Hidden Costs to Watch
Watch for: (1) Tethering restrictions — 5 of 5 plans include hotspot. (2) Tax and checkout fees — some providers add VAT at checkout. (3) Data cap overages — plans stop or slow down once the cap is spent, and no provider tracked here publishes the speed it applies. (4) Activation timing — some plans start counting validity from purchase, not first use. Always check the provider's terms before buying.
