While the US has three major carriers \u2013 AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon \u2013 they aren\u2019t always the cheapest. You see, phone plans are mostly split into two categories, prepaid and postpaid. Prepaid is where you pay for your service before you use it, Postpaid is paying for it after you get the service. Naturally, prepaid normally has no credit check, while postpaid does.
\nThe other big difference is that postpaid generally offers more features, and they also get priority on the network. This is important in areas that are very congested. Typically, postpaid customers get priority, followed by the carrier\u2019s own prepaid customers and then MVNOs.
\nSo, I\u2019ve said all that to say that you can be spending a lot less on your phone bill every month. And we are here to show you the best cheap phone plans that are currently available.
\nThe best cheap cell phone plan<\/p>\n

Our pick for the best cheap cell phone plan goes to Mint Mobile. There\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019ve heard of them before. They\u2019ve done quite a few popular commercials with Ryan Reynolds (who has a stake in the company).
\nMint Mobile is our pick for the best cheap phone plan because you can get service for just $15 per month. Now there is an asterisk there. As Mint Mobile has you pay 3 months at a time, so you\u2019re paying $45 for three months of service (which equals $15 per month). That\u2019s still a fraction of what you\u2019d pay at the big carriers though.
\nMint Mobile offers unlimited talk and text along with 4GB of data (on 5G and 4G LTE networks) here for $15 per month. There are other plans that offer 10GB, 15GB and unlimited data (unlimited will slow after 35GB per month).
\nIt\u2019s also important to note here that Mint Mobile runs on T-Mobile\u2019s network.
\nThe cheapest phone plan<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, there are plans that are even cheaper than Mint Mobile, and that would be\u00a0 b. You can actually get a plan that is as low as $5 per month. Which offers 500MB of data and no call minutes. But the more popular plan will be $10 which is 1GB of data and unlimited minutes.
\nTello lets you choose how many minutes you want, this is good for those that don\u2019t talk on the phone much. And also your data. Which includes 500MB, 1GB, 2GB, 5GB, 10GB and Unlimited. Unlimited talk, text and data will cost you $29. Which is not bad at all.
\nTell Mobile runs on T-Mobile\u2019s network as well.
\nThe best plan running on AT&T\u2019s network<\/p>\n

All of the carriers have their own MVNO\u2019s these days, and AT&T has Cricket, which is a really impressive MVNO.
\nCricket has plans that start at just $30 per month. This includes 5GB of data and unlimited talk and text. Plans go up to $60 for unlimited data and 15GB of mobile hotspot. You can also get just unlimited data (without a hotspot) for $55 per month. Customers on Cricket\u2019s most expensive plan also get HBO Max (with ads) included for free. So it may be worth it to spend that extra $5 for the more expensive unlimited plan.
\nAs mentioned, Cricket does run on AT&T\u2019s network. And unlike some of the other MVNOs out there, Cricket will get priority since AT&T owns it as well.
\nThe best plan running on Verizon\u2019s network<\/p>\n

Visible is an interesting MVNO (owned by Verizon). It markets itself as an app, and not as a carrier. Because it uses eSIM, it is super easy to switch over and get started with Visible. And because it uses Verizon, that means that you can bring over virtually any unlocked phone to use on Verizon\u2019s network.
\nVisible has two plans, Visible and Visible+. The regular Visible plan is $30 per month and only includes the basics. That\u2019s unlimited talk, text, data and hotspot. The caveat on the hotspot is that speeds are limited to just 5Mbps. You\u2019ll also get unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada.
\nVisible+ offers all that, plus a bit more for $45 per month. You also get 5G Ultra Wideband (that\u2019s C-Band and mmWave). As well as unlimited talk, text and data roaming in Mexico and Canada, International calling from US to 30+ countries and International texting from US to 200+ countries. So those that travel a lot or have families in other countries in North America, the Visible+ plan is worth the price.
\nThese prices all come with taxes and fees included too.
\nThe best plan running on T-Mobile\u2019s network<\/p>\n

Finally, we have Metro by T-Mobile. Also owned by T-Mobile, as you might expect from the name. This is formerly MetroPCS, and finally renamed to Metro by T-Mobile a couple years ago.
\nMetro by T-Mobile has three plans available, all of which are unlimited. Starting at $40 per month. And if you\u2019re eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program, you can get up to $30 off.
\nThe first unlimited plan is $40 per month and gives you unlimited talk, text and data. As well as access to T-Mobile Tuesdays, Scamshield and a 1-year subscription to Vix.
\nNext up is a $50 per month plan which includes everything from the cheaper plan, but you get 5GB of hotspot data, and 100GB of Google One storage. Finally, there\u2019s the $60 per month plan, which includes everything from the cheaper $50 plan, but hotspot data is bumped up to 15GB, and you also get Amazon Prime included. Which is a really big deal.
\nOf course, Metro by T-Mobile runs on T-Mobile\u2019s network and does get access to its full 5G network.
