Tello.com On the T Mobile network for $14/month
The wife and I have had Tracfone for probably 20 years. I finally changed mine to an unlimited plan for about $22 a month. I hardly ever text, make 20 calls a month and have data left over, but I do all my net surfing on my computer. My wife has the same, except she is always on her text and many calls, but doesn’t use data. We have had good luck with Tracfone.
Visible wireless is 25$ a month and you get unlimited talk/txt/data the data here is just 4g but I live in the sticks.
They let you connect to the phone using wifi and use the internet on a tablet or pc (hotspot) but that is limited to like 5kbps or just fast enough to watch maybe a 720p youtube but that’s enough for a lot of folks. The data to the phone itself is much higher and works well, at least in my area.
My wife and I have similar cell usage as you.
We have used Tracfone for more than 20 years.
It costs about $100 a year for each of us (2 x $100). We have plenty of minutes and texts. If you need more texts you can buy 1000 more for $5, and 1 gigabyte of broadband for $10.
You should talk to your neighbors. Cell phone coverage can be VERY important. We just changed to verizon, because coverage for Sprint resulted in dropped calls in our area of far north Phoenix.
With Sprint I had to stand on the front porch of our Payson, Arizona cabin just to get a dial tone.
Yes!!
We’ve had PureTalk for almost a year. No problems at all anywhere ever.
You cannot beat the price and the service is tops.
Take a look at Visible. It’s on the Verizon network, unlimited data.
ping for later.
Highly recommended, good luck!
I have had Tracfone for years and it runs about $5 per month. I buy phones through QVC/HSN because they usually include the 1200-1500 minutes and 365 service. The minutes roll over as long as the service remains active.
Tracfone is now owned by Verizon and runs on their network.
I pay about 12.00 a month with tracfone. I have used tracfone for 10 years maybe. They have a lot of plans. I don’t use my phone for much. What makes them different is their data and texts roll over, they accumulate. I have thousands of texts and thousands of minutes of data I could never run out.

I like consumer cellular but they were bought out several months ago...time will tell.
It's $5 for every GB used on the internet. But, any data used on one's WiFi doesn't count toward the data used.
There are some good options listed in the thread.
I pay $38/month with all taxes, but I get:
- Unlimited text and talk.
- 100 GB High Speed data (5G), high priority, with unlimited 5G beyond 100 GB, but can be reduced priority.
- 60 GB Hot Spot 5G high priority data
- Free roaming in Canada and Mexico
Monthly Hulu
- Some credit toward new phones every two years.
I’m with T-Mobile.
We started with AMAC-Seniors vs AARP liberals. AMAC gave us a discount when signing up for PURETALK. So I get minimum data usage and seldom turn on my cellphone. It runs around 11.00 /mo.
My wife and I both have Pure talk and are happy with with it. If I recall correctly, it’s veteran-owned.
I have had Tracfone for around 20 years. I pay $20 for 3 months, that is less than $7/month. I use data when I use the phone for Apple maps. But Tracfone reduced the rate they charge for data. It was $10/GB they reduced it recently to $10/3GB.
We get our phone and Internet via T-Mobile on the Magenta+ plan.
There some cheaper plans but excellent customer service. The ability to use data (Internet) in 210 counties is useful to us as we travel a lot. It also comes with a Netflix subscription and MLB.com subscription if those are important to you
My wife and I are going through the same process. Consumer Reports has a good report on which low cost providers use what services (e.g.: Verizon towers) so if you have good Verizon service in your area, you might look into one of the low cost services aligned with them.
Its nearly impossible to do a “side by side” comparison and Consumer Reports acknowledges that as well.
