About Contact How we work Privacy Terms

On prices. Every figure here was correct on the day it was published and we say when that was. Tariffs move, promotions expire and carriers change terms without notice, so check the current price before you buy anything on the strength of an article.

On sources. We work from filings, tariffs, official announcements and the documents themselves. Where a number comes from somewhere, we link to where.

On AI. Some drafting here uses AI tools. A named editor reads and stands behind everything before it goes out, and the byline is a real person you can look up.

Not advice. This is journalism about what things cost, not a recommendation to buy or switch. Outbound links are there so you can check us, not because we endorse what is on the other end.
