Twigby 2GB Review

$15/mo standing, $5/mo for three months. The intro rate is one of the lowest real prices in prepaid, which makes this a good way to test whether Twigby's Verizon deprioritization is acceptable where you live before committing to a bigger tier.

Judge it on the standing rate. At $15 for 2GB you're paying mostly for the international calling: Lycamobile's 8GB annual plan is $9/mo with calling to 100 countries if you can prepay a year.

A reasonable plan for a Wi-Fi-first user who calls abroad, and an inexpensive way to try the network at $5 for three months. What holds it back is what holds back every capped Twigby tier: when the 2GB is gone, 64 Kbps isn't a slow connection, it's no connection. If your usage is at all variable, the 10GB tier at $25 gives you room to be wrong.

Consider instead: Twigby 10GB. Our pick at Twigby. Five times the data for $10/mo more at the standing rate, which buys real protection from the 64 Kbps cliff.

How much is Twigby's 2GB plan?

$15/mo at the standing rate, with the first three months at $5/mo. Taxes and fees are extra.

What happens when I use up the 2GB?

Speeds drop to 64 Kbps for the rest of the cycle, which is effectively unusable for anything beyond plain text. Hotspot stops working.

Does it include international calling?

Yes: free unlimited talk to 80+ countries and free unlimited international texting, on this and every Twigby plan.

Is 2GB enough?

Only for a Wi-Fi-first user doing messaging, email and occasional maps. If you stream or navigate on cellular regularly, buy the 10GB tier.

Is the $5 intro price worth taking?

As a test, yes: three months at $5 is a cheap way to find out how Verizon's deprioritized traffic performs where you live. Just budget for $15 from month four.
