Can you get reliable phone service for less than $15 a month?

In 2024, even the cheapest postpaid plan typically starts at around $50 a month, give or take a few bucks. This price can come down a lot if you have a family or a group of roommates to split the bill with, as you’ll qualify for multi-line discounts. For those needing only one or two lines, prepaid carriers can offer a similar service for much less. I decided to find out how low you can go and still get decent service by targeting plans priced at $15 a month or less.

Much to my surprise, these dirt-cheap plans are much more useable than you might think.
