How to choose

A Simple Selection Guide

The best SIM card is the one that has usable signal where the device sits. A security camera in the woods, a hotspot in an RV, and a router used for backup internet can all need different coverage.

Use Plan A when coverage is known

If AT&T or T-Mobile already works well at your home, office, vehicle, camera site, or travel area, Plan A is the straightforward data-only SIM card choice with good coverage at a better price.

Use Plan B when signal is uncertain

If AT&T and T-Mobile are weak at the device location, or the device is remote, rural, mission-critical, or near a stronger Verizon signal, Plan B gives your device the broadest network mix. It is priced higher than Plan A because it includes the third network.

Watch Plan C for unlimited data

If you need always-on streaming, backup internet, or heavier hotspot usage, Plan C is the future unlimited option to watch. It is intentionally marked coming soon until it is ready.
