Mobile phone plans today can be very
expensive. With cell phone carries like Verizon Wireless, AT&T, and
others data plans can cost you up to $50 per month or as low as $20 per
month. Even at $20 per month this can be very expensive, especially if
you have more than one mobile phone in your home that has to have a data
plan. Fortunately, there are other alternatives out there that can be
much cheaper.
Straight Talk
Walmart’s Straight Talk Prepaid Plan is
one mobile plan that you may find cheaper than the main cell phone
providers. You can typically get a smartphone with Straight Talk for
around $30 to $45 per month. This includes unlimited talk, text, and
data. This makes it much cheaper than the big cell phone providers. One
good thing about this plan is you have no contract to sign so you can
easily stop any time you want. They also have many phones available for
you to choose from. Most of these phones use the same towers as Verizon
Wireless, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile.
Cricket
Cricket is another prepaid phone plan
where you can get a mobile phone and pay around $45 per month for
unlimited talk, data and text. You are not required to sign any kind of
contract so you can stop any time you want. They have many phones
available, including Apple’s iPhone. The phones may be a little more
expensive, but you save a lot of money on your cell phone bill each
month.
Boost Mobile
Boost Mobile may be the best prepaid
cell phone plan out there right now. They have many phones available for
you to choose from. You can pay a flat rate of $50 per month for
unlimited talk, data and text. This is much cheaper than any cell phone
provider that you can find, and you also do not have to sign any kind of
contract. This means you can stop paying any time you need to. This can
be very helpful if you run into financial problems, and need to put
your phone on hold for a month or two.
Using prepaid mobile phones is becoming
more popular. This is because the big cell phone providers are charging
so much more money for their data plans. You would typically have to pay
$30 for unlimited texting for the family, and then another $30 per
phone for a data plan. This can add up very quickly and become very
expensive.
