Xfinity Mobile adds 5G data plans

If you’ve been thinking about switching to Xfinity Mobile, then you’ll want to know about changes to its data plans and pricing.

Comcast’s Xfinity Mobile, a low-cost cellphone service provider that runs on Verizon’s network, has intro- duced 5G and two data options to go along with it.

New and current customers can choose from these 5G data options:

Unlimited: $45/month per line on up to five lines; speeds reduced after 20GB

By the gig: 1GB shared data for $15/month, 3GB for $30/month or 10GB for $60/ month; $15 per additional GB

Since it launched in 2017, Xfinity Mobile’s Unlimited

plan has remained at $45 a month per line. However, 1GB of shared data on the

By the Gig plan increases from $12 to $15 per month with this change.

Existing customers can opt-in to a 5G data option or keep the plan they have — no change in pricing.

For now, Xfinity Mobile’s 5G service is available in a few dozen cities across the United States. They include Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Miami, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C.

The provider is already selling 5G-capable phones on its website like the Samsung Galaxy S20+.

To sign up for Xfinity Mobile, you must have an Xfinity internet account. You can learn more about how the service works in my full Team Clark review. I was a paying customer for two years.
