3, 6 or 12-Month Prepaid Phone Plans for the USA and Canada

Most providers only do monthly or a full year. If you are in the USA or Canada for a semester, a summer internship or a long visit, neither fits: monthly means remembering to renew, and a year means paying for months you will not use. Unlimit Mobile plans for the USA and Canada come in 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, paid once, upfront.
Why the length of your plan matters
- You pay less per month than paying monthly. Every 3, 6 and 12-month plan costs less per month than the same plan month by month. The tables below show today’s prices for one month and for twelve.
- You renew less often. One payment covers your whole stay, so your number does not lapse halfway through a term.
- You keep one number. Your bank, landlord, university and employer have one number for you for as long as you are there.
Which length fits your stay?
- 1 month: a short trip, or a first month while you settle in.
- 3 months: a summer internship, a short course or a long visit to family.
- 6 months: an exchange semester or a work assignment.
- 12 months: a full academic year, a year-long contract or a move.
