More for Less: The Wireless Affordability Tracker

The wireless industry, fueled by continual innovation and vigorous competition, has a long track record of delivering ever greater value to American consumers. CTIA’s 2026 Wireless Affordability Tracker surveys advertised unlimited plans and more affordable prepaid options, as well as a variety of government data, all showing wireless prices declining. Wireless is helping fight inflation, allowing consumers to spend more elsewhere. What’s more, wireless networks keep getting better. Every year, Americans get faster speeds, more data, and better service, all while prices decline—wireless delivers more for less.
