Data Only Plans — FAQ

What is a data-only plan?
A data-only plan gives you mobile internet access without voice calling or text messaging. They're ideal for tablets, hotspot devices, or as a second line for data. Prices start as low as $5/month.
Can I use a data-only plan in a phone?
Yes! Data-only plans work in any unlocked phone. You won't be able to make traditional calls or texts, but you can use VoIP apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Google Voice for calling over data.
What's the cheapest data-only plan?
The cheapest data-only plans start at $5/month for 1GB on the T-Mobile network. If you need more data, unlimited data-only plans are available from $25/month.
Do data-only plans include hotspot?
Most data-only plans can be used for hotspot/tethering since the plan is data-only by nature. Check with your carrier for any hotspot-specific restrictions on unlimited plans.
Which networks offer data-only plans?
Data-only plans are available on T-Mobile and Verizon networks through low-cost carriers (MVNOs). You get the same network coverage at a fraction of the Big 3 price.

No. All data-only plans listed here are prepaid with no contract. You can cancel or change your plan anytime without fees.
