Jean Gilles

Founder & Lead Analyst, ShopCellPlans. Writes reviews on this site. Pretty awesome human-being.

Jean Gilles has researched personal finance, consumer technology, and wireless pricing for over a decade. ShopCellPlans is his independent project to bring transparent, no-spin guidance to a category most people overpay in.

He has run the site since 2019. Every plan review, carrier guide, and ranking published here is written and scored by him — there is no freelance pool and no syndicated content.

independent since — no paid placement, ever

How he works

  • Plans are tested on real devices in real cities, not read off a carrier's spec sheet.
  • Scores come from four pillars only — Value for Money, Network Reliability & Speed, Hotspot & Features, and Customer Experience. See the full methodology.
  • Promotional pricing is noted but never counts toward a score. Renewal rates and hidden fees do.
  • No carrier — including ones the site earns commissions from — sees a review before it publishes.
