- The best smartphone plans.

(cash registering dinging) (synthesized music tones)

- Hello, Savings, is that you?

- Hey, it is.

- That was rehearsed,

as you can see why that was so effective.

(laughs)

Hi, I'm the YouTube Deal Guy, Matt Granite.

I profile huge price drops, daily deals, savings,

and lots of freebies.

- I'm intern Amy and I help him.

- And today we are going to help you save money

on summer smartphone plans.

Now, with back to school right around the corner,

that's when we see a lot of the price drops.

And today with no company paying us

to say nice things about them,

I want to profile which smartphone plans are the best,

and then Amy's going to tell us who she's with.

We see many of the best smartphone promotions

during the summer.

T-Mobile, for a single-line carrier,

with unlimited data, talk and text,

is still in the number one spot.

Other perks tied to T-Mobile include

free video streaming that doesn't count against your data,

no roaming fees, or long distance charges

for those of you traveling in Canada or Mexico.

For two lines, on a smartphone plan

with unlimited data, talk, and text,

Virgin Mobile, at $60 per month,

and Boost Mobile at $65 for the two lines,

are the two best grabs.

And for four lines, with unlimited talk and text,

T-Mobile, at $100 per month,

is back in that number one spot.

Now, while T-Mobile had some reception issues in our test,

and couldn't quite compete with Verizon, AT&T

when it came to coverage, it is improving,

and also offered the best customer service in our test.

If you want to check the signal strength in your area,

you can always test drive a smartphone for free

with most carriers to see if it works for you,

but the website, opensignal.com was spot on

in determining which carrier covered which community best.

Alright, intern Amy, spill it!

Who are you with?

- I am with Virgin Mobile,

it's right there.

Do you, does it say Virgin Mobile?

- It does, your phone says Virgin Mobile on it.

- I have Virgin Mobile

and I have never really had a problem with getting service.

I was actually out camping recently,

middle of the woods,

Verizon didn't have service, but I did.

Don't really know how that happened, but it did.

- And I'm actually with T-Mobile,

and again they are not paying me,

although they are welcome to.

- Yeah, me too! (laughs)

- I have actually had tremendous, tremendous experiences.

I drive at least five to ten hours every week,

and a lot of that is scouting down deals,

and I have not had reception issues

except in very remote areas.

And if you're not part of an urban population,

as I know many of our subscribers are not,

they are not the carrier for you, but they are improving.

- I actually had T-Mobile, before I had Virgin Mobile.

I switched when I got a new phone,

because there were, you know, carrier issues

when it came to switching phones.

And T-Mobile was always great for me too.

- And for some of the more expensive carriers,

you're going to get more coverage.

That's just unfortunately a thing right now,

but hopefully that will change.

And if there's anything else you want to save money on,

ask us!

- Yes, guys, we love hearing from you.

I love reading all of your comments,

and I will respond if you write my name in them.

- And we're just curious, what carrier are you with?

Feel free to leave us a note.

I just want to get a sense of who's with who,

because, it's interesting.

- Thank you guys so much for watching,

as always, thank you for being here,

we love our subscribers, we love our viewers.
