Best prepaid phone plans in 2021
There are plenty of phone plans available in the US. While most Americans subscribe to services directly from AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon, a number of smaller providers can get you solid service for a cheaper rate. Whereas the main carriers now focus primarily on unlimited plans, these smaller carriers still offer a variety of plans with set allotments of data.
There are a ton of providers, but for the purposes of this story I'm going to focus on just a few: Boost Mobile, Cricket, Mint, Google Fi, Tracfone, Metro by T-Mobile, Verizon Prepaid and AT&T Prepaid. Since these carriers have so many different plan options, I'm also going to focus on the best options for under 5GB of data, under 10GB of data and unlimited plans.
