Dodo's Price Hike and Speed Cap Change - Worth Switching Plans?
Dodo’s plan used to be perfect for me. I’d always hit the 2GB cap, but the unlimited calls, texts, and 1Mbps unlimited data worked just fine. Now, they've raised the price from $10 to $15 and reduced the speed cap to 256Kbps, which has made it much less usable.
I'm thinking of switching to Amaysim’s $5 unlimited call/text-only SIM ($60 yearly) and using the extra savings to find a $5-$10 data-only SIM as second SIM card. But I'm struggling to find unlimited (capped) data at all now within that price point.
Has anyone made a similar switch, or do you have better suggestions for a budget-friendly setup?
I’m not big on SIM-slutting since I don’t want to risk losing my number, but I’m open to moving around from time to time.

If you can find an annual plan that fits your needs, and paying for a year at once is possible, that may work out cheaper per month.
It's been a while since I looked for a new plan, but it seems to me that the direction mobile plans are going is that the only differences are how much data and whether anything international is included. Most plans these days include unlimited calls and texts. As someone who doesn't do much calling or texting and needs like 2GB/month tops, pretty much everything has more than I need. A few years ago I was service hopping to whoever would give me a $10/month plan, but many of those have increased to $15/month.
The plan I'm currently on is no longer available to new customers, so unfortunately I can't recommend it to you.
