Twigby

Twigby is an affordable prepaid cell phone service provider that runs on Verizon’s network. Plans begin as low as $15 per month for 2GB of high-speed data, but you’ll often find a discount available for new customers. Right now, new customers can get $10 off per month for the first three months with any phone plan. Additionally, Twigby recently increased the amount of high-speed data included with its $25 monthly plan from 8GB of high-speed data to 10GB before reduced speeds.

Twigby currently offers four cell phone plans that include high-speed data:

  • 2GB of 4G LTE/5G data for $15/month ($5/month for the first three months)
  • 5GB of 4G LTE/5G data for $20/month ($10/month for the first three months)
  • 10GB of 4G LTE/5G data for $25/month ($15/month for the first three months)
  • 20GB of 4G LTE/5G data for $35/month ($25/month for the first three months)

These plans each include unlimited talk and text as well as unlimited 2G data speeds after you’ve used your monthly allotment of high-speed data. Twigby also offers a cell phone plan with no data for $10/month. This plan includes unlimited talk and text only, and it isn’t eligible for the $10-off new customer offer. Instead, new customers can get this plan for $5/month for the first three months ($10/month going forward).

You can check Twigby’s coverage map and Verizon’s coverage map online to see if you’ll have service in your area. Be sure to also check your cell phone’s compatibility online to see if your current phone will work with Twigby’s network. 

You can cancel your service with Twigby at any time. To learn more about Twigby before you decide to switch, check out our full Twigby review.

AT&T Prepaid

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: 

  • Unlimited talk and text
  • Unlimited high-speed data with 5G access
  • 5GB of mobile hotspot
  • Unlimited texting from the United States to more than 230 countries
  • Unlimited talk and text from the U.S. to Canada and Mexico
  • Use talk, text and data in Canada and Mexico
  • ActiveArmor fraud call blocking and spam alerts

Students can check out the full details of AT&T’s student discount online.

Boost Mobile

New customers can try Boost Mobile’s $25 unlimited plan for 50% off the first month. That makes the plan $12.50. It includes unlimited talk and text, a free SIM kit with free 2-day shipping and 30GB of high-speed data before reduced speeds. The plan renews at $25 per month after the first month. To get this deal, visit Boost Mobile’s website and enter your ZIP code and email to see if your location qualifies.

Boost Mobile and Walmart have also joined forces to provide another deal for new customers. Right now, you can buy a Summit Flip device at Walmart for $129 and get 12 months of service with Boost Mobile included for free. The Summit Flip device comes with a pre-installed Boost Mobile SIM card and 12 months of service with unlimited talk and text and 3GB of data per month.

On Boost Mobile’s website, you’ll also find an offer for a free SIM card with the purchase of a $10 2GB plan. Finally, you can get 5GB for $5 per month for the first three months ($15 total).

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 why I don’t recommend ordering a SIM card online from Boost Mobile before checking your phone’s compatibility in-store, read my full Boost review here.


Boost Infinite

Boost Infinite is a postpaid cell phone service launched by DISH Wireless last year. It’s owned by the same company as Boost Mobile (Review). Its basic unlimited phone plan for $25/month includes the following perks:

  • Unlimited data, talk and text
  • 30GB of high-speed data before slower speeds
  • 5G access (on either AT&T, T-Mobile or Dish’s 5G network)
  • Guaranteed price lock as long as your plan remains active

Right now, Prime members have exclusive access to buy a Boost Infinite unlocked phone SIM kit online at Amazon. You’ll also be eligible for instant savings on the SIM kit as well as a free month of service!

To get this deal, visit Amazon’s website and add the Boost Infinite Unlocked Phone SIM kit to your shopping cart. Be sure you’re signed into your Prime account to access the deal. When you add the SIM kit to your cart, you’ll automatically receive 20% off. Your SIM kit will be sold and shipped through Amazon.

Note that not all phones are compatible with the Boost Infinite SIM kit. According to Boost Infinite, most phones made in the last five years are compatible with the network. Your phone must be unlocked. You can learn more about Boost Infinite’s Amazon Prime deal 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.
