Is Boom! Red 5GB Annual Worth It for 1 Line?

Boom Mobile's 5GB plan for 1 line costs $22.99 per month.

It rides on the Verizon network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 5GB of high-speed data per month. After your high-speed allotment, you get unlimited slow data at 64Kbps. You can use up to all 5GB of data as hotspot data. Video streams at 480p quality.

It is worth noting that the Boom! Red 5GB Annual plan includes priority data. Having priority data means you will get slightly faster data speeds during times when the cellular network is busy, such as at sports games, concerts, or during rush hour traffic.

All taxes and fees are included, so your grand total is just $22.99 per month.

Overall, I do not recommend the Boom! Red 5GB Annual plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
