But Tmobile family plan costs you $30/month with unlimited data. I think it is crazy that we have to pay $10/ GB for data specially when I am traveling around the country with no wifi.
Which $30 unlimited plan? The grandfathered one with a max of 60 minutes of voice you get through walmart?
I had a family plan through t-mobile and after years of getting more expensive per month (no enterprise discount, increasing number of taxes/fees, etc) I switched to google fi and halved my bill.
Some tips for those trying to minimize bandwidth:
1) tell google phones to backup pictures/videos on wifi
2) preload maps for any cities you visit more than monthly
3) get a podcast app (if you listen) that preloads them when
on wifi
4) get youtube red ($10 a month) for no ads, downloadable youtube
videos, and downloading your top 500 songs.
With the above, even when traveling quite a bit I average 1-2GB a month. I generally use nav every time I drive just to get the traffic info/warnings.
