For smartwatches, you must sign up for the $10/month Unlimited plan. You can activate a SmartWatch using Number Share if you want to share your smartphone number with it or you can use a Standalone Number if you prefer to have different mobile numbers for your smartphone and smartwatch.

For tablets, laptops, MiFis, hotspots, and jetpacks we recommend Unlimited Plus because it includes 5G Ultra Wideband access and double the 4G premium data as compared to the Unlimited plan. For all other connected devices, we recommend the Unlimited connected device plan.

If you run out of premium data or hotspot data on the Unlimited plan, then you can change to the Unlimited Plus plan. The Unlimited Plus plan offers double the amount of 4G LTE data and Unlimited 5G Ultra Wideband for only $10 more per month.

If you sign up for or already have the Get More Unlimited plan or Do More Unlimited plan on your account, you’re eligible for 50% off an unlimited plan for a connected tablet, Jetpack, MiFi, Hotspot, Hum^x or smart watch. (If you had these plans before 8/20/20, you're eligible to get the discount for a connected tablet or Jetpack only.) Learn more by visiting our Get More Unlimited FAQs and Do More Unlimited FAQs.

Unlimited Plus is a connected device plan for those with a tablet, jetpack, MiFi or Hotspot who want to connect to the 5G Ultra Wideband network.

The Unlimited Plus plan can also be used by 4G connected devices and is a great option because it offers double the premium 4G LTE data as compared to the Unlimited plan.
