Small List compiled for Flip phone service. Regular service with unlimited data and all to come.

1.Tracfone-All Carriers $20 Talk/Text 1GB ($30 for first 6 months)
1b. Unlimited talk and text, no data $15/month ($10 with auto pay)

2.Mobi-Verizon $10 (Additional $5 off the 1st three months)

3.Tello-Tmobile $8 , US Mobile.

4.HelloMobile-Tmobile $5 (first 2 months for $5)

                 -EXPLAINED A BIT MORE IN DETAIL-
Tracfone Wireless- (CDMA/GSM Verizon/T-Mobile/AT&T)
First 6 months at $30 plus taxes.
Pay for the first 2 months $15 each month with autopay, then use reward points for the next 4 months. Use Referral code OOAB-E354 to get you 8,000 points. You must activate and set up the rewards within 14 days of activating Phone service.
  They limit 5 uses per month, so feel free to PM before using if you want to confirm they work for this month, as well they seem to be changing the referral code after every use. So feel free to post in the thread or message me for a new code.
       The points will only kick in after 60 days of service(hence the reason for keeping paid service for 60 days) the points will kick in getting you 8,000 Points, which is enough for 4 months free. You can redeem 2,000($20) increments for a free month of service and do that for a total of 4 months free.
  Now you must turn off auto pay after the first 2 months in order for the free 4 months that you added to kick in.  If you don't turn off auto pay it will continue billing your credit card and you will not get those free months until you turn off auto pay.
 Works on CDMA or GSM.

 Mobi Wireless- (Verizon/CDMA)
 $10 a month. With a referral code you can get another $5 off the 1st three months which I can give you. You need to sign up in the first week for the referral bonus to kick in.

Started chat several times with a 38 position in the queue, after a few minutes it times out.

I sent a dm on x about 10 hours ago. Still no response.

Called twice today. 1 call I was on hold 2 1/2 hours before it got disconnected. The 2nd was 1 1/2 hours and I just gave up.

I just activated them all.
the trick is to start the chat and keep writing something every 3 minutes so it doesn't time out

They are not closing down they are being absorbed by a different company, You have to transfer to the new SIM cards that they are sending out. If you didnt receive it, log into your account...

Is this the phone I should get? https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/5568523211

Then, what plan from here: https://www.tracfone.com/phone-service-plans the only $10 one I see is this one https://www.tracfone.com/plans/basic-phones-1-month-plan-30-minutes which seems to be only for refliing and not activating new service.

I did get this phone https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/5568523211 the flip 3 and my gosh it's big, like very thick when it's closed   :(

Is there another option out there that's thinner? Google is not being very helpful, when I search for "thin basic flip phone" it doesn't return very much
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

You can find sim cards on amazon that you can activate from time to time if that suites you needs better than having a fully active T-mobile sim for the whole year.

True. So what you mean to ask is:

Are you sure about that?
Never saw that on their site.
Definitely never picked 10 numbers.

100% sure. They don't advertise it, but thats their policy. You dont pick the numbers, it goes by the first 10 numbers you call international per month. They also didnt advertise their minutes limit either. You cant expect a scammy low-cost company to be all upfront about all this.. (Parent company Qlink is getting fined millions for stealing from the Govt)

I’m currently on Verizon and am not happy about that. I'm looking to start my own family plan.
Any suggestions for which provider to use to get the best service in the greater Lakewood area?

Also, what would be the top few best credit cards to pay for phone service?

All suggestions would be appreciated:)
