US, $42/year, eSIM with keepgo for 10GB of data that never expires. That's about all I use per year, often less.

i buy limited data plans that i have to call something like 5556466345666782117909# ,usually 8€ in Estonia

[–] pixelpunk@feddit.org 1 points 15 hours ago

Switzerland, equivalent of approx. US$ 16. unlimited 5G data, calls and SMS in Switzerland. 3GB data roaming in EU.

[–] Drempire@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

£1 monthly. Unlimited data/SMS/voice. It's a trial offer of 6-8 months but with a little juggling you can keep the trail much longer. I've had mine for about 4 years now

[–] pinguin@fault.su 4 points 1 day ago

Where did you get this??

[–] rehydrate5503@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Canada. $39.55 CAD per month (approximately 25€). Plan includes unlimited calling and text in Canada, US and Mexico, 75GB of data at 5G. Also includes roaming to over 100 countries, but limited to 10GB of data. Calling and texts are unlimited in the country where you roam. So for example, if you’re in Italy, it doesn’t cost anything to call or text Italian numbers, but if you were to call or text Japan, there would be a charge.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hey fellow Canadian. I pay about the same. Looking at these other responses, I think we're getting screwed.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

I pay $27.12 (taxes in) for more data than I need per month (~12GB). Grandfathered Freedom Mobile plan.

Ireland, 20 euro for a month of unlimited data, no throttling (that I've noticed), unlimited calls and texts in Ireland and enough EU ones that I don't worry about it.

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Germany, 7€/month, 7GB, sms + phone flat

[–] thethirdobject@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Switzerland, 30.50 chf a month for unlimited calls sms and data in Switzerland and 40gb a month of roaming in Europe (but with a huge discount: regular price for this would be more than double)

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 2 points 21 hours ago

How? Show me your ways...

[–] dangercake@feddit.uk 1 points 18 hours ago

UK, £10/mo 120G data, all you can eat voice/SMS (was an offer on smarty)

[–] chainysawrs@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

$15 a month, but you have to pay in chunks of 3 months at a time, so $45 every 3 months. Mint mobile, US.

[–] Mavytan@feddit.nl 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

But what do you get for that money?

[–] chainysawrs@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

5 gigs of data and unlimited text and calling. I’m on wifi probably 95% of the time and download songs/playlists instead of streaming if I’m out and about. I don’t think I’ve used over a gig a month so far.

[–] rirus@feddit.org 1 points 18 hours ago

I use services that sell my data so that I get free cellular service. One I use is 250mb free, the other is 3GB + calls free

[–] essigvater@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

35CHF for unlimited 5G, text and calls in Switzerland and Europe. 39CHF for 10GB fibre at home.

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

France, 19.99€, unlimited data + calls + text, 35 GB/mo roaming in all of Europe and other countries

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Same plan but 10€ since I'm also a fiber subscriber.

[–] jafffacakelemmy@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't pay myself, but it's about 7€ I think. Portugal.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Portugal, €5/month, 100GB of data connection, 5000 call minutes. I'm supposed to pay one cent per sms but I have yet to be charged.

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

In the US, I pay 23 dollars per month for 2 lines sharing 5 gigabytes of 5g data, unlimited talk and text through U.S. Mobile.

It's plenty because we are on WiFi most of the time.

[–] abrahambelch@programming.dev 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Germany - 20€/month, 100GB of 5G data in Germany and all of Europe, unlimited calls and texts, roaming to Switzerland is not included though

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

£7 for 30gb of data, EU roaming and all the calls + texts I want.

[–] flying_gel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Australia, boost mobile yearly prepaid plan. 365GB for 365 days costing $365 AUD ($200 EUR, $220 USD). So $1 a day. Unlimited local calls, no overseas calls or roaming.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

€10 per year or something. Ancient deal without internet that is impossible to beat price wise.

I have a dual sim phone and work gave me a sim card and I'm using their internet when I have to.

[–] Quik@infosec.pub 1 points 20 hours ago

20€/month, Germany, started the plan half a year ago, will be over in one and a half. Unlimited SMS/calls, 35GB (at least, maybe even more, I don't use nearly as much) data. Got a (carrier unlocked, because we're not in the US) Pixel 8 Pro with it.

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 2 points 23 hours ago

7EUR for 8GB of internet.

US, $25/month through Visible for unlimited call, text, and data

[–] Humanius@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm paying €10,50 / month for unlimited calling / 500 texts / 18 GB of data. Thats is with Simpel in the Netherlands.

Texting is not relevant here since everyone uses WhatsApp (and more recently Signal), and I've never actually used more then 18GB of data in a month.

US mobile. It’s great, I use their Verizon one (warp) but they have ATT and T-Mobile.

[–] mikesplaces@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Cambodia. I pay $6 a month for 50gb data. This is 4g service. Only thing we have now but it's rock solid service and gossip about 5g has been around awhile. We have three providers here. Each charge about the same.

[–] LilB0kChoy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

US, Xfinity Mobile,$60 for 2 lines, unlimited talk, text and 5g data but you do have to have another Xfinity service to be able to buy their mobile.

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 1 points 21 hours ago

66.58 CHF (80.51 USD) for Unlimited everything in Switzerland. Internet is another 66.58 CHF a month.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

~$12 CAD. Barely any data (I think 256 mb?), but unlimited call and text. I never really use data unless I'm in a new place, and even then I rarely use more than that.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Aus, I have 2. $30/m for 15gb and then unlimited at 1.5mbps, but bad signal. $70/m for 180gb then unlimited at 1.5mbps but I can't actually use that much due to bad signal even if it isn't as bad as the other one.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I usually buy an e-sim when I'm traveling and you can get usually get 10-20$/mo unlimited data at reasonable speeds everywhere in Asia except China which is an entire different world of its own and really not worth the hassle so you take what you can get.

One exception is Thailand where I buy 1 year prepaid sim for 40$ unlimited 100mbps which you can keep extending year after year for almost the same price.

All of these prices are irrelevant without considering local salaries but cellular data is really good in Asia. I've seen cell towers deep in Vietnams jungles and was actually texting from a cave there. This is why low orbit networks like starlink are severely overrated and will always lose to cell towers.

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 4 points 1 day ago

The Netherlands.

6€. Sim only. Unlimited calls and sms, 6GB 4G, later this year 5G.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

USA, $17.50/month prepaid for a year: US Mobile Starter Unlimited (or whatever the lowest tier is called) gives 10 GB of high-speed data and then infinite 1 Mbps, which is faster than any other throttled speed (apart from Visible, but that's also costlier). I have a referral link for it that rewards both the referrer and referred.

Oh, and it gives infinite minutes and texts across all of North America, I think (Canada + Mexico), as well as access to all the major satellite networks, so if you don't like your AT&T service, you can order a SIM to try T-Mobile's, etc., all while still on the same US Mobile plan; they advertise themselves as a "supercarrier" accordingly.

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Nothing - my employer pays for it - but if I was paying myself it would be $85NZD/month for 150GB 5G data, unlimited text and calling to NZ and Australia

[–] Cano@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Italy, 10.99€ a month, 160 gigs 5G, 100 texts, unlimited minutes

[–] Hello_there@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

US, $8 a month, prepaid, 100 MB, 100min/text

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

US, about $45/month for Google Fi. Switched to it years ago because it was unlimited in all of North America, but it looks like maybe I should do some research on another carrier
