Is Bundling Cox Internet and Mobile Worth It?

You'll save money with Cox Mobile but might miss premium features

Cox Internet customers can add mobile phone service to their plan at low prices—and they should strongly consider it. Adding Cox Mobile costs as low as $15 per month if you choose to pay by the gigabit, or $45 per month if you want unlimited data.

That’s a lot less per line than you would pay with the big three providers, even with family plans. Cox Mobile uses the Verizon cell network, so these plans come with excellent coverage throughout the U.S.

Cox piggybacks on Verizon’s 4G LTE and 5G network for its mobile phone service. That means Cox Mobile subscribers get to take advantage of the most widespread network in the U.S. However, Cox customers might notice their speeds are deprioritized compared to folks who sign up directly with Verizon.

Lucky for Cox Internet customers, all Cox Mobile plans let you use your smartphone as a hotspot when you’re out and about. You’ll share your phone’s data with this hotspot data. That’s a nice benefit, because a lot of mobile providers put strict limits on smartphone hotspot data.

But it gets even better! Cox customers can sign on to more than three million public Cox hotspots throughout the country. If you bundle your mobile phone with Cox and stay within a Cox service area, you’re virtually guaranteed internet access any time of day.

Should you bundle a Cox Mobile plan with Cox Internet?

If you already have Cox’s internet service, signing up for Cox Mobile makes a lot of sense. The service is nearly as impressive as the big carrier mobile plans but for much less. All plans are unlimited talk and text in the US (excluding territories), and the data rates are adequate. On top of all that, Cox Mobile uses the Verizon network, so you receive superb cell service with Cox Mobile, especially in rural areas.

The only downsides are deprioritized coverage compared to Verizon customers and fewer deals on smartphones.

Pros:

  • Great pricing
  • Excellent cell service (Verizon network)
  • Easy onboarding

Cons:

  • Requires Cox Internet
  • Limited plan options
  • Fewer deals on devices

Cox Mobile signup and onboarding

Signing up for Cox Mobile is easy. You can complete the whole process online in minutes, and Cox ships your mobile onboarding kit to your residence. You can bring your own phone or purchase a new one through Cox. Cox also offers Asurion device protection plans.

Fine print and fees

Cox charges a one-time $10 device activation fee that is added to your first bill. And regarding data, only the first 20GB of data on either of Cox’s two mobile plans are premium data. Once you reach the limit, your speeds will slow to a barely usable 1.5Mbps for the rest of the month.

Cox vs. the competition

Mobile phone plans from Cox offer service that’s nearly as good as what you’d get from a big carrier, but a whole lot cheaper.

There are other Mobile + Internet deals to be had, but price-wise, Cox tends to come out ahead of those as well.

Cox’s Unlimited Mobile plan, along with a 500Mbps internet plan, comes in at the same price as a similar offering from T-Mobile. But where T-Mobile makes up for it is in mobile plan variety and easy internet setup.

What’s best for you depends on your specific location but if price is your top concern, Cox is tough to beat.
