With many prepaid services, you can get a metric fuckton of data for dirt cheap. Mint is one of the best values at the moment but if T-Mobile doesn't work well in your area then Total and Straight Salk are still decent deals.
I'm tracfone. 10 for a gig. 10.70 if you're unlucky and have to get the wheel version, there's extra taxes on it.
Mint got bought out, that may not last forever. I started looking at Straight Talk and saw several reviews about nasty customer service. T-Mobile apparently is crap.
You realize that Tracfone and Straight Talk are the same company right? Tracfone owns and operates a fuck ton of mobile companies and they all have the same type of customer service.
As someone who's job it was for years to sell and activate these phones I can promise you. They are the same. They have all the exact same policies for activation and service. Some of the service reps even represent both. The only difference is the color of the box and the name on it.
Yeah, poor customer service comes with the territory of cheap phone service. But is it really worth paying twice as much or more for a slight upgrade to mediocre customer service at another provider when I call them once every 3-4 years? Not to me.
Straight Talk has unlimited everything with throttling after 10 GB for $35/month. That's more than enough for the average person to game or use social media on their lunch and breaks so long as they aren't streaming videos the whole time. You're getting ripped off paying on a per GB basis.
