Nah, I pay about $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 35 GB of high speed data before being dropped from priority. It helps its a MVNO, which is the term for companies that use the networks and infrastructure of the big 3 cellular telecomms without needing to physically maintain them.

Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.
Now I’m in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month I don’t remember what my plan is but it’s something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.
Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.

I pay for a year at once, so I only pay $15 per month for unlimited talk/text and 5 GB of mobile data. Mint is the carrier I use

Not really. I’m on Visible Wireless prepay and pay $25/month for unlimited data, including unlimited hotspot (rate limited at 5 mb/s on the hotspot).
If it’s a post-pay plan, then it might be competitive, as the rates are around what you remember for those. Since they’re talking about a $500 phone instead of “free with plan,” I’m assuming it’s prepaid where you have to buy the phone separately.
