Visible gets a cheap add-on for international travel
Premium customers can get unlimited talk and text for $10 a day
There are several mobile service carriers to choose from in the US, but you can still end up with a hefty monthly bill depending on your needs. Whether you want unlimited texting or ample data, these companies can nickel-and-dime you, depending on the deal you strike. That being said, more alternatives are popping up to offer similar features at a budget-friendly price. Visible, which operates on Verizon’s network, is one of these options. As its money-savvy customer base continues to grow, the company is expanding upon its offerings.
Depending on your needs, the difference between postpaid and prepaid plans might not be clear. If you want to save some bucks, prepaid phone plans offer better value than postpaid plans. Carriers don't commonly advertise these flexible phone plans, so it's easy to miss them when searching for a new one. The top prepaid phone plans offer similar benefits as postpaid plans but at a more affordable price. It's a smart way to reduce your spending if you're thinking of picking up an inexpensive Android phone. We explain why prepaid plans are cheaper than postpaid and whether you should consider buying one.
T-Mobile may be preparing to make all customers adopt a Go5G plan
Leaked documents suggest the company will allow you to opt out for now
Since its early days as a mobile service provider, T-Mobile has branded itself as an “un-carrier.” The company worked hard to differentiate itself from its competitors, promising customers more flexibility when it comes to everything from add-ons to phone plans. Now that it’s joined the rankings of large service providers, however, T-Mobile seems to be changing its tune. Leaked documents circulating online suggest that the company is planning to force its new plan tier on existing customers, which could amount to costlier monthly bills.
Mint Mobile’s unlimited plan is down to just $15 with this limited-time-only deal
New users can sign up for any plan for only $15
Mint Mobile is the gift that keeps on giving. It was just this past April that the MVNO announced that it was upgrading its data allowances for all its plans, and get this: they did it for free. All existing subscribers got to enjoy a considerable bump in their data caps without doing anything, and the best part is there were no strings attached. And now, in an effort to expand its user base further, Mint Mobile has slashed prices on all its plans, bringing everything down to just $15 — including the unlimited plan. New users can sign up for any plan and pay only $15 a month for the first three months.
Win a new Galaxy S21+ 5G from Ting Mobile (Update: Winner)
Then pair it with a Ting Mobile service plan starting at $10 a month
Just a little more than four months after launch, the Galaxy S21 series are still some of the hottest Android devices on the block, and now one can be yours. This week, our friends at Ting Mobile are giving away a new Samsung Galaxy S21+ phone with 5G. Here’s everything you need to know.
AT&T is making the rounds in the news again and today, it's for altering the meaning of the word "bonus" as we know it. After notifying its Mobile Share Value plan users of an upcoming addition of 15GB of "bonus" data to their plans, the company says members will have to pony up an additional $10 a month to enjoy the "gift." And the only way to refuse the gift is by leaving the party.
Just last week, AT&T took the wraps off its new selectively constrained unlimited plans. While the second largest carrier in the United States sets its sites on a new era of nickeling and diming customers, its sins of the past have finally come to collect their due. As per an unlimited data throttling complaint filed back in 2014, the FTC has determined that AT&T must cough up $60 million in damages, plus openly disclose all future restrictions placed on its data plans.
Just when you thought "unlimited" meant unlimited, AT&T makes an announcement to remind us all that's not exactly true. Just in case the current unlimited plans offered by America's second largest carrier weren't enough, there are three more options rolling out in November.
Every day we seem to be inundated with ads about who has the absolute cheapest data plan. Online, television, billboards, junk mail, even old-fashioned radio - it seems I can't go five minutes without each carrier telling me how much cheaper they are than everyone else, going so far as to hire old Verizon spokesmen and make dubious claims about reliability.
