- Flexible plans allow up to 15 GB of full-speed data.
- Simply Unlimited plans allow up to 35 GB of full-speed data.
- Unlimited Plus plans allow up to 50 GB of full-speed data.
How group plans compare to individual plans
In group plans, all members have their own personal data limits and one memberâs data usage wonât add to another memberâs data limit. Only the plan manager can pay to get full data speeds for members.
Use full-speed data beyond your data limit
Important: Before resuming full speed data, understand that once full speed data is enabled, it canât be disabled for the current billing period.
After you reach your planâs data limit, you can choose to return to full-speed data for an additional $10/GB for the rest of your billing cycle.
