Simple Mobile's Unlimited plan for 1 line costs $50 per month.

It rides on the Verizon network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and unlimited high-speed data per month. You get 5GB of hotspot data. Video streams at 480p quality.

The Simple Mobile Unlimited + 5GB Hotspot 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.

Overall, I do not recommend the Simple Mobile Unlimited + 5GB Hotspot plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
