Oh, I'm on my mom's plan with $25 a month... But I don't use data at all.
If I had to get another plan, I'd only need about 1GB of data a month... Unlimited texting... And probably 120 minutes. (I don't call people)
I'd use Wi-Fi for any internet things... But data for Pokemon.
Which phone company is the phone for? Has it been paid for in full or is money still owed on it? Depending on what networks it is compatible with, there are some fairly low-cost options available that I know of. Some of the cheapest ones I know of are these:
For a phone that works with Verizon,
Total Wireless has unlimited minutes and texting and you can do a $25 30-day plan with no data or a $35 30-day plan with 5 GB of data. They have a $10 3 GB data add-on for any plan, and any remaining data from that add-on doesn't expire as long as you keep your service active. I think it can only be purchased at Wal-mart or online, like Straight Talk. One of TracFone's brands.
For a phone that works with AT&T (which does includes some Verzion phones, though they may not work optimally),
EasyGo has unlimited minutes and texting with 100 MB of data for $20 for 30 days and they have a 1 GB data add-on for $10. This data add-on also doesn't expire as long as you keep your service active, just like the one I mentioned above. Probably mainly available online, but there are some other places that sell EasyGo service. Owned by Locus Telecom, which isn't as big as TracFone, but they have been around for a while and run multiple brands of prepaid phone service.
Depending on how many texts you send/receive, if you want the lowest cost possible and don't mind it being more complicated to figure out how to get the best deal,
TracFone might work for you. It is available for both Verizon and AT&T phones (and you can switch your service between the two if you get a different device and need the other network for it). The most complicated part to figure out is how to get the best deal for minutes and days of service that fits your needs (buying minutes will include some texts and data), beyond that they have a data add-on at the rate of $10 per 1 GB and a text add-on at the rate of $5 per 1000. Available in lots of stores, though to get the best deals you may need to buy online, and some deals are only available directly on TracFone's web site, including an option they don't advertise that they randomly offer during checkout to add 365 days for $50 (doesn't add any minutes/texts/data). I don't know how far into checkout it offers it, but I've heard that if it doesn't, you can cancel checkout and try again until it offers it.
The one I use is TracFone because I don't really use my phone service much. My usage of minutes is probably similar to yours, but I don't use my texts and data much (mostly on wifi all the time and I've configured my phone to block background data for most of my apps). My average monthly cost is probably about $10 or less. I paid for a lot of it upfront, but with the latest offerings for smartphones you don't really need to pay as much upfront anymore to get the best deal.
