Visible

Team Clark’s Review Network: Verizon Wireless Deal: Get $20 off your first month of Visible+ (new customers only); Get $5 off Visible or $10 off Visible+ every month for the first two years (new customers only); Visible’s new annual plans include a discount of up to 26% Savings: $5-$240

Visible currently offers two monthly cell phone plans: Visible ($25) and Visible+ ($45). Recently, the company announced that customers can prepay for either of these plans for a year in advance and get a significant discount. The basic Visible annual plan costs $275 per year ($22.92 per month); a savings of $25 over a year. The Visible+ annual plan costs $395 per year ($32.92 per month); a savings of $145 over a year!

Annual plans are currently available to new customers, and existing Visible customers should gain access this month. You can learn more about Visible’s new annual plans here.

If you aren’t already a Visible customer, I recommend trying out the service for a shorter time before committing to a year. Fortunately, Visible is currently offering $20 off your first month of Visible+. That makes it the same price as Visible’s basic unlimited plan!

New members can join Visible anytime before July 31 and sign up for the monthly Visible+ plan to get your first month for $25. You can either bring your own device or buy a new one through Visible, but I recommend bringing your own unlocked phone to save the most. When you’re checking out, enter the promo code VIP20. This will give you $25 off your first month of service. You can check out the full details of this deal on Visible’s website.

Finally, Visible is offering a third deal for new customers. Now through August 21, new customers can sign up for Visible and get a monthly discount on either plan for the first two years.

With this deal, new customers can get Visible’s basic unlimited plan for $20/month or Visible+ for $35/month for the first 24 months of service. That’s a $5 monthly savings on Visible’s basic plan and a $10 monthly savings on Visible+. Use promo code CHAMP when checking out to get this deal on either plan.

Before you switch to Visible, check your phone’s compatibility online and make sure you’ll have service in your area by checking Visible’s coverage map. If you have a compatible phone, you can also sign up for a 15-day free trial of Visible without leaving your current carrier. This is a great way to decide whether or not the service will work for you!

I had a great experience testing out Visible myself, and if Verizon has strong service in your area, Visible could be a great way to access those towers for a fraction of the cost. To read about my experience using Visible, check out our full Visible review.

H2O Wireless

Team Clark’s Review Network: AT&T Deal: Get 50% off your first month on any monthly unlimited plan (new customers only) Savings: $10-$30

Tello Mobile

Team Clark’s Review Network: T-Mobile Deal: New customers & new lines can get 5GB of high-speed data for $10 the first month Savings: $4

Tello Mobile is an affordable prepaid cell phone service provider that runs on T-Mobile’s network. Plans from Tello Mobile begin as low as $5 per month, but this plan doesn’t include any high-speed data. However, you can get 1GB of high-speed data plus unlimited talk and text for $9 per month, which has won Tello the title of the cheapest monthly cell phone plan on Clark.com. For $10 per month, you can get 2GB of high-speed data per month.

Now through July 31, new customers can get 5GB of high-speed data plus unlimited talk and text for $10 their first month of service. That’s the same price as Tello’s 2GB plan, but you’ll get more than double the amount of high-speed data. Tello’s 5GB plan typically costs $14 per month, which means you’ll save $4 the first month. After your first month of service, the plan rate returns to normal.

Unlike a lot of MVNOs, Tello Mobile’s plans do come with a hard data cap. Once you’ve used your allotted high-speed data for the month, you won’t have any access to mobile data for the remainder of the bill cycle.

Tello Mobile is a prepaid service, which means you can cancel your plan at anytime. Before you decide to make the switch, make sure your phone is compatible with Tello’s network. You can also read our full Tello Mobile review to learn more.

AT&T Prepaid

Team Clark’s Review Network: AT&T Deal: Online, students can save $10 per month on unlimited. Savings: $10 per month ($120 per year)

Opting for a prepaid phone plan is a great way to lower your phone bill even if you want to stick with a major carrier. If you’re eligible for additional discounts, that’s another great way to stack the savings!

For example, AT&T Prepaid offers an online-only deal for students with a valid school email address. The student discount includes the AT&T Prepaid Unlimited plan for $40 per month with autopay. The AT&T Prepaid Unlimited plan typically costs $65 monthly, but customers can get the plan for $50 monthly with autopay. The $10 student discount brings the total price to $40/month!

Here’s what you can expect with the AT&T Prepaid Unlimited Plan:

Boost Mobile

Team Clark’s Review Network: Boost Mobile, T-Mobile & AT&T Deals: New plans start at $25/month for unlimited service Savings: Varies

Boost Mobile and Boost Infinite have recently merged to become one cell phone service provider under Boost Mobile’s new brand. The company has also launched its own 5G network while still partnering with AT&T and T-Mobile to provide coverage to 99% of the country.

Until now, Boost Mobile has offered prepaid phone plans beginning as low as $8.33/month (paid annually). Alternatively, Boost Infinite has offered postpaid plans beginning as low as $25 for unlimited talk, text and data. Now, Boost Mobile offers both prepaid and postpaid unlimited plans that begin at $25/month. 

Here are Boost Mobile’s newest plans along with their prices, features and additional perks:

All of Boost Mobile’s plans include unlimited talk, text and data. Once you’ve hit your monthly high-speed data limit, speeds will be reduced to 512Kbps.

If you do plan on switching to Boost Mobile, I recommend taking your phone to a Boost Mobile store and checking its compatibility in person before switching. To learn more about Boost Mobile before you decide to make the switch, read my full Boost review here.

Final Thoughts

Switching to a new cell phone service provider is a great way to get a deal and reduce your monthly phone bill. In addition to looking for deals directly from service providers, check cash back offers on your credit card. I once got a month of service from Cricket Wireless for less than $16 with a Chase cash back offer!

Before you make the switch, take the time to make sure your phone is compatible with the carrier you’re switching to. Most cell phone service providers have tools on their websites for you to check your phone’s compatibility by entering its IMEI number. If your phone isn’t compatible, consider whether or not it’s still worth the savings if you have to buy a new phone. 

Also, make sure that you’ll have service in your area with your new company by checking out its coverage map online. In most cases, you can enter your home address or ZIP code to get an idea of whether you’ll be covered.

If you’re switching to take advantage of a limited-time deal, be sure to cancel your service before the plan renews or be prepared to pay normal prices if the deal expires after a few months. You can check out our full list of tips on how to switch cell phone carriers here.
