If you don’t qualify for any free phones from the government, you’ve still got some cheap cell phone options and cheap cell phone plans to choose from.
And you can check out the FreedomPop Free plan, which offers 10 minutes of talk, 10 text messages, and 25 MB of data every 30 days. All you need to pay is $10 for the SIM kit—that’s it.
Tello Economy plan
The cheapest cell phone plan we’ve come across that includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texting, and at least 1 GB of data is Tello’s Unlimited Text, Talk, and 1GB plan for $10 a month. The network coverage isn’t the best, but the price is dirt cheap.
US Mobile Unlimited Talk and Text plan
The only way to bring your bill lower than $10 a month is to throw out your data plan altogether. If you know you don’t want to pay for any wireless data, the US Mobile Unlimited Talk and Text plan at $3 a month (for the first six months) is your best bet. Bonus, US Mobile operates on both T-Mobile and Verizon networks, which offer excellent coverage.
