Frequently asked questions

Is 5 GB a good middle ground?
It often is for a single line: enough for navigation, messaging and light browsing away from Wi-Fi, without paying for an unlimited plan you will not use.
Why do 5 GB plans cost so differently between providers?
Network access is the main variable. A 5 GB plan on a premium network usually costs more than the same allowance on a value network, even though the data amount is identical.
