Like pretty much everyone, David Edwards owns a cell phone. And like many others, his phone bill was draining his wallet.
He’d been a Verizon customer for many years, but he grew fed up with forking over $185 a month for three lines. “And I didn’t even have a smartphone,” says the 55-year-old marine science technician who lives in Seminole, Florida.
Then his son told him about Twigby. The budget-friendly wireless provider runs on the Sprint and Verizon networks and features plans beginning at $9 per month.
Worth trying, right?
Can a $24/Month Phone Bill Really Be True?
At first, Edwards balked at leaving Verizon. He’d experimented with several discount carriers before, and the results hadn’t always been ideal. But that stubborn $185 monthly charge finally convinced him to jump ship.
Now? Edwards pays $24 a month for his single line. He can hardly believe it.
“I used to pay an arm and a leg for the exact same service,” Edwards says. “I’m really happy with it.”
Twigby lets you customize your plan, so you only pay for what you actually need. Every plan includes unlimited texts, and you pick the minutes and data allotment that fit you. Plans also include complimentary Wi-Fi calling and texting.
Edwards pays $24 per month for unlimited minutes, unlimited texting and 500 megabytes of data. That’s for one phone.
If you happen to exceed your data cap, you can upgrade to the next tier. Or, if you’d rather not pay extra, your data will be throttled to 2G speeds until the billing cycle renews.
“You only pay for what you use,” Edwards says. “That’s very appealing.”
Bottom Line: You’re Likely Overpaying for Your Mobile Service
