Are You Unlimited Bound

So what are the signs that you're Unlimited bound?  Consider the following tips and questions.

  • You use your phone a lot and don't want to worry about how many minutes you have in your bucket, or what the price per minute is if you go over.
  • You use your phone primarily in the same state or general area, and don't travel often.
  • You want the best value for your money, and are prepared to commit to paying a specific amount on the same day each month.
  • You're committed to the plan from the beginning and don't expect to want to change plans.  This is particularly important to note because with most wireless providers offering this type of service there's often a significant cost to change to another plan (ex. a new phone), or they simply don't offer any other plans to change to, so switching would be starting all over with a new wireless carrier.
  • Look for these things when comparing costs of Unlimited providers:
    • What's the monthly cost of the plan?
    • What's included in the plan and what's extra?  (ex. Is text messaging included?)
    • What the home calling area coverage?  This is important because when you leave your home calling area, you'll be charged traveling fees (this doesn't necessarily mean that you're on a different carrier's network, it just means that you've left the boundaries of your normal calling area).
    • What are the traveling fees?  There will most likely be times when you leave your home calling area on travel.  Depending on how often you do, this cost may or may not be important to you.
    • What are the convenience/service fees for making your monthly payment?  Because of the value of these plans, wireless providers typically charge a replenishment fee.  This definitely affects the true monthly cost to you for these plans.
    • If you don't like the plan, does the carrier have another plan you can easily switch to?
