Reach Mobile Essentials for 1 Line: Is It Worth It?

Reach Mobile's 5GB plan for 1 line costs $25 per month.

It rides on the T-Mobile network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 5GB of high-speed data per month. The data is shut off after you reach your high-speed allotment. You can use up to all 5GB of data as hotspot data. Video streams at quality.

The Reach Mobile Essentials plan has deprioritized data. Having deprioritized data means you may temporarily experience slower speeds during times when the cellular network is busy. You'll resume getting the fastest speeds available when the network is no longer busy.

Taxes and fees are extra on this plan. I estimate they will add another $3.85 to the price. Your total montly bill will be about $28.85 per month.

Overall, I do not recommend the Reach Mobile Essentials plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
