Thank you! Phone plans
« on: February 04, 2021, 01:37:05 PM »
I wanted to thank everyone who gave advice on phone plans when I was looking to add a line -
We went from a $70 Verizon plan that my wife had, to 2 phones at $19 - same network unlimited text etc.
We used Redpocket and they were great. i was worried I was about to add a $70 monthly liability to my life, and I ended up saving $30/month

Thank you!

Mint Mobile is advertising some good rates for medium data plans; 4, 10 & 15 Gb w/ unlimted talk & text /mo.
Their really good rates are for yearly, pre-paid, but there are 3 mo trial plans at the same rates and there is a starter kit on Amazon for $5 that lets you test out the service with 100MB of LTE data, 100 text messages and 60 minutes of talk time to see how coverage is; you get the $5 back (as a bill credit) if you sign up for the service. https://www.amazon.com/Mint-SIM-Starter-Buy-Verify-Compatibility/dp/B0786RD524
The monthly costs are $15, $20 & $25.  It is 5G or 4G LTE, whichever is strongest.
Mint uses T-mobile, who's coverage doesn't include less -populated areas.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
