Choosing the best phone plan for your needs
Are you in the market for a new phone and struggling to decide on the best plan and provider? CNET senior editor Eli Blumenthal joins Alexandra Canal in-studio to break down the most suitable plans, providers, and bundle deals for consumers.
Blumenthal emphasizes that the main factor to consider when choosing a phone plan should be your usage locations, as this determines which provider offers the best coverage. "Coverage is the most important thing, because if you don't have service... your phone's not really that great."
For single-line users, Blumenthal recommends T-Mobile's (TMUS) Essential Saver plan, which is $50 per month. For family plans, he suggests consumers look into Verizon's (VZ) Unlimited Welcome plan, which offers attractive bundles and perks for subscribers.
Verizon reported its second quarter earnings results Monday morning, disclosing a revenue miss while seeing growth in postpaid phone subscribers.
