CONSUMER
CELLULAR
Consumer Cellular gets good reviews, but the only way to get a deal is to either sign up for an AARP Discount on their own web site, or find a cheaper carrier that uses AT&T like Red Pocket Mobile.  Google Fi doesn't offer many deals but you can get cheaper Google Fi Pixel Phones at Amazon. Since Google uses Wi-Fi first, you would get a better connection and better deal if you used a service that uses Wi-Fi Calling only when you need it, and a better selection of actual cellular networks like US Mobile.  H2O has been a price leader and gives you a choice of the AT&T or Verizon networks. They only have a few phone choices on their own web site but you can also get Cheaper Phones for H2O Wireless at Amazon.  STRAIGHT
TALK
Straight Talk was created as an exclusive product sold at Wal-Mart so we direct you to the deals at Walmart's Wireless Store. Straight Talk is priced substantially above average among Prepaids although they offer a $25 Unlimited plan when you buy refills at Walmart. Straight Talk is owned by Verizon and uses their network, excluively.  T-MOBILE
PREPAID
T-Mobile Prepaid looks too much like T-Mobile's regular plans. To get a better-priced service, look at T-Mobile's sister Prepaid, Metro by T-Mobile, or one of the many independent wireless providers that use the T-Mobile network but are not owned by T-Mobile like Red Pocket Mobile.  ULTRA MOBILE
Ultra Mobile is a variation of T-Mobile's Prepaids. A better choice among those is Mint Mobile. Otherwise, you can buy cheaper, Ultra Mobile-compatible phones at Amazon. |
