Twigby Mobile Phone Plans Review

Twigby offers five main cell phone plans with unlimited talk and text, plus amounts of data up to unlimited. Customers get discounted pricing for the first three months of service, and then prices increase by $5 to $25 monthly. Still, this is comparatively more affordable than the average cell phone plan.

Here’s a quick overview of Twigby Mobile plans and prices:

• Unlimited talk and text (no data) for $5 monthly for the first three months
• Unlimited talk and text and 2GB data for $5 monthly for the first three months
• Unlimited talk and text and 5GB data for $10 monthly for the first three months
• Unlimited talk and text and 10GB data for $15 monthly for the first three months
• Unlimited talk, text, and data for $25 monthly for the first three months

We recommend Twigby Mobile's Unlimited data plan for the most data. Although prices increase to $35 after three months, it's still a killer deal compared to major carriers and even other discount carriers.

You can add more data to other plans when you need it. With Twigby Mobile, a mid-month data boost costs $6 per GB. But heavy users like professional gamers and social media influencers likely need a plan with a bigger monthly data cap.

Twigby is cheap, flexible, and easy. Twigby’s most expensive plan comes with unlimited data plus a whopping 20GB of high-speed data, and costs $25 monthly for the first three months of service. To put that into perspective, Verizon’s cheapest plan costs $55 monthly. Although Verizon gives you truly unlimited data, Twigby’s unlimited data plan with a 20GB high-speed data cap offers a decent amount for the average phone user, providing plenty of gigabytes to cover standard activities like scrolling social media, streaming music, and watching a handful of YouTube videos here and there.

As is the case with pretty much all MVNOs, Twigby offers a simpler menu of plan options, which means you don't get the some of the luxuries that come with flagship phone plans from major carriers Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T.

One of the easiest ways to make your phone bill cheaper and easier to manage is to bundle cell phone plans with your family. (Plus, what would a family reunion be without a little bickering about which sibling uses up all the shared data?)

You can add up to five people on one Twigby Mobile account. Each line on the account can be on a different plan, so if your grandma uses more data than your brother, you can make sure each person is signed up to a plan that suits their usage. 

Twigby offers the same prices and plans to multi-line or family accounts as its usual plan offerings, so while there is convenience in having everyone in a household under one plan, there are no additional perks or discounts. 

As we said above, MVNOs lease bandwidth on other companies’ cellular networks. And Twigby Mobile uses the Verizon network, which is currently the nation's best performing network to give its customers coverage. 

Verizon's network has extensive 4G LTE and 5G coverage. That means just like you can expect fair coverage in rural areas on a Verizon plan, Twigby Mobile customers should rarely be without at least a few bars of service.

Check out the coverage map below to see how the network looks in your area.

Because Twigby Mobile is borrowing bandwidth from Verizon, it's possible for customers to experience slower load times and unresponsive cellular service during times of heavy network congestion—think crowded sports arenas, music festivals, or busy theme parks. 

While this is pretty common with all MVNO carriers, Twigby reassures that deprioritization is pretty rare, so don't consider it a dealbreaker. Especially since even plans from major providers like Verizon or AT&T can experience slow speeds during congestion.

If you recently splurged on a brand new Galaxy S25, don’t worry—you can bring your phone with you when you sign up for Twigby Mobile.

If you want to bring your own device (BYOD), use Twigby Mobile's compatibility checker first to see if your phone can transfer.

Twigby Mobile offers the latest flagship devices like the Galaxy S25 or the iPhone 16. You can also get a decent deal on some perfectly good devices that have come out in the last few years, like the iPhone SE and Google Pixel 8a. Here’s a look at all of the phones that the company sells.

We went on and on about how cheap Twigby Mobile’s plans are. But how do these cheap plans compare to other discount carriers?

Quite well, actually. You can find that Twigby offers fairly competitive rates compared to other Verizon MVNOs. All the Verizon MVNOs listed below rent bandwidth from Verizon's towers, so they offer the same 4G LTE and 5G coverage. 

Here's a quick breakdown of cell phone plans from competitors:

• Visible offers unlimited data for as low as $25 monthly. Speeds are subject to deprioritization during busy periods.
• US Mobile may offer the best deal of all: 100GB of premium data using the Verizon network (coined "Dark Star") for as low as $32.50 monthly (paid annually).
• Spectrum Mobile offers one free unlimited line for a year with a Spectrum Internet plan. 
• Red Pocket offers its Unlimited Premium plan for half price for your first month, and then $30 monthly afterward. 

Let’s go over a couple of basics before you jump into buying a plan. How do you actually know if a Twigby cell phone plan is right for you? These are a few factors to keep in mind.

• Data: You need data for most of your apps, so it can get used up fast. If you're constantly streaming shows on your phone, getting a Twigby plan with unlimited data might be useful. 
• Price: Twigby plans all come with a discounted deal for the first three months of service. If you want to avoid the eventual price increase, you can always cancel and hop to a cheaper Verizon MVNO. 
• Coverage: There are three major cell phone networks. Make sure you’re on the one that has great coverage in your area. Twigby uses Verizon's towers, which has widespread coverage in rural areas and cities.  
• Performance: Some companies offer faster data speeds, hotspot data, and other perks. Be sure that you’re getting the performance you need to support your lifestyle.
