A family plan that can bring your bill to $0.

Cape's Extended Family Plan doesn't link identities. Instead, it works like a referral program:

01

Share your unique code with anyone (family, friends, that guy from Reddit).

02

Each time someone signs up with your code, you both get $10 off your monthly bill.

03

Get 10 active referrals, and your plan is completely free.

It's privacy protected, flexible, and works for any "family" you choose.

    Cape is the best and first actually privacy-focused mobile carrier i've ever encountered. Dependable enough for mobile hotspot data when I need it, and I've seen as much as I've needed, to be convinced of their importance.
