ShopCellPlans is an independent cell phone plan review site run by Jean Gilles. We exist for one reason: the wireless industry is built on confusing pricing, hidden fees, and “unlimited” plans that aren’t unlimited — and most consumer guidance on the internet is one carrier ad away from being a press release.
What We Do
We test, compare, and rank every major U.S. cell phone plan and carrier. That includes the Big 3 (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T), every meaningful MVNO (Mint, Visible, Total Wireless, Twigby, Boost, Cricket, Google Fi, US Mobile, and dozens more), and emerging regional and prepaid carriers. We test plans on real devices in real cities, evaluate hidden fees and renewal-rate traps, and rebuild our recommendations every time the market shifts.
How We Stay Independent
ShopCellPlans is reader-supported. When you sign up for a plan through some of the links on this site, we earn a commission. We disclose this on every page where it applies. We do not accept money for reviews, ranking placement, or “preferred partner” arrangements. No carrier — including the ones we earn commissions from — sees our content before it publishes. Our scores and rankings are based exclusively on our four-pillar methodology: Value for Money, Network Reliability & Speed, Hotspot & Features, and Customer Experience.
