Looking for an affordable cell phone plan? You’re in luck. We sorted through the options for you to find the top contenders. Here they are.
Mint Mobile
Mint Mobile offers the best value for money when it comes to affordable cell phone plans. The company’s 4GB plan costs just about $15 per month — a real steal! After the first three months, however, you’ll need to sign up for a year of service to continue enjoying the discounted rate. So, use the first three months to determine whether or not this plan works for you. Keep in mind that Mint also offers its customers 5G access and hotspot data.
Tello Economy
Tello offers the cheapest of the cheap with their cell phone plans. For $10 a month, you can get unlimited calls and texts, free mobile tethering, contract-free service. However, you only have 1 GB of data. This plan is ideal for anyone who only uses their cell phone casually and doesn’t rely on it for business purposes.
T-Mobile Connect
T-Mobile Connect supplies you with 2.5GB of data at a price of $15 (with an extra 5GB annually). This low-cost plan also includes unlimited calls and texts and 5G access. However, once you hit your data cap, you’re out of data until your next cycle begins.
Verizon
“Verizon” and “affordable” are two words that don’t usually go together. And, $40 per month might seem pricey for a prepaid phone plan, but hang on—Verizon will take five dollars off after you enroll in autopay and another five when you stay with the service for three months. That brings your monthly cost down to $30 overtime. One of the perks of this plan is that it gives you access to Verizon’s fast LTE speeds and outstanding 5G coverage (only customers on the $70/month Unlimited Plus plan can access the fastest 5G, which is now more widely available).
Visible
Visible doesn’t go out of its way to offer prepaid plans, but it does have a pretty reasonable deal: unlimited data for half the cost of what a big carrier would charge. Plus, as an MVNO that piggybacks on a major carrier’s network, you can get Verizon’s speedy 5G should you switch over. You can see if Visible works for you by taking advantage of the carrier’s free 15-day trial.
