Unsure About Coverage? US Mobile's ~$25 per month unlimited plan runs over a subscriber's choice of any of the 3 major networks. Subscribers can easily transfer between networks.
AT&T’s Value 2.0 and Extra 2.0 plans both offer unlimited minutes, texts, and data.
Premium Data
While the Value plan is $10 to $20 per line cheaper each month, it does not include nearly as much high-priority data.
When AT&T’s network is congested, not all subscribers are on the same footing. Users with Premium Data will experience better speeds moments the network is busy. The Extra plan’s chief selling point is its 100GB allotment of Premium Data each month. That’s enough data to cover all data use for the vast majority of people. The Value plan includes only 5GB of Premium Data.
Mobile Hotspot
The other big difference between the plans is the mobile hotspot data allotment. 3GB of hotspot data is available on Value vs. 50GB on Extra. Most people don’t use anywhere near 3GB of mobile hotspot data in a month, but the Extra plan’s 50GB could be a material benefit for those who frequently connect other devices to the internet via their phones’ cell connections.
Subscribers on either plan that run through their allotted mobile hotspot data can continue to use hotspot data at a sluggish, almost unusable, speed of 128Kbps.
Coverage
Subscribers on the Value and Extras plan both get access to coverage from AT&T’s native network and AT&T’s roaming partners (see both on AT&T’s coverage map).
Value or Extra?
If you’re looking for top-tier performance, I suggest going with AT&T’s Extra 2.0 plan.
If you’re looking to save money, I suggest starting with AT&T’s Value 2.0 plan. If you find the Value plan isn’t delivering great speeds and suspect network congestion may be the problem, you can always upgrade to the Extra plan at a later date.
AT&T’s Value 2.0 and Extra 2.0 plans evolved from the older Unlimited Starter and Unlimited Extra plans. This page was updated in March 2026 to reflect the 2.0 version of the plans.
