Cell phone plans can get exceedingly complicated, so Comcast\u2019s pitch for Xfinity Mobile\u2019s simplicity is rather appealing \u2014 particularly at a time when everything is more expensive than ever. Today, the company is announcing two simple plans priced at $30 and $45 a month that have some serious perks for their prices.<\/p>\n
The $30 Mobile Select plan covers the main basics, including 50GB of \u201cpremium\u201d full-speed data; Global Travel Pass to cover yourself when traveling in 215 different countries; and Xfinity\u2019s Wi-Fi PowerBoost. That latter feature takes advantage of Xfinity\u2019s wide network of Wi-Fi hotspots around the country. Your phone will automatically connect to those when you\u2019re out and about, and you\u2019ll get priority speeds of up to 1 gigabit on those networks as well as at home.<\/p>\n
The $45 Mobile Plus plan adds some pretty significant perks. For starters, you\u2019ll get unlimited premium data and 4K video streaming (the Select plan limits you to 720p). But more significantly, the Plus plan promises device upgrades at literally any time. At this point, most carriers offer ways to upgrade before the typical three-year device payment plan is up, but as someone who did that late last year, I can confirm that the constantly changing promotions around phone upgrades make it hard to know exactly what you\u2019ll be eligible for.<\/p>\n
Comcast, however, says that Mobile Plus subscribers can literally upgrade their phone at any time. I asked how it would work if I was crazy enough to switch to a Galaxy S26 six months after getting an iPhone 17 Pro, and they said it would be no issue, regardless of how much I had beat up my iPhone. I\u2019m trying to figure out if there\u2019s a catch, but the company\u2019s representatives were very adamant about \u201canytime upgrades\u201d being as uncomplicated as they said.<\/p>\n
Similarly, the Plus plan also includes lifetime device protection, another thing that most carriers charge separately for. This extends to any connected device on your plan like smartwatches or iPads in addition to your phone. If you need a replacement, just bring it in.<\/p>\n
Xfinity Mobile is still limited to people who subscribe to an Xfinity internet plan. But given Xfinity promises five-year price guarantees and even lets customers try a year of the Mobile Select plan for free (or the Plus plan for $15\/month) so there\u2019s very little risk involved here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
