Why you should sign up for Optimum

Optimum isn’t a name you’ll see in our look at the best cell phone plans but don’t let that put you off — the field changes so rapidly in terms of value that it’s still worth checking out. The neat thing about any of these plans is if you already have one of the best phones around, you’re just paying for your minutes and data rather than having to pay extra for a phone.

With Optimum, there are two different options for the buy one, get one deal. There’s Unlimited which costs $30 per month per line. It offers 20GB premium data with 5G access included, along with unlimited talk and text. You also get 5GB of mobile hotspot potential while SD video streaming is possible. Of course, for the price, you get two lines.

Alternatively, if you need more from Optimum, check out the Unlimited Max plan. It costs $40 per month per line. It offers a huge 50GB of premium 5G data. There’s also unlimited talk and text with a 15GB mobile hotspot available. It also allows for HD video streaming with many people wanting it primarily for that reason.

It’s possible to add up to 10 lines in total to your account. If you do so with the Unlimited plans, that means you only actually pay for 5. That could mean you pay just $150 for 10 lines which is tremendous value. When kitting out your household with new cell phone plans, you’ll love what Optimum has to offer right now.

Today, you can sign up for Optimum and you can buy one line and one free. The deal applies to the Unlimited and Unlimited Max plans only but these are the most popular options so you’ll be delighted with what’s available. Check it out for yourself by tapping the button below.

Google's New Android Scam Protection Feature

Scammers are getting smarter and more tech-savvy with each passing day, abusing phone features that can be used against you. So Google is rolling out a new Android security update, which aims to make some of those workarounds harder to pull off.

Android is getting several new scam protections spanning Google Messages, screen sharing, notifications, and call forwarding. One of the handy security upgrades is with screen sharing. Android can now automatically black out login fields and payment screens so sensitive information doesn't appear in the live feed when you stream the contents of your display through Chrome or an Android Web. The feature starts rolling out this month on devices running Android 15 or newer.
