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.

Tello Mobile (GSM/T-Mobile)

I'm in Lakewood currently using h20 unlimited data plan, costing me close to $50 monthly. really not happy with the service. what are my best options for an AT&T MVNO? unless I'm wrong about AT&T being the best in Lakewood. I don't need the best I just need it to be reliable.

Data not working too well. I’m assuming it’s an h2o problem.

Supposedly us mobile is getting att service on June 15th. There will be standard speeds and prioritized speeds equivalent to post paid att customers for a charge.
They are also beta testing having all 3 carriers on your phone which you can switch up to 8 times a month.
So I read on Reddit.

A) everyone is on it. The most popular flip phones are Verizon and it’s little guys. LG Exalt, Classic Kyocera Cadence and more.
B) there’s pushback on them not to build towers inner city for health etc reasons. Is outside an option? Idk..

I have 4 lines.
1 & 2: Just Talk
3 & 4: Talk, text, data - just for waze, pic messaging.

I'm currently with Metro (T-mobile).

How much data do I need?

Is Hello mobile my cheapest option?

Data for just waze/pic messaging is not more than 1-2gb per month.
Best option is to check your usage history for the past few months with your old service provider. Either online or by phone.

Hello is the cheapest, but I wouldn't recommend based on various factors. You can't have different plan types for each line. Try US mobile or Tello.

With different emails, different ccs, and different addresses. Its a pain.
And no you cant just add Apt 1 to your address, as it needs to match exactly to the cc.
