Every option the agent weighed
Unlimited Standard (3 lines) Google Fi Wireless · selected
Reported $90/mo base price for 3 lines plus corroborated no-contract terms and phone-reachable support fit all three requirements, though exact tax-inclusive total wasn't read to the dollar.
- budget: $90/month base price for 3 lines; taxes and regulatory fees added on top and vary by location (not quantified for a specific location); estimated all-in total well under $120/month support.google.com not the brand’s own page
- term: No annual contract; cancel anytime with no activation or cancellation fee; device financing is optional — using your own phone (BYOD) avoids any financing obligation, but if a device is financed, remaining payments are o forums.androidcentral.com not the brand’s own page
- support: Phone support exists (numbers reported as 1-844-825-5234 / 1-844-TALK2Fi); multiple independent sources describe reaching a live human agent by phone or requesting a callback gethuman.com not the brand’s own page
Unresolved: exact all-in monthly total (base + taxes + fees) for 3 lines in the household's specific location; direct read of Google Fi's own ToS page (fi.google.com/about/tos) — attempted fetch was truncated/unreadable; direct read of Google Fi's own contact/support page (fi.google.com/about/support-simple) — attempted fetch was truncated/unreadable
Base Annual (3 lines) Visible (Verizon) · rejected
No phone support channel identified — support is described as chat-only, failing the required 'reach a human by phone' criterion.
- budget: $68.76/month for 3 lines, reported as taxes and fees included bestphoneplans.net not the brand’s own page
- support: No phone support line; support is 24/7 online chat only, no retail stores or phone lines reviews.org not the brand’s own page
Unresolved: whether the 'Base Annual' plan name implies a 12-month commitment, which would also conflict with the month-to-month requirement
Family/Multi-line prepaid plan Mint Mobile · unresolved
Only introductory multi-month prepaid pricing was found; standard ongoing 3-line price and true single-month (no-prepay) availability could not be established.
- support: Phone support at 800-683-7392 (or dial 611 from a Mint phone), reported hours 5am-7pm PST, 7 days/week gethuman.com not the brand’s own page
Unresolved: standard (post-intro) ongoing 3-line monthly all-in price including taxes and fees; whether a true single-month, no-prepay commitment option exists at standard pricing
