                 -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.

Anybody heard of this company?

It's just WOW! So unique and flexible, for people who don't need data (or maby Just data) it's really worth a try.

Either page plus $55 plan preloaded sim on eBay (~$15, 3GB LTE, Verizon service) or simple mobile $40 preloaded sim on eBay (~$10, 4GB LTE, T-Mobile service should be fine in NYC and should work fine on Verizon 6s). This will get you 30 days, I'm assuming you'll survive 2 without service.

Thanks for your response what's the ~15 Verizon LTE ?

Can someone explain me how page plus works ??

I need a phone for 32days will it roll over for the next month ??

PagePlus option means buying something like this on eBay or Amazon, which comes with 30 days of service (actually says 5GB LTE).
The extra 2 days would mean activating another month. PagePlus has a PayAsYouGo option, after the month is done call PagePlus to add some money to your sim card and use the PayAsYouGo option for 2 days.
Note: if you use an IMEI to activate this prefunded service that has been used for this in the past 6 months, the IMEI will get blacklisted. If you're churning this, make sure to use a different IMEI each time.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Works on any unlocked CDMA phone, but yes, they using sprint network.

When will the US companies match the price of Israeli companies (such as Golan, HOT etc. ) and offer unlimited calls/SMS & 10GB for $7-8?

You see...not everything in Israel is expensive.
The Americans have also what to be jealous of the Israelis.

Ting.com https://ting.com/rates has been around for a long time similar idea


If you don't mind hearing music or news while the other party picks up. Try this. https://ringplus.net/ they currently have a free plan 1000 minutes, 1000 text , 500mb data. Sometimes they have better plans with higher buckets for free

How do you get to that price? I mean for consistent service and not just the first month.

Golan Telecom has this deal for 29 Shekels/Month
Walla Mobile / 012 Mobile have this deal with only 8GB for 39/Month
Walla Mobile / Rami Levy / HOT/012 Mobile have this deal for 49 Shekels/Month

Of course there are deals with only 5GB/Month from 25 Shekels and up
These deals are not only for the first month but for the whole time with no contracts.

+1. AT&T has great service coverage and  network speed. Nothing to worry about. Their plans (especially the family plan for $25 talk/text/2.5GB LTE) are very competitive.
