today i am going over one of the best cell phone carriers around,
and honestly it's a carrier that i have been sleeping on. i didn't give them
two thoughts when i first heard of them when i knew they existed i thought,
"ugh no i would rather go visible or mint mobile or verizon." But here's the thing i think i have
found a carrier that beats out Visible Mobile and i know that sounds crazy but i swear it's true.
it's xfinity mobile and in this video i'm going to give you five reasons to switch to xfinity
and why it might be the best option for you. i'm sherri riggs you're watching WhistleOut tv.
if you haven't yet don't forget to subscribe comment and like this video. i come out with new
videos at least twice a week going over everything in the telecom industry: news updates cell phone
plans carriers internet providers and more and i'd love for you to join along. we're also on
every social media platform. okay now let's get to it i'm going over the top five reasons or top five
things you should know before switching to Xfinity mobile. first two reasons are there two types of
plans. we're gonna start with their first plan type which is pay by the gig. so for pay by the
gig your price starts at $15 for one gigabyte and then goes up to thirty dollars for three gigabytes
and then sixty dollars for ten gigabytes. now that might not seem like the best deal but here's the
catch this is shared data so you could have four lines on say the sixty dollar plan and split ten
gigabytes of data between four people and you're still only paying sixty dollars. same with the
fifteen dollar plan you could have three people on that plan sharing one gigabyte of data unlimited
talk and text for 15. so when you think about it that way if you are someone who doesn't need
a lot of data or you're in a family or a household that doesn't use a lot of data and you want to pay
less for your cell phone bill this is a great option. i'll jump on a shared data plan either the
1 3 or 10 gigabyte plan share the data and just pay the cost for that plan i think it's a really
great deal for people who are not heavy data users. this plan also includes hd 720p streaming
so you have some high quality streaming options and then this with the shareable data you also get
access to use your hotspot... that does cut into your data usage which could be hurtful in the long
run especially if you have multiple people on your lines who use hot spots but otherwise you should
be pretty good with this plan if you're a low data user or even on a budget. and the great thing with
xfinity mobile is if you see that you are going to be going over your gigabyte usage you can upgrade
to the next plan up or you can even switch to an unlimited plan to potentially save you some
money... and that is the second thing we are going over about xfinity: xfinity mobile's unlimited
plan is nearly unmatched, there are a few caveats, however it is a great plan. so the price starts at
45 for one line and then incrementally gets lower and lower to $30 for four lines. now you might be
thinking, "sherri visible mobile can get you down to $25 for unlimited everything!" but here's the
thing that i think beats out visible mobile, with xfinity you get 20 gigabytes of high-speed data
usage before your data slows. you do not get a set amount of high-speed data to use with visible
mobile like you do with xfinity, and i think it's worth the extra few bucks you might pay each month
to get that high speed data that you wouldn't be promised with visible mobile. there are a
few downsides with this plan a few of them being you can only stream in SD with the unlimited plan
unless you are on a hotspot or connected to wi-fi then you can stream in HD, and the other thing
is your hotspot speeds will only be 600 kbps so they're not great hot spot speeds but fast enough
to get work done on your computer. i wouldn't try streaming anything from a laptop or tv using this
hotspot. Where xfinity kind of falls in second place to visible mobile is you do have to pay
extra to call mexico and canada however when's the last time you've called mexico or canada? at least
for me, that's never, and when i am traveling abroad i'm mostly using wi-fi at the restaurants
or hotels or wherever i'm staying so for the most part that perk for any plan really doesn't have a
pull on me either way. so it just depends on your usage if you travel a lot to mexico or canada,
or if you don't this is a great option. and the last thing i want to add is that they are
mix and match with family plans so if you have a bunch of people that want to use xfinity mobile
in your household then you can mix and match. not everyone needs to be on an unlimited plan,
not everybody needs to be on a shared plan, you can have two people on unlimited which would be
forty bucks each so eighty dollars for that and you could have two people on the thirty dollar
three gigabyte plan and that's only a hundred and ten dollars for four people in your family to have
unlimited talk and text and some data to use. the third thing you should know about xfinity
mobile is that they now run on verizon which is the largest network in the country they have
incredibly fast 5g speeds and the most 4g coverage in the country so you'll likely never be without
service with xfinity mobile. and this is another reason why it's so comparable to visible and even
better than visible is because the network is exactly the same except you get more high speed
data with xfinity mobile over visible. the fourth thing you should know about xfinity mobile is that
you do need to be an xfinity or comcast internet user you have to have that already installed in
your house or be a customer otherwise you cannot sign up for xfinity mobile, however there are
currently three million extraditiomable users and 31 million people signed up for comcast internet
in the united states so there are a lot of people out there who could benefit from this. and i think
it's definitely beneficial to bundle this because then all of your bills are in one place for all
of your telecom needs so your internet wi-fi bill and your cell phone bill will all be from the same
place and i think to bundle that could potentially make your life just a little bit easier. not to
mention could potentially save you tons of money especially if you're on a verizon name brand plan
you can just switch to Xfinity and downgrade your bill and upgrade your experience, it's the exact
same network for a lot less. the fifth thing you should know about xfinity mobile is that there is
a vast hotspot network in the united states and that matters because if you are on xfinity mobile
your phone will switch between data and wi-fi depending on which is stronger. with 18 million
hotspot locations in the country you'll never be without service or internet connections and
there's no need to switch back and forth manually between data or wi-fi because your phone will do
it automatically and it will only switch off of the verizon network if the internet connection is
stronger. you can be guaranteed awesome service no matter where you are. at first, although it might
sound odd using your cell phone service between wi-fi and a verizon network might seem kind of
not great, it is overall a really great option especially for people who are running low on
high speed data. okay so what's the overall review i have what are the positives? well
i mean i think everything about xfinity mobile is positive you get 20 gigabytes of guaranteed high
speed data with the unlimited plan, you can have multiple lines on the shared plans which i think
is great, it's on the verizon network (you can't go wrong there) plus all your bills are going to
be bundled in one spot with your internet bill and cell phone bill all in one now which is helpful.
not to mention the vast network of hotspots that comcast has nationwide with 18 million,
you'll literally never be without a connection and in this day and age that's important to me
and so i imagine it's important to most people as well. What are the downsides with xfinity mobile?
there isn't a great cell phone selection to choose from if you want to buy a phone from xfinity and
if you want to bring a phone that is limited as well all iphones can come but if you're an
android android user you might have some trouble. you can go to xfinity's website to double check
and make sure your phone is capable to switch to xfinity. and the other thing, of course,
is that you can only sign up for xfinity mobile if you are a current comcast or Xfinity internet
customer. like i said before that's not everybody in the country but that is 31 million people who
can benefit from this awesome service that i think is flying way too far under the radar. that's it
for today what do you think of xfinity mobile are you going to sign up for it are you going to pass
let me know what you would choose i'm sheri riggs thanks for watching whistle out tv
