I’ll never forget the first time I felt really let down by my name-brand cell phone carrier. It wasn’t because of poor coverage in rural areas or occasional dead zones. Those, I expected.
This post is sponsored by Twigby, but this is my honest experience.
But one day I was away from home and really needed wifi for work. This wasn’t a regular occurrence, but it was kind of an emergency and there wasn’t a place with guest wifi anywhere nearby. My husband mentioned my phone could probably be used as a hotspot, and sure enough – there was a built-in feature. Pleased with myself for figuring out this (admittedly uncomplicated) tech rather quickly, I tried to enable it.
Unfortunately, a message popped up on my screen that I needed an additional subscription from my wireless carrier to use it.
I was frustrated. I paid (handsomely) for a certain amount of data every month – why couldn’t they just trust me to use it as I saw fit? They wouldn’t bat an eye if I used all my monthly data in three days streaming YouTube videos 24/7, but they didn’t think I should be allowed to make a conscious decision to allow my computer to use some of my data to meet a work deadline?
Last year, our family switched to Twigby as our wireless company. We slashed our bill by about half and haven’t noticed any sacrifice in coverage or service. We’ve been completely satisfied.
Then, we went on a little socially distanced vacay and the wifi in our Airbnb didn’t work. Once again I found myself desperately needing internet connectivity to meet work deadlines in a teeny little coastal town where literally nobody offered customer wifi. In a last-ditch effort I flipped on the little “hotspot” feature on my phone and – lo and behold – it connected with my computer instantly.
No extra fees, no additional subscriptions, no nickel and diming.
This is what I love about Twigby. It’s completely uncomplicated. My last provider had a list of fees on every bill and tried to upsell me to use the features that were already built into my phone. Twigby trusts me to use my data as I see fit, and I’m in complete control of my bill. If I choose to turn overage protection off and I exceed my data allowance, it just rolls me up to the next higher plan for the month. No penalties, no overage fees. If I choose to leave overage protection on, it just stops my data when I reach my limit.
My choice. No surprises.
Yes, there are still regulatory fees and taxes as you’ll find with every company. But after switching to Twigby and looking at my previous bills more closely I now realize that a lot of my previous provider’s “fees” weren’t the mandatory type. They were just sneaky ways to inflate my bill.
Twigby has an incredibly straightforward pricing model, with no extra payments for the extras. Features like tethering and mobile hotspot, as well as wifi calling and texting are included in every data subscription.

You can be confident that your bill won’t have any huge and unpleasant surprises; you really will save money!
