Cell phone plans can get exceedingly complicated, so Comcast's pitch for Xfinity Mobile's simplicity is rather appealing — particularly at a time when everything is more expensive than ever. Today, the company is announcing two simple plans priced at $30 and $45 a month that have some serious perks for their prices.

I'm trying to figure out if there's a catch, but the company's representatives were very adamant about "anytime upgrades" being as uncomplicated as they said.
Similarly, the Plus plan also includes lifetime device protection, another thing that most carriers charge separately for. This extends to any connected device on your plan like sma
