Fun fact: I started tracking mobile plan changes in 1995 when “free nights and weekends” was a headline feature and a text message still felt futuristic. Every wave since has felt like the last big change, yet here we are again — still comparing plans, still chasing better value, and still riding the newest promo wave.
