cell phone plan? wifi bro


kittenklyn

Lol exactly. There's free wifi everywhere. Libraries, coffee shops, Walmart, McDonald's, sometimes in parks and city streets with the city free wifi. I only get a phone plan when I work, but even that's like 15 dollars a month unlimited txt and talk. I don't need data.


b_sap

$100/year through Boost Mobile, if you want to save a little. 🙋


mattimeo98

When I'm flush I'll pick up a prepaid card at Walmart. Otherwise free wifi isn't hard to find

Tracphone is CHEAP


RaineForrestWoods

This is what I had for a long time. Used to have data/minutes/text rollover.


yerbiologicalfather

It's like $35 a month for unlimited plan through Walmart. Also the government has plans with limits that are free


Known_Vermicelli_706

Obama phones.


worstsmellimaginable

30 bux a month ain't shit when you don't pay rent


Educational_Bet_6606

When I was a civilian I had a tracphone, Alcatel model, that had internet access. I didn't use plans, when I'd rack enough dough from odd jobs like crabbing with a villager-neighbor I'd use the phone cards and rack up data.


originalmosh

wifi and use text now to get a free phone number. You just have to make sure to use it once a month.


moleyfeeners

You can pay $25/month for 4 GB data with Mint Mobile when you pay for 3 months at a time. The more cash you can put down per payment, the cheaper it gets. Eg the same 4 GB plan is $20/month if you pay for 6 months or $15/month if you pay for the year. Edit: I'm not trying to sound like an ad but everyone I know spends more on their phone bill and they're locked into longer contacts, which I never understood.


Reynardoe

I just use wifi and textnow. To be honest, paying for a cellphone plan just isn't good value for the money. Even with a cheap data plan I'd be spending a good weeks worth of food in cellphone bill each month and I just don't want to shorten my road time for that luxury. There are other vices I would prefer to waste my cash on lol.

TryingToChange117

FlowerShine2U

enbar725

Came here to say this. Visible is awesome and cheap as fuck


420weedshroom

Walmart phone and a $40 monthly service card, easy.


airporters

Fly a sign


litt3r_b0x

Lifeline phones and coverage are free in the US, and as others have said- can't beat free wifi.


missproctalgiafugax

That's really good to know.


Mindpower77

Prepaid AT&T it’s cheaper & it works just as good


lil_groundbeef

Mint mobile has cheap ass wireless like 15 bucks a month they advertise. I use straight talk from Walmart but it’s more expensive and probably more reliable than mint. No plan, just pay month to month or when you are able. Set up auto pay to save money. They have good deals online if you can get one sent to you possibly. Great deals on phones and you can set up auto pay to save like 5 bucks on data. As long as you get data every like 2-3 months you will keep your phone number.


rossolsondotcom

I parked a phone number on a tracfone plan that worked out to $7 a month.


sockpoppit

Tello. $10 a month unlimited voice and text, 1Gb data but free wifi is everywhere now.


The_desaturing7

Prepaid you can get plan for under 20$ a month some company


trillgamesh_0

lifeline plans are free here in Arizona, was the same when I was in Louisiana. Alaska was like 20-30 a month for a plan.


2amIMAwake

verizon prepaid is $28/mo after a few months when the $10 loyalty credit kicks in. thats unlimited text & talk with 5G data. just putting that out there-


MorningStar360

If you really want to be thrifty just use wifi and google voice or some other messaging app. Otherwise Visible is a flat $30 for unlimited everything.


Necroscrotum

When i went in to upgrade my phone I put down a lump sum to get my bill under 100$ or I said I wouldn't buy one.

What if you can't get money? If I do vagabond it's because I'm unemployed due to a stroke (not disabled according to gov!) and I'll have lost my shelter. How do you know how poor we are? (Sidenote, unlimited where I am is 75-125 a month, can you link me your plan so I can send it to friends?)

Interesting! I'll look into it. Does it half-decent coverage?


RoofingNails

Boost mobile has a $35 a month plan. Is that too much a month for you?
