Does Good2Go have awesome deals on new phones? Nope. What about extra features like mobile hotspots and free international coverage? Forget about it. This is shredded wheat in a bag—what you see is what you get. And that will be perfect for some folks. Here’s a closer look at what we like most about Good2Go’s plans (we’ll get to what we don’t like so much in a moment). You can get a classic, unlimited talk and text plan with no data from Good2Go for just $10 a month. Admit it: that’s less than you currently spend on in-app purchases. But it’s also cool because AT&T’s network has great coverage and speeds. We’ll go over this in more detail below, but just know that you should see at least a few bars of service in most of North America with Good2Go. Just be aware that these advertised data allotments will likely be cut in half after a little while. (Good2Go is running a promotion right now that doubles your data for the first three months.) The point is that data use can add up fast, which is why many companies (like Sprint) are moving towards offering only unlimited data plans. And it’s also why Good2Go’s lack of an unlimited data option is going to be a dealbreaker for many customers. Good2Go gives you . . . a $5 monthly credit when you enroll in autopay. Cool. Yay. Yep, this discount provider is light on the perks. But that’s just how it is when you’re getting service at such cheap rates. Good2Go keeps up its competitive edge, even once you start adding data. Here’s what it looks like when you compare plans with at least 5 GB of data. We suggest that you check out these family plans from traditional providers, or sign up for Visible’s “Party Pay,” if you’re looking to cover three or more people. Here’s a peek at Good2Go’s coverage map. AT&T’s network is not bad for 4G coverage, either, but it still can’t compete with Verizon.1 But we’ve found no complaints from Good2Go customers about this happening, so don’t panic. You should experience good performance on all of your allotted full-speed data (speeds will definitely be reduced after that’s gone). Good2Go has a “Phones” tab on its website, and it lists out phones that are compatible with its service (which is most of them, as long as they’re unlocked). So you won’t find any awesome phone deals from Good2Go. And you won’t be able to pay for a new device in monthly installments. Instead, you’ll have to pay full price, up front, directly to the phone producer. Maybe hang on to that old iPhone 7 after all. So the good news about Good2Go’s customer service is that we were able to get through to a real, live human operator in about 10 seconds. You can try it yourself by calling +1-800-416-3003, from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. (ET), Monday through Sunday. But the bad news is that there is no mobile app that allows you to pay your bill or check your balance. Instead, you’ll have to log in to Good2Go’s website on a browser.
Plans: Good2Go offers a dirt-cheap ($10 a month) talk and text plan. The price goes up when you add data, but it’s still competitive. Sadly, the company doesn’t offer family plans or extra perks like mobile hotspots. Coverage and performance: Good2Go runs on AT&T’s powerful network. That means great coverage in most places, fast download speeds (up to your data limit), and low latency. Phones and devices: You can see phones that are compatible with Good2Go on its website, but you won’t get any special deals or payment plans on these devices (sad trombone).
If you just want simple cellular service with talk, text, and maybe just a dollop of data, then you’re good to go (we almost made it through the whole review without a Good2Go pun)! You can sign up easily online. If you have any lingering concerns, check your device’s compatibility using Good2Go’s online tool.
