The rundown

About Twigby

Who they are

Twigby is an independent US carrier, not part of the Verizon or TracFone corporate groups, that offers low-cost service on Verizon’s network. It sells prepaid, no-contract monthly plans built around flexible data buckets paired with unlimited talk and text, with each line able to pick its own data amount. Twigby is effectively online-only, sold through twigby.com rather than big-box retail.

Network & coverage

Twigby runs on Verizon’s nationwide network, so coverage tracks Verizon’s footprint. All plans include Verizon 5G where available on a compatible device, at no extra charge, along with mobile hotspot on many plans. One catch worth knowing: as a value brand, Twigby data can be deprioritized behind Verizon’s own postpaid customers during congestion, and unlimited plans slow after a high-speed allowance.

How pricing works

Twigby is prepaid with no contract and no early-termination fee, sold as month-to-month plans where you choose a data bucket and get unlimited talk and text. Taxes and fees are not included; state and local taxes and surcharges are added on top, and Twigby estimates them when you enter your address. Promotions sometimes discount the first months, but there’s no clear standing autopay discount and no formal price-lock guarantee.

Who it’s for

Twigby suits light and moderate users who want Verizon coverage at a lower price, especially families who want each line on its own data bucket. It is less suited to heavy streamers, who may hit high-speed caps or congestion slowdowns more often, or to anyone who wants in-person store support or taxes-included billing. The alternatives below are worth a look if all-in pricing is your priority.

“I went with Twigby for a couple of reasons. First and foremost – COVERAGE IS KING!!! Twigby uses both Sprint and Verizon. This is what closed the deal for me. I keep telling all my friends about Twigby. They are people, not money grubbers. And there are no contracts, or junk activation fees. What’s not to love about not having a contract!!!”

“Although Twigby might not yet be a household name, there’s a lot to like about this MVNO. As a Twigby customer, you’ll tap into Verizon’s solid 4G LTE and rapidly-growing 5G network but avoid paying premium Verizon prices. Its varied plan options are value-packed—by opting for low or no data, you can net some incredible savings.”

“Twigby plans are ideal for light to medium users. Its affordability and custom options also make it a fantastic choice for senior citizens. If you're paying too much for features you don't even use you'll save nearly half by making the switch.”

You get what you pay for. Twigby shipped me a broken phone. Their only options are for you to buy another phone (will it be broken too) and ship back the old one or ship back the old phone without service for days (maybe you get a refund). You better keep your original box too or they will charge...

Our cell phones are for emergency purposes. We pay 31.77 per month for 3 lines. We were able to bring some older smart phones we had purchased from our previous carrier that had priced us right out of their market. The 200 min per month is plenty. Our son loves the unlimited texts. Hubby and I do...

Could not disagree with you more.  I found Twigbys' customer service to be beyond useless, all cut and paste and totally ignored the real problem. Just try cancelling your account.
