Phone Plan Comparison: Filter Verified US Offers

What this version covers

The sample is deliberately narrow. It has 6 brands, 11 mobile plans and 23 public price records. Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T are postpaid; Cricket, US Mobile and Boost are prepaid. Verizon's mobile route is present, and its prepaid four-line total is recorded as a whole-account price rather than a per-line guess.

How a price is counted

A budget is the whole account: all lines, once. If a carrier publishes a price for one line only, a four-line request is marked “no whole-account quote” and the tool does not multiply the one-line price by four. T-Mobile publishes whole-account prices for two, three and four lines on Experience More, and Verizon Prepaid publishes a four-line total. Those are the only multi-line records in this first snapshot.

AutoPay is a condition, not a default. Where a lower price depends on AutoPay, the card keeps the condition visible and does not silently use the lower figure. A first-month price is shown separately from the ongoing price. A 28-day or annual plan is not described as a monthly price; this particular snapshot contains monthly plans, while the calculator engine is tested separately for 28-day and annual cases.

Taxes and fees follow the carrier's label. Cricket and US Mobile publish prices with taxes and provider monthly fees included. Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and Boost exclude taxes or fees on the pages read for this version. A budget against an excluded-tax price can confirm the known service amount, but not the all-in monthly total.

Every price record in this snapshot

This table is the readable base data, before any filter runs. It is the same public snapshot the interactive tool uses. The source link on each row is an official carrier page; the checked date is the date we actually read it.

How to read the three result groups

• Matches the confirmed filters: the fields you set are supported by the records shown. It is not an account approval, and it does not turn an unverified tax into a final bill.
• Needs confirmation: a fact required by the question is missing or conditional. An unknown no-SSN rule stays here. It is not treated as a “yes” or a “no”.
• Does not match a confirmed condition: a published number or account type fails the filter. The reason stays visible, and the plan is not quietly replaced with a paid alternative.

What this tool does not do

It does not approve an account, collect an SSN or IMEI, check a device IMEI, promise coverage, or claim a live carrier quote. It does not use commission to order results, and a plan with no affiliate offer remains in the same groups. The phone switch cost calculator is the next step for a dated cash-flow estimate.

Sources and maintenance

The six source pages used for the displayed prices are linked below, along with the public snapshot and its manifest. The dataset is rebuilt from the authoring files only after schema, foreign-key, evidence, synthetic-data and private-field checks pass. A page fetch failure changes the affected field to unverified; it does not delete a plan or refresh a check date.
