Assessing your wireless needs

You'll want to understand your personal needs in a wireless plan to choose not only cheap phone plans but also the best cell phone plan for you to avoid paying for unnecessary features.

Some factors to consider when evaluating wireless plans include your average data usage, the need for hotspot data, mobile security, and access to 5G. 

If you have an existing AT&T WirelessSM plan, you can check your current usage for data, talk, and text to see your baseline needs. You can also research the 5G coverage of your preferred carrier to see their coverage in your geographical region.

You might also consider how often you use 5G access, international texting, and hotspot capabilities. In the long run, if you use these features often, a plan that includes them may save you money rather than paying for these services as needed.
