Where does this come in
You could’ve responded in one simple word, hello.

Apparently you, among others (present company included) are having issues following some of the conversation here. A better forum would fix or at least improve that.

Followed quite fine, there were 3 carriers mentioned. No Arichus necessary. (I actually first didn’t think your talking about a carrier, too weird the req’s mentioned.)

US. Mobile.
Cheapest by far.

Us mobile cheapest plan is the annual plan for $96 = $8 per month.

Hello mobile is $5 a month.
So which one is cheaper by far ?

[BCL]

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.

Sorry for the confusion. They can be the same plan. Happens to be 2 of the phones are restricted to only Talk, but the plan can have the same as the other 2.
My usage is a little more than 1gb, as you assumed.
Any concerns regarding compatibility with my phones or network?
I have a Fig and TCL Flip (unlocked) on Metro-Tmobile.

Put the 2 talk only phones on hello. (Why pay more)
And the 2 Waze phones on us mobile $96 annual plan where you get 2gb data per month.

Plus taxes and fees.
Us mobile has none of that.

Need to get a cell phone plan for 2 lines now. What's my best bet? Don't necessarily need cheapest, looking for best option overall. Doesn't have to be prepaid, need a decent amount of data. TIA!

What are your needs ?
Talk
Text
Unlimited data?
Do you prefer any network that works best where you are located most of the time ?

Need talk, text and preferably at least 35gb of data. Service should be good for Monsey area. I'm not seeing many good options for 2 lines. T-Mobile plan is $100 for 2 lines.


Is US Mobile good? I see they have a plan for $25/month with 35gb data.


Any plans currently offering a phone with new plan?

[bznt]

USmobile is very good.
You can choose from T-Mobile or Verizon network (soon AT&T as well) you can try it free for 30 days (if you port in your number )

Need to get a plan for my 14 year old that has only talk+text, plus whatsapp and potentially a few other pre-approved apps, but no browser. I will be putting it on a Samsung S21+.

I am considering getting Hello Mobile for $5/mo, and having Tag install MB Smart filter - $35 installation, then $2.50/mo for the filtering subscription https://www.smartconnectionsny.com/android-no-browser. Anyone go with this combo and have any feedback?

That plan only gets you 500mb per month, hardly enough for any app usage...

What's the best option for a flip phone for a high school kid. I need the phone and the service.

What type of phone do you want? @stooges44

 If no preference get the $20 TCL flip 2 and use tracfone service for 2 months ($10×2) to get the device unlocked, as you'll need 60 days to qualify to get it unlocked, as well it can be filtered. And after that put hello mobile service for $5 for calling and texting and even a few mb for some basic picture sending.
 If new to tracfone can even refer you so you can get another 2-3 months for free.

Again I'm looking for a plan for people visiting the US for 2 weeks. Unlimited or lots of data. Android phones that take esims. I looked at US Mobile's free trial, but it says number transfers only, which precludes my Israeli visitors.
