Spectrum Mobile's By-the-Gig plan runs on Verizon for coverage.

It costs $20 per month for 1 line.

It comes with unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 1GB of high-speed data per month. You get up to 5GB, then 256Kbps of hotspot data. Video streams at 480p quality.

Spectrum Mobile By-the-Gig includes priority data, so you will get slightly faster speeds when the network is congested, such as during rush hour or at crowded events.

All taxes and fees are included, so your total is $20 per month.

Overall, I do not recommend the Spectrum Mobile By-the-Gig plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
