The 55+ plan includes unlimited data but does not include hotspot capability. If you don't use much data you might be able to find a cheaper plan.

Coverage has been good. There may be one or two places where I haven't been able to get a signal but they were inside a rec center or other building. At my house my phone generally prefers wifi calling though I do have an adequate signal.
Note that the rec centers have free wifi service. Logon once with your Villages ID and golf pin, and you will get automatic access every time you enter any rec center.

Also, if you have Xfinity internet service, you could save a lot of money using the Xfinity Mobile cell phone service and have the Verizon network, which has always been rated the best of the four national networks. My monthly bill is only $13.60.
