Twigby Talk & Text Review

$10/mo standing, $5/mo for the first three months. That buys unlimited nationwide talk and text on Verizon's network plus free unlimited calling to 80+ countries, the identical international package Twigby puts on its $35 Unlimited plan.

There is no data allowance at all, which is the entire trade. If a phone needs to work away from Wi-Fi, this isn't the plan; the 2GB tier is $5/mo more standing.

A well-priced plan for a narrow job: a basic phone, a landline replacement, or a second line whose only purpose is calling abroad. At ten dollars standing it's cheaper than almost anything with international calling attached, and it runs on Verizon's towers. But no data means no data: no maps, no messaging apps away from Wi-Fi, nothing. If the phone is a smartphone, spend the extra five dollars on the 2GB tier.

Consider instead: Twigby 2GB. Five dollars a month more at the standing rate adds 2GB of data, with the same free calling to 80+ countries. The minimum for an actual smartphone.

How much is Twigby Talk & Text?

$10/mo at the standing rate, with the first three months at $5/mo. Taxes and fees are extra.

Does it include any data?

No. It's unlimited talk and text with no data allowance at all. The 2GB plan at $15/mo standing is the cheapest tier with data.

Does it include international calling?

Yes: free unlimited talk to 80+ countries and free unlimited international texting, the same package Twigby includes on every plan up to Unlimited.

What network does Twigby use?

Verizon's, with data and traffic deprioritized behind Verizon's own customers when the network is busy.

Can I add lines?

Yes, up to five lines on one account, which makes it workable for a household of basic phones.
