Best prepaid phone plans 2024

If your phone is unlocked, you can switch and save with a prepaid carrier.

Now officially owned by T-Mobile, Mint Mobile uses that larger carrier's network with full access to 5G, so for most people, coverage and speeds will be great. Still, our Visible review found the carrier to offer plenty of speed for day-to-day usage, though this will vary depending on the strength of the Verizon network in your area. The fact of the matter is that some people just get more consistent coverage on the AT&T network, so it's nice that Cricket offers competitive rates with the option for premium data on its most expensive plan.
