Our takeEditorial$70/month for 15 GB on Verizon's network, no hotspot - the mission is genuine, but the price-per-gigabyte is hard to justify on service alone.

CREDO Mobile 15GB Shared Data Plan Plan Details
Plan Features
15 GB of high-speed data on Verizon's network, HD video streaming, international calling to Canada and Mexico, and a portion of the monthly bill donated to progressive causes. No hotspot. Multi-line discounts available.
Data, Minutes & Messages
15 GB of high-speed data per month with unlimited talk and text. After 15 GB, speeds slow during congestion on busy towers - the standard deprioritization that applies to Verizon MVNOs. HD video streaming works within the 15 GB allowance.
Plan Speed
Verizon LTE and 5G where available. HD video streaming included within the 15 GB cap. After 15 GB, speeds drop on congested towers - fine for most light use, noticeable during peak hours in dense areas.
Contract Details
No contract, no activation fee, no early termination fee. Month-to-month service.
Overage Charges
No overage charges. After 15 GB of high-speed data, speeds slow when towers are busy. Data continues but at reduced speed during congestion. No add-on data buckets listed.
Mobile Hotspot
No mobile hotspot at this tier. At $70/month, the absence of hotspot data is a meaningful limitation. Anyone who needs to tether a laptop should either look at the Unlimited plan or a different carrier.

Cons

T-Mobile unlimited is in the same price range
The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get 15GB Shared Data Plan for 1 line?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“Verizon's network, HD streaming, progressive nonprofits funded by your phone bill. The mission is the plan.”
“Seventy dollars. No hotspot. T-Mobile unlimited is in the same neighborhood. The cause is priced very optimistically.”
