A good cell phone plan is critical for staying connected while on the go. Thankfully, many network providers offer plans with high-speed internet, unlimited calls and texts, and other benefits. However, such plans can be expensive in the long term, so the best time to subscribe is during the Cyber Monday sale when providers offer the same services for less. Below are five expected Cyber Monday cell phone plan deals for 2023 from different carriers.

1. T-Mobile
A few days ago, T-Mobile overhauled its cell phone plans, replacing the Base Essentials with the Essentials Saver, priced at $50 per month for one user. It is a substantial upgrade as customers get 50 GB of high-speed data (a hike from the previous 20 GB with Base Essentials). The new plan lacks perks like the bundling of fees or taxes into the sticker price and free Netflix but offers unlimited hotspot at 3G speed. In addition, customers get unlimited text, talk, and 2G data in a couple of neighboring countries.

Since the shopping season is almost here, customers can hope to pay less for the Essentials Saver plan. A few days ago, the carrier permitted several lines on this plan, with two lines available at $80 per month. One can hope this deal returns in the coming weeks. Though priced at par with a few competitors, T-Mobile’s Essentials Saver plan stands out because of its hotspot access despite being limited to 3G speeds.

2. Verizon
Verizon’s Unlimited Welcome plan was trending a couple of weeks ago at $120 per month for two lines and $130 for four lines (with paper-free billing and auto-pay, plus one perk). Customers can expect similar or better discounts when Cyber Monday 2023 arrives.

Unlike Verizon’s Play More plan, the Unlimited Welcome plan does not automatically include extras like Disney Bundle, Apple Arcade, and Google Play Pass. However, the carrier offers several individual perks at around $10 per month per perk, allowing users to personalize their selections. Another factor customers must consider before signing up is that the Unlimited Welcome package does not offer Verizon’s fastest 5G networks and hotspot data. To bag these features, users can get the relatively costlier Unlimited Plus Plan at around $80 for a single line or $180 for four lines.

Like the Unlimited Welcome plan, the Unlimited Plus plan lets customers choose perks for around $10 per perk. One can choose add-ons like Apple One individual, Walmart Plus, 2 TB Verizon cloud storage, Disney Bundle, Apple Music Family, three days of international data, 100 GB of hotspot data, and more. Verizon delivers flexibility in selecting and toggling perks, enabling a mix-and-match approach for different lines. However, choosing to forgo or add extras requires careful consideration of personal preferences and needs.

Besides Cyber Monday discounts on these plans, customers can look for special offers, especially if they serve in professions like the military, nursing, teaching, and first responders. While Verizon offers unlimited high-speed data, the network may be slow in busy areas. Individuals must consider this factor before switching to the carrier.

3. Mint Mobile
Mint Mobile has exceptional wireless service deals, making them a top contender in the market. Its plans currently start at around $15 per month when prepaid in twelve, six, or three-month blocks, resulting in significant cost savings as opposed to other prominent carriers. Come Cyber Monday, customers may find better deals and discounts and save even more.

Mint Mobile employs the T-Mobile network nationwide, ensuring widespread coverage. Users can sign up by merely answering a few online questions. Moreover, the carrier is flexible with choices: customers can keep their existing number or get a new one, use their current phone, or shop for a new device. Mint Mobile has excellent family plan options worth checking out if someone wants to switch carriers around the holidays.

4. Visible
A few days ago, Visible had several enticing cell phone plan offers. For instance, new customers who switched to the network on a Visible Plus Plan and traded in a mobile enjoyed a $10-per-month discount for the first six months using the 35FOR6 promo code. That’s not all. If someone brought an incompatible device for trade-in, they got an Orbic Joy or TCL 30 LE phone at no extra cost. One can expect a similar deal on the Visible Plus Plan for Cyber Monday.

A couple of weeks ago, Visible also had exciting offers on select Google Pixel (Pixel 8 and 8 Pro) phones, helping people save up to $250 through monthly credits. The offer applied when someone included a new line on the Visible Plus plan.

5. Boost Mobile
Boost Mobile has been in the market for a while now. A few days ago, the carrier had a lucrative deal where new customers could try their 5G network with 2 GB high-speed data and bag a SIM kit at no extra cost. Customers can look for similar offers closer to Cyber Monday.

One need not break the bank when signing up with a service provider. With Cyber Monday around the corner, customers can expect excellent bargains on phone plans and save money.
