I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal. They will do things like upgrade my plan on their website to have 10 extra gigabytes of data but won’t upgrade me to it until I contact them. There’s also all the new member exclusive deals that I feel make it impractical to just sit on one plan for an extended period of time.

    And I can use it for hotspot data for no additional cost

    From a European perspective (no idea about other places) this sounds so ridiculous. You pay for internet. Why should they be allowed to dictate if you can hotspot it or not

      Yeah for sure. I mean, my hotspot anyway has always been free. But I know people who have to pay separately. And I don’t understand why.

      I remember the first time I went to Europe several years ago. I went to Barcelona. I picked up a local sim card at an Orange store. I must’ve gotten like 10GB for like 28 days or something? And it was like half to 2/3 the price of what I was paying at home for 5GB.

      Same in the Philippines. That said, in either location, I didn’t try hotspotting.
