Data Truth 92
The marketed data claim lines up well with the plan's real monthly limits.
Feature Completeness
?

Feature Completeness measures how many useful plan-level features are confirmed, such as hotspot support, priority data, travel and roaming support, device and SIM type support, data rollover or top-ups, international options, and included perks. Higher scores mean more confirmed extras; lower scores mean fewer supported features or more unknown details.

48.8
This plan has only a limited set of confirmed extra and supported features.
Caveat Load
?

Caveat Load looks at fine-print and signup friction, including whether taxes and fees are included in the advertised price or charged extra, autopay requirements, contracts, credit checks, activation/SIM/shipping fees, and online-only or store-only rules. Higher scores mean fewer caveats were found; lower scores mean more caveats or unresolved caveat details. When Carrierlytics cannot verify a caveat because the carrier is not clear or because we have not captured it yet, a small uncertainty penalty is added instead of assuming there is no issue.

55.1
Several caveats may affect the real cost or signup experience.
