The Best Phone Plans for Two

Unlike competitor Spectrum Mobile, Xfinity Mobile offers competitive multi-line discounts when you sign up for multiple lines. If you plan on signing up multiple members of your family, we recommend going with the aforementioned Premium Unlimited.

Premium Unlimited goes down to $40/month per line when you add two lines, and just $35/month when you add four. But the real benefit of Premium Unlimited is all that premium data (50GB) it includes—which is crucial when you have a family full of streamers or gamers. Side note: this plan is actually just $10/month per month per line for the first year.

Another strong 2-line contender in the prepaid market comes from Boost Mobile, and its $25/month ($15/month for the first three months) per line Unlimited plan. It’s a relatively stripped-back offering compared to the plans we’ve explored thus far, with 30GB of premium cellular data and no extra hotspot data. That said, Boost operates its own powerful network, in combination with a smattering of partner ones, so customers can count on excellent coverage nationwide.

Cricket Wireless is another prepaid provider that’s backed by a larger carrier, in this case AT&T. That spells good things for Cricket customers, since they get access to the powerful AT&T 4G and 5G networks. 

Cricket’s Smart Unlimited plan is one of the carrier’s most appealing two-line options. Each line gets access to truly unlimited high-speed data, plus 15GB of dedicated hotspot data, unlimited texts from the U.S. to 200+ countries and territories, and Canada and Mexico privileges. All for just $37.50/month per line.

Google Fi is a popular and well-regarded prepaid carrier that offers service aboard T-Mobile’s powerful national network. The carrier’s Unlimited Standard is one of the best deals on the market, including as it does 50GB of high-speed premium cellular data, a healthy 25GB of dedicated hotspot data, and free service in Mexico and Canada. 

Google Fi’s Unlimited Standard costs just $40/month per line when you sign up for two lines.

Yet another great premium two-person option is Verizon’s Unlimited Plus plan. At $70/month per line when you sign up for two, it delivers some excellent features: access to Verizon’s fast 5G Ultra Wideband network coverage, unlimited premium data, a 30GB mobile hotspot data allowance, unlimited talk, text, and data in Mexico and Canada, and unlimited texting to over 200 countries. 

If you want to supercharge your plan with additional perks, you can choose from a wide selection of them via Verizon myPlan. At $10/month (with the exception of Apple One, which costs $15/month), they’re cheaper than they would be if you bought them separately.

Another worthy contender for the best major carrier two-line plan crown is AT&T’s Unlimited Extra EL. For a very reasonable $65.99/month per line for two lines, it  gives you 75GB of premium (i.e., unprioritized) data to use each month, as well as 30GB of mobile hotspot data, and Mexico and Canada privileges.

While not as packed with perks as similarly priced offerings from T-Mobile and Verizon, AT&T’s Unlimited Extra EL is nonetheless a great value. And it comes backed by the best combined 4G and 5G coverage in the country.

One of the best of premium two-line plans is T-Mobile’s Experience More. It includes unlimited premium data, unlimited mobile hotspot data, streaming subscriptions galore, and a ton of travel perks (including in-flight WiFi)—all for a reasonable $70/month per line when you sign up for two.  

While not quite as all-encompassing in its perks as the T-Mobile’s more expensive Experience Beyond ($85/month per line for two lines) plan, it should nonetheless tick most boxes for the majority of users.
