tablet, or other Wi-Fi device to the internet using your phone’s cellular data connection. Many people want this feature.

Wi-Fi Calling

Simple Mobile currently offers Wi-Fi calling. If your phone is compatible you can register it with Simple Mobile and then enable it on your phone.
With Wi-Fi calling, your phone can make and receive calls and texts using your Wi-Fi connection rather than the cellular network, You can use your phone in areas where you have Wi-Fi but have little or no cellular network coverage.

International Calling

Simple Mobile supports both international direct dialing or using their access number and mobile app for international calling. The free international calling lets you call up to 20 unique numbers per month. Make sure to check their list to see if free calling is available to landlines and mobile phones in the countries you need to call.

International calling is available for calling from the United States to the list of supported countries.
