Twigby Plans
A small Verizon MVNO built around one unusual feature: free unlimited calling to 80+ countries on every plan, including the $10 one. The three-month intro prices are the hook — the standing rates are what to judge.
Twigby sells five plans on Verizon's network: talk and text with no data at $10, then 2GB at $15, 5GB at $20, 10GB at $25 and Unlimited at $35. Every plan includes free unlimited international calling to 80+ countries and free unlimited international texting, which is what makes an otherwise ordinary budget MVNO worth a look.
New customers get three months at a discount — $5, $5, $10, $15 and $25 respectively — and then the standing rate applies. Read the second number. Twigby is online-only, taxes and fees are extra, and the capped plans throttle hard once the allowance is gone.

Prices are what Twigby advertises. The line under each plan name is what you actually pay once taxes and fees land.

Intro price versus standing price
Every plan is discounted for three months and then steps up. The standing rate is the one you'll live with, and it's what these plans should be judged on.
Taxes and fees are extra throughout. All plans include free unlimited calling to 80+ countries and free unlimited international texting. Hotspot draws from the plan's own data on every tier.
What it really costs
Judge Twigby on the standing rate, not the hook. Every plan is discounted for three months and then steps up $10 — 2GB goes $5 to $15, Unlimited goes $25 to $35. The intro price is a trial, not a rate.
The reason to be here is international calling. Free unlimited talk to 80+ countries and free unlimited international texting are on every plan, including the $10 talk-and-text tier. Elsewhere that's a $10–15/mo add-on, which is the whole value case for Twigby.
The data cliff is severe. Capped plans drop to 64 Kbps once the allowance is gone, and even the Unlimited plan slows after 20GB. 64 Kbps is not slow internet, it's effectively no internet — so size the plan generously.
Compare against the network's cheaper options before committing. Visible sells unlimited Verizon data at $25 all-in against Twigby's $35 for a 20GB ceiling. Twigby only wins if the international calling matters to you.

Frequently asked questions
How much do Twigby plans cost?
Five plans at standing rates: Talk & Text $10, 2GB $15, 5GB $20, 10GB $25 and Unlimited $35. New customers pay $5, $5, $10, $15 and $25 respectively for the first three months. Taxes and fees are extra.
Which Twigby plan is the best value?
10GB at $25 standing. It covers most single-line use, and it's $10 below the Unlimited plan, which only adds another 10GB before hitting the same 64 Kbps throttle. If you use very little data, the $15 2GB plan is the cheaper way to get the international calling.
Does Twigby include international calling?
Yes, and it's the main reason to consider Twigby — free unlimited calling to 80+ countries and free unlimited international texting, on every plan including the $10 talk-and-text tier. Most carriers charge $10–15/mo for that as an add-on.
What happens when I use up my Twigby data?
Speeds drop to 64 Kbps for the rest of the billing cycle on the capped plans, which is slow enough to be effectively unusable. The Unlimited plan slows after 20GB of high-speed data rather than stopping.
Is Twigby's unlimited plan really unlimited?
Talk and text are. Data runs at high speed for 20GB and then falls to 64 Kbps, so it's better understood as a 20GB plan with a slow tail. At $35 that's more expensive than Visible's genuinely unlimited $25 all-in plan on the same network.
What network does Twigby use?
Verizon's 5G and 4G LTE network, as a deprioritized MVNO — Verizon's own customers are served first when a tower is busy. Twigby is online-only, with no retail stores.
