Choosing the right mobile plan for your team
Single-user plans, pooled data or a sharer bundle — how to pick by team size and how people actually use data.
The right setup depends on how many people you have and how evenly they use data. Most teams fit one of three patterns.
Key takeaways
- Small, steady teams usually suit single-user plans.
- Teams with uneven data use save with pooled plans.
- Check coverage where your team actually works.
- Every line has its own minimum term.
The right setup depends on how many people you have and how evenly they use data. Most teams fit one of three patterns.
Single-user plans
Each person gets a fixed allowance. This is simple and suits teams where everyone uses a similar amount, or who need Unlimited.
Aggregated and sharer plans
If some staff use a lot of data and others very little, pooling lets everyone draw on one allowance. Aggregated plans combine each line's allowance; sharer plans use low-cost lines plus one shared bundle.

Common questions
Can we mix networks?
Each account runs on a single network, but a business can hold accounts on different networks if coverage needs differ.
Can we start small and grow?
Yes. Add lines at any time; each new line starts its own minimum term.
