Prepaid Cell Phone Plans

Prepaid cell phone plans are often referred to as "pay as you go" because you pay before you use. Many MVNOs are prepaid so there are no surprises on your bill at the end of the month. Get the service you need and stay within your budget today.

Prepaid Phone Plan Questions

Why should you use a no contract cell phone plan?

No contract phone plans are a great way to save money on your wireless bill. Not being locked down to a specific plan or carrier means that you have the freedom to switch things up if you ever find a better deal. The best part is that these smaller carriers let you access some of the same networks as the bigger carriers — but at a fraction of the price.

Why are there no prepaid plans with unlimited data?

Part of the reason why no contract cell phone plans are so cheap is that they are tailor-made for the way most people use their phones. As a result, most no contract plans offer unlimited data, but they limit the amount of high-speed data you get each month. That said, there are certain prepaid carriers that do offer truly unlimited data for a slight premium. To find out more, be sure to visit our roundups of the best prepaid carriers on the AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint networks.
