Walmart Family Mobile or other inexpensive phone plans?
Does anyone have an inexpensive data plan? I currently only have talk and text through AT&T. I'd like to look into a data plan. I'm ok if it's limited....I wont use it all the time (I say that now...haha). I see Walmart has a $30/month plan but don't know much about it. Does anyone use an inexpensive plan, like Walmart, Straight Talk, etc? Thanks!
Re: Walmart Family Mobile or other inexpensive phone plans?
My boss uses Republic Wireless and loves it. It is SUPER cheap, but the smartphone only functions where there is wifi. Call and text works everywhere, and for her that's enough.
I had Straight Talk for about a year. It was okay, but I didn't really have date with it.
I then switched to Walmart Family Mobile...I think that is what it is called, although I wasn't on a family plan. It was TERRIBLE. SO AWFUL. I cannot more strongly advise you against them. At the time, they were $30/mo. for unlimited talk/text and an additional $15/mo. for unlimited data with some of it being at 4G speeds.
I live right in the heart of a medium sized metropolitan city and the data for my plan either wouldn't work at all or it would work for a few minutes at a time and then drop off. And it was NEVER at a 4G speed.
After only 6 months, I finally decided I needed to switch again and bite the bullet on paying for yet another new phone. Then they charged me for an additional six weeks after I switched because they claimed I never informed them to cancel my plan...even though I had and they even admitted they knew I had canceled my plan from when the line switched over.
Okay, Walmart cell service rant over.
I now have Metro PCS. They are fantastic!!! I've had them over a year and no problems at all. Plus they are cheap. I have their $40/plan, which includes unlimited calling, texting, and data. The date is at 4G speeds up to 2GB and is unlimited after that (per month) at 3G speeds. Plus, about six months after I got their service, they raised my data to 4G speed up to 4GB/mo. for no extra charge. Just for being a loyal customer.
If you don't go to one of the major providers, check online for reviews for reception and also find out what their policy is for cancelling should you get poor reception where you live. The reason I bring this up is that we have several small cell phone providers where I live that I think are just local, their reception once you get of the main area is sometimes bad and if you travel a lot, you want something you can use anywhere. Heck I had that problem with t-mobile who is a major carrier. I was constently loosing service in my own home & there was nothing they could do to fix it. All they would offer me is if I returned my phones they wouldn't charge me a cancel fee. However I was out the money I paid for the phones, accessories (charger, case) and the start up fee.
My particular phone minutes/time card plan runs me about $10 a month - but the card is a # of minutes for a specified period of time. There are multiple choices available.
