5 No-Contract Carriers With Unique Cellular Savings

There are so many different pre-paid, contract-free wireless carriers in America that you could try a new one every month for a whole year.

That would be a terrible idea, though, when when you consider that most offer the same thing: unlimited talk and text and a bucket of data, priced significantly lower than the big carriers.

There’s not much distinguishing StraightTalk from Cricket Wireless from Net10 in pricing or coverage, for instance. (They all charge $40 to $45 for 3GB of data, and they all run on AT&T ’s network.)

But like diamonds in the rough, there are some unique networks that are shaking things up. They’re forcing us to think about the one thing the biggest carriers don’t want us to: When it comes to cellular data, can we pay for only what we need? Here’s a lineup of five of the most disruptive carriers:

Ting

With Ting, you pay only for what you use—the minutes you spend on the phone, the texts you send and the data you consume. You can view and manage your usage through the website.

But Ting—which operates on T-Mobile and Sprint ’s networks—isn’t for heavy data users. The company says its average user only spends $23 a month. Think about how much those people would be overspending at the big carriers!

Republic Wireless

Republic Wireless, on the other hand, wants you to use as much data as you want. To help lower costs, it prioritizes Wi-Fi networks over cell towers. For $25 a month, it offers unlimited talk, text and data, and when Wi-Fi isn’t available, it will fall back onto Sprint’s network. The catch: With that basic plan, when you’re on cellular, you only get 3G data. (You can pay more to get the faster 4G LTE when you’re out and about.)

Republic works to make the Wi-Fi-to-cellular handoff seamless during phone calls and even Web surfing, but it needs special technology to do it. That means you cannot bring your own phone. Instead, it offers four Motorola phones, including the Moto X, on its website.

Freewheel is another pre-paid carrier attempting a Wi-Fi model, though unlike Republic it does not have a cellular component. If you’re away from Wi-Fi networks, there will be no phone calls, texts or Web surfing. T-Mobile has offered variations on Wi-Fi callingfor nearly a decade.

FreedomPop

FreedomPop takes that idea of combining Wi-Fi and cellular to a whole new level. It says its service is completely free.

Yes, free. How the heck is that possible? Well, here’s what you get for free: 500MB of 4G/3G data, 200 voice minutes and 500 text messages.

The company is betting that you’ll need a bit more than that and go up to one of the basic low cost plans. But even then they are cheap—$20 for unlimited talk, text and 3G data! And much like Republic, the company will route that activity over a Wi-Fi network if it can. When it can’t, it also uses Sprint’s 3G and 4G networks.

GoSmart

GoSmart is very much like the regular pre-paid options but it gets an honorable mention because all of its plans, even the $35 option with 2.5GB of data on T-Mobile’s network, includes unlimited Facebook access. This is the Facebook phone you’ve always wanted.

Consumer Cellular

It’s not all about data, though—at least not for people who turn to Consumer Cellular. This no-contract carrier focuses on the older audience, interested in just calls, texting and only very basic data needs. For just $20 a month you get 200 minutes, 1,000 text messages and 100MB of data on AT&T’s network. For the same $20, you can also get a talk-only plan with 600 minutes. AARP members get a 5 percent discount.

Best Cell Phone Provider in USA

It’s hard to believe that cell phones have now been around for more than 40 years. Three decades later, cell phones are an integral part of people’s lives. In fact, 91 percent of Americans own a cell phone. With so many people using these devices, cellular companies are raking in the dough. Many Americans become loyal customers of specific carriers due to habit, because they like a particular phone offered, or because of excellent customer service.

Yet, people often grumble about the reliability, cost, or plan availability of their particular provider. The task of finding a new carrier can be daunting. According to the research, Verizon Wireless is the best overall carrier, followed by AT&T , and then T-Mobile. The article below includes a summary of the top five ranked carriers.

1. Verizon Wireless

Verizon takes the number one spot with an overall ranking of 8.58/10. The company covers 98 percent of Americans. The carrier also has 100 percent coverage in urban areas, 95 percent in rural areas, offers 4G LTE in 506 markets, and offers superb customer service. Verizon’s contracts and the number of days allowed to return a phone are similar to other carriers. Although AT&T has slightly higher 4G download speeds, Verizon earned overall better rankings. The main issue with Verizon is the cost of the plans, which can get very expensive. However, when one weighs the many benefits of Verizon, the cost seems somewhat less important.

2. AT&T

AT&T ranks just below Verizon with an overall ranking of 8.5/10. As mentioned before, AT&T has the fastest 4G LTE speeds, and it also offers many different phones. However, while 4G LTE speeds are excellent, the coverage only includes 424 markets. In addition, while AT&T offers many plans, those plans can be expensive. Further, the company’s network is not as strong as Verizon’s, and rural coverage can be especially lacking, with only 75 percent of rural areas covered. AT&T earned an 85 for customer service, which amounts to a steady B compared to Verizon’s A+.

3. T-Mobile

Coming in at number three is T-Mobile — which you might recognize from the awesomely hilarious Bill Hader commercials that have launched over the past few months. T-Mobile received an 8.38/10 overall ranking because of the carrier’s unlimited data plans and affordable prices. However, the coverage is not as strong as Verizon or AT&T offers, with only 75 percent of urban areas and 50 percent of rural areas covered. T-Mobile only has 143 4G LTE markets, but the download speeds are just a hair behind Verizon. Another negative for the carrier is the ranking it received on customer service, which came in at only 45 percent. Still, T-Mobile is an affordable carrier if it is available in your location.

4. Sprint

With an overall rating of 7.75/10, a low customer service score (50 percent), and spotty coverage (65 percent in urban areas and 55 percent in rural areas), Sprint certainly isn’t on the same playing field as Verizon and AT&T. Still, it offers unlimited data as well as international calling. Sprint also features many different phones with various capabilities. Sprint family plans are also popular, and although the network is not always solid, Sprint is offered nationwide. This is particularly effective for people who travel frequently or families with college-age children.

For the past few months, the company offered a program called Sprint One Up, but that ended January 9. The program used to allow customers who purchased an eligible smartphone while agreeing to pay 24 monthly installments for the device to trade the smartphone in after 12 consecutive months of payment. Customers would then be given a new smartphone and a new contract. Although the plan has ended, if Sprint brings this plan back, this deal could greatly increase its customer base.

5. MetroPCS

MetroPCS’s excellent customer service helped earn it a 7.53/10 ranking. The company received a 90 percent for customer service, second only to Verizon. MetroPCS also happens to be a prepaid cell phone carrier, which equals no contracts. After the initial price of the phone, the monthly plans are affordable, starting at $40 per month. MetroPCS also offers unlimited text, data, and talk on a 4G network, as well as discounts when families have multiple phones on one account. The company does have limited coverage, including 75 percent of urban areas and 50 percent of rural areas. The carrier is now owned by T-Mobile and runs on its network.
