Spectrum Mobile’s By the Gig plan is a pay as you go plan for someone who is usually connected to Wi-Fi and uses less than 3GB of data. On this plan, you get 5G access, can share data, and can mix and match data needs. Be careful, though: Once a full GB is used, another is automatically added to your account.

Spectrum Mobile’s Unlimited plan is a great choice if you want a generous amount of high-speed data. You don’t have to worry about being connected to Wi-Fi all the time, and there’s a good chance you’ll never even hit the data cap by the end of the month. The best part? The Unlimited plan is free for 12 months when you first sign up for a qualifying Spectrum Internet plan.

No need to get everyone on the most expensive Unlimited Plus plan. Younger members can have the By the Gig plan while some can get the Unlimited plan, and others can use more international benefits on the Unlimited Plus plan.

Yes, especially if you’re already a Spectrum Internet customer (or looking to become one). You have access to three different prepaid plans operating off of Verizon’s extensive network, meaning you have access to a premium 5G network for a much smaller monthly bill.
Yep, you can easily switch from Verizon to Spectrum. Verizon doesn’t lock you into any contracts, so you can simply cancel your plan and sign up for Spectrum instead. But you must be a Spectrum Internet customer to qualify for a Spectrum Mobile plan. Spectrum offers up to $2,500 to break your current mobile contract for up to five lines.
No. All prepaid carriers, like Spectrum Mobile, do not lock you into contracts and you simply pay month to month. So you can cancel at any time and not face steep early termination fees.
