Spectrum has discontinued its ‘By the Gig’ Spectrum Mobile® plan for new customers, as of July 2026, replacing it with a new option: Unlimited Plus Premium!
Existing By the Gig customers can continue using their current plans, but new customers will have to choose from the updated lineup. So what does this new plan hold, and what other changes has Spectrum made to its Mobile service? Let's break it all down in this blog.
The change follows a similar move made by Comcast in April this year. The reason to remove the ‘By the Gig’ plan is to shift focus towards more ‘flat rate’ mobile plans, and to create a ‘retention source’ for the company since the updated service is seen as a value addition for the customers.
The good news for new customers is that they can try Spectrum Mobile (Spectrum Internet® required) free for a full year. Let’s take a look at the latest Spectrum Mobile Plans currently available:
Limited-time offer; subject to change; qualified residential customers only (no outstanding Spectrum balance). Standard rates apply after promo period or service change. Actual speeds (including wireless) vary and are not guaranteed. Activation fee additional; taxes may apply. UNLIMITED: After 30GB of cellular data or 5GB of hotspot data, speeds may slow during periods of high traffic. UNLIMITED PLUS: After 50GB of cellular data or 10GB of hotspot data, speeds may slow during periods of high traffic. UNLIMITED PLUS PREMIUM: After 50GB of hotspot data, speeds may slow during periods of high traffic. Terms and conditions apply, subject to change. Not available in all areas. Spectrum Internet and Auto Pay required for Mobile service. Restrictions apply. ©2026 Charter Communications, all rights reserved.
Let’s take a look at the key features of Spectrum Mobile® that make it worth bundling:
