Prepaid cards can include unlimited talk/text/data plans, minute-based voice plans (for example, 200 or 750 minutes), data allotments such as 1 GB, and mobile hotspot allowances (examples include 20 GB or 30 GB on some plans). Options vary by provider and listing.

International features vary widely by plan. Some prepaid options advertise unlimited international calling to 100+ or 200+ destinations, others include international roaming in a set of countries (examples cited include roaming in over 140 countries or roaming to 17 countries), and some provide a separate worldwide calling credit for additional destinations. Check the plan’s fine print for exact country coverage and limits.
