Shared data or individual allowances?

Questions to ask when comparing data plans for a team.

Review several months of usage

Look at each line rather than the fleet average alone. Include tethering, travel and busy periods. A quiet month can understate the allowance a field worker needs.

Understand the shared allowance

For a pooled proposal, ask which lines share data, what happens when the pool runs out and whether you can set individual limits. Check how the provider reports usage.

Read the unlimited terms

Check fair-use restrictions, tethering, roaming and any speed limits. Compare the cost of both approaches using the same team size and contract term.
