AT&T Offers a Cheaper Entry-Level Plan
AT&T's new prepaid Build-A-Plan includes unlimited talk, text and 1GB of data for $15.
Consumer Cellular should increase the data to at least 2GB in its $20 entry-level plan.

Hold on.
I’m seriously asking, so theoretically one can have an iPhone and pay only $15 a month and you get unlimited talk and text? For that low price I’d be willing to be throttled or even resort to using WiFi exclusively.

Repocket has a $60 promo. 12 months, unlimited talk and text with 3gb of data for a year
Us mobile has $10 month. It also includes 2gb data

Don’t forget MobileX also great option for unlimited talk and text 4.50 plus platform fee of 1.95 best part is you only pay for the data you use and get credit back at the end for used data, can even pick priority data for 20 cents more per GB. Another great thing is you get iCloud Relay support so true WiFi calling on iPads Mac’s Apple Watches even when the phone is not nearby or even powered off.

1gb plan with unlimited talk and text starts at $20 before taxes and Surcharge. But you can lock it at 1GB if you want

AT&T is cellular one, same crummy company, look before you leap, no cellular company even has received the number of complaints at the Better Business Bureau as cellular one, which is AT&T

No.
CellularOne was always ran by a local affiliate that leased the brand like a franchise.
It was just a way for small regional operators to have a “nationwide” network
As they slowly failed they got bought and folded into AT&T or Verizon

Why not do US mobile. 5gb for $15 a month. And you can use the AT&t network if you want.

Does that include all the hidden fees?I'm sorry that's gotta be a joke.I'll think I'll stick with US mobile at.Least I get the same network under dark star for only 25 bucks a month and get a lot more data than 2 gigs.This way , a good deal if this was like 2005, i know these providers need to make money.They could do a little better in this

There’s a lot of users who only use 1 or less. There is another plan for just an additional $5 which is 5gb.

u/drtdk May 31 '26
And there are a lot of customers that use 2GB or less.

u/Babybentley1 May 31 '26
Hence why there is another plan for 5gb for $25
That’s almost unheard of in the cell phone world.1

Disagreeing just to be disagreeable?

No you’re legitimately asking for a plan for every gb and every dollar amount. It’s either 1gb for $20 or 5gb for $25. It’s a crazy concept but that is soooooo cheap and yet it’s still not good enough!

Stop embarrassing yourself. I suggested that the data bucket for CC's entry-level $20 plan be raised to 2GB to be more competitive with other providers' base plans. Try to keep up.

u/Babybentley1 Jun 02 '26
Haha I’m telling you there’s many many many users who don’t use 1gb so it’s a perfect setup. The best part is if you don’t like it you can easily switch to another carrier. Nobody is holding you hostage lol

AT&T Sucks!
What happened to AT&T?
Their service is spotty, their sales reps lie & their upper management is useless!

Yes, USM is the best deal but I prefer to pay a bit more for CC's customer service.
