Looking to save money on your cell phone plan? We cover the best prepaid plan options and explain precisely what you get for your money.
There was once a time when prepaid cell phone plans meant getting only basic calling features and limited data. Thankfully, that’s changed. Many of today’s prepaid plans offer many of the same core features of the best cell postpaid phone plans, including high-speed 5G data, unlimited calling and texting, and even international roaming — all without the need to commit to a contract.
Best value prepaid phone plan Mint Mobile Unlimited Since it runs on T-Mobile’s 5G Ultra Capacity network, Mint Mobile is one of the fastest and most reliable prepaid 5G plans available. However, it’s also one of those ironic situations where you’ll only get the best deal by making a longer-term commitment.
The Mint Mobile Unlimited plan still has a 40GB data cap, which means you’ll experience slower speeds if you use more than that in a month. The same is true for its 5GB, 15GB, or 20GB plans, so you can save a bit more money if you know you won’t need as much high-speed data on a regular basis.
Unlike most carriers, Visible doesn’t have a specific threshold where it will slow down your data speeds. Although mobile hotspot speeds are capped at 5Mbps and only allow for a single connected device, surfing from your smartphone will always operate at the fastest 5G speeds available on Verizon’s 5G Nationwide network. However, you may sometimes experience slowdowns during busier times of the day to make way for Verizon customers.
Metro by T-Mobile also still offers some “Heritage” plans that may be worth checking out if you’re looking for other perks, including one that includes an Amazon Prime membership. However, you’ll have to contact customer service or visit a store to sign up for these. As Cricket says, this is a “no-frills” plan, so you won’t get a mobile hotspot without paying for an extra add-on, but it does include unlimited texting to 37 countries and 2GB of cloud storage for your photos. You can also step up to the next tier for an extra $5/month for a single line or $30/month more for four lines to get 15GB of mobile hotspot data, 150GB of cloud storage, and a bundled Max with Ads subscription.
Since Tello’s plans are customizable and there are no contracts, you can also easily switch things up from month to month as your needs change. $14/month will get you 2GB of data, while you can go unlimited for $29/month.
