Let’s talk about the toxic relationship in your pocket.
If your phone bill feels like a mystery, your service drops in your own house, or you’re still paying weird fees with names like “activation” or “access”—it’s time.
Your phone plan might be the problem.
The good news? You don’t have to settle for confusing bills, bad coverage, or overpriced plans. Below are 7 red flags that your mobile plan is stuck in the past—and what to do about it.
🚩 1. You’ve had the same plan since the iPhone 6
It’s giving blast from the past. If you haven’t checked your plan since Vine was still a thing, it’s probably outdated—and overpriced.
Newer plans and carriers usually offer more perks, better coverage, and fewer fees. It’s worth checking.
🚩 2. Your coverage disappears at home
If you’re paying $60+ a month but can’t make a call in your kitchen without standing by the window—no thanks.
You deserve solid service where you live. Use Goji’s coverage map to find carriers that actually work in your area.
🚩 3. Your “unlimited” data is always slow
Let’s be real: “unlimited” doesn’t always mean what it says.
If your speeds slow down halfway through the month, you might be experiencing data throttling. You’re not alone—but you can do better.
🚩 4. You’re afraid to open your phone bill
If your bill requires a calculator (and a therapist), it’s too much.
Surprise fees, weird surcharges, and “line access” charges? Red flag. A confusing phone bill is a sign it’s time to move on.
🚩 5. You’re still paying activation or upgrade fees
In 2025, there’s no reason to be paying to start or change your plan.
A lot of carriers dropped these fees years ago. If yours hasn’t, it’s time to break up.
🚩 6. You don’t even know what your plan includes
If you can’t say how much data you get, or whether you have hotspot access… that’s a problem.
You might think you’re on a good plan—but if you don’t know what’s included, how can you tell?
🚩 7. You’ve never compared plans because it’s “too complicated”
We get it. Comparing plans used to be a total headache.
But that’s why we built Goji—to make it fast, easy, and (dare we say?) kind of fun to shop smarter. You can find the best carrier for your area and compare plans in just minutes, without stepping into the store or talking to a salesperson (we get it!).
So… did one of those hit a little too hard?
