I notice you never include Metro by TMobile in the Best Cell Phone Plan deals each month. It’s Bring Your Own Phone Plan is 25.00 per month total with taxes and fees included. Unlimited data..may slow down during congestion after using 35 gigs 5g data but full speed again when congestion is over thus unlimited data… In Seattle, never a problem with slowing down.

I’ve had Red Pocket for 5 months. $10 for 1 Gig data and unlimited talk and text. I use WiFi at home, so I rarely use any data and have never come even close to using my 1 GB. If I need to add data, I can easily do so without affecting my plan. Customer service is via phone or chat and it’s very good.

That plan is now $15 I believe, but it’s well worth it.

I brought my own phone to FreedomPop and I have a warning.
Do not touch FreedomPop!! You can get your first month free with their free plan their basic 200 or whatever. But if you run out of data you cannot buy any more data. AT ALL. you have to purchase another plan. The trick here is that the only other plan that is available, the next one up in the line is 11.99 a month but they’re going to bill you for a full year you can’t do it month-by-month you have to pay the entire year. Anytime you run out of data you have no more. you have to buy another plan it’s a rip-off. (they also keep a $20 emergency top up routine when they say it’s only 10 and you have $10 selected and they bill you $20 instead? No. The top up routine is if you go over your allotted gigabytes of data, it dings you at $0.02 a megabyte after that. And it won’t let you have any less than $5 pay reserve and you get no warning, it just automatically takes it out of your account for your method of payment. And if you cancel the auto-pay it cost you more money.)
Do you want to voice mail? That’s extra. do you want to be able to send pictures in your text messages? That’s also extra. do you want to send multiple people the same text? That’s also an extra charge. this is a perfect cell plan for someone who *never* uses a phone except for emergencies. That’s it.
they have no technical support telephone number, no human being you can speak to on a phone you have to do everything by email. I did that as I brought my phone number in and they took too long to port it in and so now I can’t have my phone number that I’ve had for the last 13 years.
Steer clear if you use data a lot. (At all)
(the only thing I do with data is stream Pandora and check email and look at Facebook. That gig was gone in a couple of days there’s no way to recover it until I wait for the next billing cycle and I’m not going to. Finding a different service.
(Which of course is the reason I’m on this website great deals here take FreedomPop off your site that’s ridiculous)

Whatever you do don’t fall for the boost promotions. I got screwed out of the 2 months free when you switch from metro pcs. Boost Mobile told me it doesn’t exist. And then took my $20 credit out of my account and couldn’t tell me why. So don’t write articles on their promos. They are cons at best.
