Our takeEditorial$55/month for 9 GB on Verizon's network with nonprofit donations built in - great mission, expensive by MVNO standards for the data you get.

CREDO Mobile 9GB Shared Data Plan Plan Details
Plan Features
9 GB of high-speed data on Verizon's network, HD video streaming quality, international calling to Canada and Mexico, and a monthly donation to progressive nonprofits from every bill. No hotspot at this tier. Multi-line discounts available but amounts not confirmed.
Data, Minutes & Messages
9 GB of high-speed data per month with unlimited talk and text. After 9 GB, the data speed drops - the plan lists a deprioritization threshold at 9 GB, meaning speeds slow on congested towers once that's hit. HD video streaming is included at full speed within the 9 GB allotment.
Plan Speed
Verizon's LTE and 5G network where available. HD video streaming works within the 9 GB high-speed data cap. After 9 GB, speeds slow during congestion if the tower is busy - the same deprioritization that applies to all Verizon MVNOs.
Contract Details
No contract, no early termination fee, no activation fee. Month-to-month service. A 25% promotional discount for 24 months was noted for new customers (code 25JAN26) but its current validity is uncertain.
Overage Charges
No overage charges. After 9 GB of high-speed data, speeds slow down during congestion on busy towers. There is no stated hard stop - data continues but at reduced speed when the tower is under load.
Mobile Hotspot
No mobile hotspot is included with the 9 GB plan. This is a notable gap at $55/month - most carriers at this price include some hotspot allowance. Anyone who needs to tether a laptop should look at the Unlimited tier or a different carrier.

The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get 9GB Shared Data Plan for 1 line?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“Your phone bill funds progressive causes. Verizon coverage. No contract. That's a real proposition.”
“Nine gigs for $55 is roughly double what non-mission MVNOs charge on the same Verizon network. The cause is priced in.”
