H2O Wireless Unlimited XL Review
Sixty gigabytes at full speed and a twenty-gigabyte hotspot — H2O's answer for people who tether a laptop and travel with it.

How H2O Wireless Unlimited XL Scores
We scored H2O Wireless Unlimited XL against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.
Pricing: paying for the hotspot
$60, or $54 with AutoPay, plus about $2.98 in fees — roughly $62–65 all-in. The full-speed allowance is 60GB, same as the $50 tier.
So the $10 premium buys exactly two things: a 20GB hotspot instead of 5GB, and a $20 roaming credit instead of $10. If you tether a laptop regularly, that's worth it. If you don't, the $50 tier is identical for less.

Final Verdict
A well-specified plan with a narrow but real audience. 60GB at full speed with a 20GB hotspot and a $20 roaming credit covers someone who works off their phone and travels with it — and nothing cheaper in H2O's lineup does. The catch is that the $50 tier matches the data and the calling for ten dollars less, so this is a tethering purchase, not a data one.

How much hotspot does H2O Unlimited XL include?
20GB — four times what the $30, $40 and $50 plans offer at 5GB. It's the main reason to choose this tier over the $50 plan, which matches it on full-speed data.
What does H2O Unlimited XL include?
Unlimited data with 60GB at full speed, a 20GB mobile hotspot, unlimited US talk and text, unlimited calling to 100+ countries plus bonus unlimited calling to Pakistan, a $5 monthly talk credit (doubled for six months) and a $20 international roaming credit.
Is Unlimited XL worth $10 more than the $50 plan?
Only if you tether. Both plans give 60GB at full speed and the same international calling. The $60 tier adds a 20GB hotspot instead of 5GB and doubles the roaming credit to $20.
What does Unlimited XL really cost?
About $62–65/mo, or $54 with the 10% AutoPay discount before taxes. H2O adds roughly $0.48 for the federal universal service fund and $2.50 in administrative and regulatory cost recovery, plus state tax.
