Study abroad. What cell phone plans are the best in the United States?

After reading this article, you can reduce your phone bill by up to 70 (if you use AT&T). We mainly talk about two questions: 1. Which is the cheapest all-inclusive plan in the United States? 2. How to make unlimited free phone calls.

The four major telecom operators in the United States are AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. AT&T and Verizon are known for their high-end plans, and their plans are both expensive. VZW's Nationwide Family SharePlans only costs $30 per line for unlimited data, which is outrageously expensive. T-mobile and Spring focus on low-end products, one is GSM and the other is CDMA. By comparing all the Individual Plans, Family Plans and almost all employee discounts and other benefits of these four operators (such as Sprint EVP, etc.), I concluded that Sprint's two plans are the most cost-effective plans in the United States, and the price of the all-inclusive service is even only ATamp ; The three-fold T is extremely abnormal. Let’s talk about the employee discount website first (I cannot disclose the login information, please find it yourself, you can ask your American friends)

Disclaimer in advance: The most economical all-inclusive plan I am talking about here, pay attention to the word "all-inclusive", I mean the plan that includes unlimited data (Data), unlimited text messages and unlimited roaming, not the plan we are talking about. The kind of plan that allows you to make phone calls and even send text messages for free. Just buy a prepaid phonecard. In the United States, where 3G is so developed, don’t you still use your mobile phone to access the Internet? No matter what, I have to log in to Facebook and campus, right? Use your smartphone for tethering, and you don’t even need to buy a mobile data card. You’ll save $40/month first.

Many people will say, we can’t get employee discounts, so don’t worry. Here are two more ways to get the best plan for you.

1. Sprint’s family plan. If you want a cheap all-inclusive plan that is the most conservative, worry-free, and legal, in that case, Everything Data Family - with Any Mobile, Anytime is the best method. Calling any domestic mobile phone number in the United States, no matter what carrier, will never cost you money. Unlimited data, unlimited text messages, GPS, BlackBerry BIS, etc., four lines per *** for only $169.97 per month, which is equivalent to US$42.5 per month. It's a pretty good plan (don't forget that BIS usually charges $10/m). For $42.5 you can get the latest phones, including EVO 4G and any Android/WM/PalmOS phone. Quite a deal.

2. If you don’t want to mix Family plan and just want to use Individual Plan, then you You can go to EBAY/PPCGEEKS/Sprint Users and other forums to find Sero plans that are on sale. The legendary sero plan is not necessarily the best plan in the United States. I have been using this plan for three years.

I pay $30 per month after tax, 500 minutes of off-net calls, unlimited data/unlimited SMS/unlimited GPS/unlimited MMS/unlimited intranet/unlimited domestic long distance/unlimited roaming/unlimited 7pm to 7am/unlimited sprint network Intercom/unlimited weekends. 28 dollars before tax, 30 dollars after tax. This plan is so cheap that Sprint regrets releasing this artifact. So it restricts updating mobile phones. Touch pro2 is the most powerful mobile phone in sero, and EVO4g is not available yet. Go to the above website and search for SERO FS (For Sale). Generally, the price of this plan is between 60-90, which is quite cost-effective. You can go to the website I mentioned above to have a look. Can you google the URL yourself?

3. On the Sprint employee discount websites of major companies, you can not only get a 27 bill discount, but you can also get a new mobile phone at a lower price. Of course, there are also 15 discounts like Morgan Stanley. There are many other companies, but due to space limitations, I will not introduce them. Don’t forget, this is discounted. . . You understand what I mean. .

Or you can call Sprint customer service and ask them to ask for the "Sprint Wireless Discount Request" link. I won't provide it. I don't know if it is legal or not.

4. Sprint EVP: Sprint Employee Value Program. Various plans are discounted by $15 or more, and mobile phones are $50 cheaper. Just use your school email to register. /

In addition to the four major operators, the United States also has regional operators such as Metro PCS and Virgin Mobile. If your city has these operators and you don’t go out of the city very often, you can also consider using this small operator. For example, Virgin Mobile launched "Beyond Talk" prepaid plans last month. For only $25, you get unlimited text messages, data, and 300 minutes of calls. For students who only need to surf the Internet and send text messages, this plan should be enough.

After talking about the Plan, let’s talk about unlimited phone calls. It's actually very simple, just use the Google Voice number as your family number. The names of family numbers vary from operator to operator, and it would be exhausting for me to write down each one in detail. ATT's is called A-List, T-Mobile's MyFav, VZW's Friends & Family (Pick N Friend), Sprint's Pick 3/5, etc. Now you understand how it works, right? Go to google.com/voice to register an account and follow Google's instructions, and you even have visual voicemail (which only recognizes English). After setting it up, because Google Voice is your family number, you don’t have to pay to answer it. Google Voice does not cost money to reach North America, so... you don’t have to spend money. .
