Choosing the right data plan starts with knowing your actual usage, then the coverage in your area, then the price. A large plan you do not use is a waste, and a small plan that runs out quickly is a nuisance. Here is how to choose wisely.
1. Calculate your usage
Review your data usage over the last two months from your phone settings. A light user may need only a little, while someone who watches video and plays games needs a larger plan or an unlimited one.
2. Coverage first
The strongest plan is useless with weak coverage. Make sure the network quality is good at your home and workplace before committing to a long term plan.
3. Speed, not just allowance
Some plans cap the speed after a certain limit. Read the terms, because speed makes a difference for video and meetings.
