Best idea is to shop and compare. Look around, see what everyone is offering you.
Quality of phones and network, and how much you have to pay for the phones, etc.

Prepaid such as metro PCS and Simple Mobile are cheapest as there are no taxes and fees. A word of advice, simple mobiles Customer service is AWFUL. There is always a 20-30 minute wait and the phone system hangs up on you at the 30 minute mark. Every. Single. Time.

Verizon has a cheap plan. You pay for it monthly. I think it's like $40 a month. A lot of people I know are happy with it.

Page Plus unlimited internet plan is $55 per month

Page plus - The only problem, I can't seem to find a phone that works with their plan. Anyone know where I can buy second hand page plus phones?

We have page plus. It is great because each month you can choose whichever plan you want. So for example this month we are only here for the first week so we bought the $29 instead of the $35 we usually get.

It has great coverage and you can pay online each month.

how do you sign up for this page plus that e/o is talking about? is the service good in lots of different areas? or does it cut you off sometimes? also, do you have to buy a new phone w/ the plan?

AFAIK, page plus does not offer unlimited data. The 55/month plan only give you 1 GB, which is not much for someone who uses more than a minimal amount of data.

We bought Walmart's plan - "straight talk". It's 45 plus tax per month for unlimited and data. You can get cheaper plans too. You have to pay for the phone.
