Best value plan without contract in the USA.

Hi, I'm gonna study abroad in San francisco in a month.
Because I already have a phone and I will be staying there for 9 months i can't get a contract.
Here in France i have a contract-free plan with everything unlimited for 20€/m
My phone is a Galaxy S mtd so it will have to be GSM, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA compatible.
Here are my average consuption per month:
-3h calls
-300 texts
- 1Gb internet (but i think i can deal with less)
I'm looking for something between 20 and 30$... I've tried to find some good value deals, but i can't seem to find any intresting thing...
thanks

What exactly do you want to get out of your $20-30? It's certainly possible but you won't be getting much. T-mobile offers no contract plans that sound along what you are talking about.

T-Mobile has a 30$ no contract PREPAID plan.
It includes
100 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
5 GB high speed data on their HSPA+ network.
You must have a phone that has access to the 1700/2100mHz (AWS) bands to get 4G (HSPA+) on T-Mobile 's network.
Otherwise, for phones with 850/1900mHz (NAM) bands you can get Straight Talk. It is 45$ a month for unlimited talk/text and about a 100MB PER DAY/2GB PER MONTH UNSPOKEN CAP... which is higher than the amount listed in the OP but keep in mind that if you go with T-Mobile and have NAM bands on your phone you will only get EDGE speed
Also this should be moved to "Networking"

T-Mobile won't be enough for him with the minutes. I suggest Virgin Mobile although their network is pretty slow,you'll get 300 min, unlimited text and 2.5 GB of data.

hum... the 30$ t-mobile plan is interesting but i cant find it on t-mobile's website!
When i was saying 20/30$ plans, i was hopping to get something similare as what i can have in France.... Here when you get something without contract, it's usually cheaper because you don't get any phone but It seems that those plans arent really populare in america...
I suppose that i can deal with edge speed, it's mainly for emails and google maps.
I looked on the mvno area too, i've found this particulary interesting plan: http://www.mycricket.com/cell-phone-plans#basic-plans unfortunaltly, it's cdma so i will have to buy a new phone there...
also, sry for the wrong sub-forum, i missed the networking part.

Virgin Mobile is CDMA. He'd most likely have to buy a compatible phone.

It's under the monthly4g prepaid tab/section. There are TWO 30$ plans. Be careful which one you pick (if you do)

On T-Mobile plan, do incomming calls are deducted from the 100mn ?

just get straight talk or metropcs
you can buy a straight talk sim and its $45/month unlimited (but not really) everything

Net10 $85 2 line family plan with N4

I finally decided I am paying way too much for AT&T and made the switch to Net10's "family plan"
The way it works, is if you activate on auto-refill you get $5 off the first phone and $10 for every phone after that up to 4 so for my 2 lines it's only $85 a month. You can have up to 4 for $165.
I bought the BYOP SIM pack at Dollar General for $15. It comes with an AT&T compatible full sim, AT&T compatible micro, and a T-Mobile compatible full. I used the 2 AT&T sims for my N4 and daughter's GNex (saves $15 for another kit) you have to buy 2 $50 PINs up front to activate. The credits will come for subsequent months but I am sure I can call in and demand the $15 credit through customer service.
Speeds have been the same for my area that I was getting with AT&T with no drop off in coverage at all. I did have an issue "porting" my number but my daughters went through immediately.
Anyone that has multiple lines on ST, Simple Mobile, or anywhere else may benefit from this plan and save some extra cash every month.

As with all Tracfone owned companies it is unlimited* with no real policy set in stone for the true limit.
I know at least 2 people who have used 5+GB in a month without issue.

what speeds would i get with this?

To bad they don't have a set in stone data limit. I would rather it say 5gb then throttled, than leave me wondering.

That's the main issue with all prepaid carriers that offer unlimited. They have a policy but it's not set in stone. Most believe that ST, N10, Tracfone don't actually have the ability to throttle because they don't control the network so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

So net10 works through Tmobile & AT&T? What about APN's.. Does it use the stock ones or its own APN.

5GB on AT&T? Lol..not even close.. Net10 is the same thing as Straight Talk but ST is $5 less per month..not sure what the OP is going on about, probably because I only pay for myself which in that case ST is less expensive..AT&T gets better coverage in buildings due to lower frequency they use than T-Mobile but their data policy is more strict than T-Mobile prepaid and T-Mobiles data is faster.
Think I'll be sticking with T-Mobiles $30/month prepaid plan due to better data and being $20 cheaper than ST is a nice touch.

AT&T also has much better coverage in many areas. Even in dense metropolitan areas like Northern VA and Washington, D.C. I get stronger signal on AT&T, and when going on long car trips, I don't drop down to EDGE or even GPRS, like I did with T-Mobile. It all depends on coverage in your area and your typical usage. I get great in-building coverage on AT&T - often better than Verizon.

Confirmed: New AT&T "All In One" $55 prepaid

Update: It's official. http://www.aiowireless.com/shop/plans.html
Not quite as good as initially promised. Unlimited voice and text on all plans. You get 250 MB for $40, 2 GB for $55, or 7GB for $70. Also, 250 MB of tablet data for $15. On all the phone plans, you get unlimited throttled data after going over your high-speed allotment.
The fine print says maximum data speed of 4 Mbps, which is lower than the 7Mbps I can often get on AT&T's network, but still not bad.
They do have a bring your own phone program. They ask for your IMEI. I put mine in and went ahead as if I were going to check out, and they seemed okay with me using a Nexus 4.
When you go to the website, it may ask for your zip code before you can view plans. This is presumably because it's being test-marketed in certain parts of the country. The earlier reports were that test markets would be Florida and Texas. I entered a random Florida zip code (34105) and it let me in to view plans. I haven't tried signing up, but I think there's a pretty good chance you could sign up and enter your real Zip code.
My take on this now is that $55 is a little too high for what they're offering. I'll stick with Net10, with 1.5GB of high-speed data guaranteed for $42.50 with a discounted SIM. But if you regularly use more data, this could be a worthwhile offering. The $70 for 7GB of high speed data is pretty much unheard of for prepaid, so if you use that much per month, I'd jump on that.
Original post:
A website called Fierce Wireless has reported that AT&T will start offering a new prepaid option starting as early as June. The plan will include unlimited voice and texts, plus 2GB of HSPA data, for $50 per month. Once you go over 2GB, you'd be throttled back to 2G. The Fierce Wireless report doesn't clarify if it's HSPA or HSPA+ (in other words, is it 3G or 3.5/4G?). They may offer a plan with 5GB of high-speed data for $70, though that's undecided.
You can read the entire article here: http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/att-planning-june-launch-all-one-prepaid-brand/2013-05-02
I've never heard of Fierce Wireless, so I don't know if they have a good reputation, but the report is very specific, talks about things happening in the very near future, and is about a subject most trolls would find too boring to make up a whole fake thing about. Also, The Verge, which I consider a reputable source, published a story about the Fierce Wireless piece without doubting its truth.
Even so, this sounds a little too good to be true. In comparison, here are the other deals you can get right now with AT&T prepaid or MVNO:
PureTalk USA: $44 unlimited voice and text, 1GB data, $10 per extra 100 MB overage
Straight Talk: $45 unlimited voice and text, ambiguous amount of high-speed data.
Net10: $50 unlimited voice and text, 1.5GB hard data cap
AT&T GoPhone: $50 250 minutes, unlimited text, 1 GB data
Red Pocket: $60 unlimited voice and text, 2GB hard data cap
Black Wireless: same as Red Pocket
H2O Wireless: same as Red Pocket
AT&T GoPhone: $65 unlimited voice and text, 1GB data
Every one of these plans has a severe disadvantage vs. the new rumored AT&T plan. It's no longer possible to buy Straight Talk SIM cards from their website, and many customers (including me) have been throttled at much lower data levels than ever recently. PureTalk looks like a good deal but has insanely expensive overage charges. The others are either the same price or more expensive than the rumored AT&T prepaid plan, and you have to pay for more data if you go over, rather than simply being throttled down to 2G. Note also that most MVNOs are known for having atrocious customer service.
The comparison is especially stark if you compare it to AT&T's postpaid plans:
450 minutes, unlimited texts, 3GB data: $90
unlimited minutes and texts, 3GB data: $120
That's a lot of money to pay for LTE data, more coverage in unpopulated areas, and a subsidized phone every two years.
If AT&T really does come out with the rumored data plan, and they do give you full speed HSPA+ data, it could put a lot of their MVNOs out of business. And I suspect it will start to cannibalize their lucrative postpaid business.
So my guess is, AT&T will hobble this plan somehow. Either your data will be throttled to 1Mb down, or you'll only get 500 MB or 1 GB of high speed, or the price will be higher. Nothing about the way their MVNOs have behaved recently tells me AT&T wants to make its prepaid offerings more attractive. But I hope I'm wrong with that prediction.

Sounds too good to be true. Guess time will tell. Thanks for the breakdown of mvno's, getting ready to look into one as soon as my contract ends in a couple months.

If they did I would probably directly my parents there. Right now I am on straight talk with t mobile and while its better and much faster in Atlanta I don't know about their part of KC. But they already have AT&T so they know what they'd be getting.

Meh, ATT still sucks around here (socal) they have good coverage but they still have call quality issues so I'll stick with Tmo but bring on the competition.

If this is true I'll be all over it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

My ex-wife works at AT&T and says she's heard nothing about this to date. They usually get info around 30 days ahead of a released plan so if this is in the works, it's quite a ways under the radar. I would suspect it'd be more of a working memo that got released or something but, hey, who knows? It'd be great to see them all finally start competing on price!

Bump because new information in OP about confirmed plans.
This looks to me like an okay deal if you want presumably better service, 2GB of data guaranteed, and to be throttled rather than shut off if you go over.
The $70 plan for 7GB looks like a great deal if you use that much data.

$55 is a good price, direct from ATT, and they seem to be far more honest about what they are offering. I still don't like ATT but this is the right direction for them to be going.

Has anyone outside of the cities listed tried putting in a zip code from one of the listed cities and then just have it shipped to there address outside of that city?
I'm on straight talk and hardly use any data but yet I'm still constantly throttled to the point that it's not usable.

ATT or Tmo on straight talk? I never got throttled on either SIM using over 1gb/mo but I'm curious what you are using.

What I'm wondering is if they'll throttle people for steaming like straight talk or if they'll be more like T-Mobile in the way that you can do whatever you want with your data until its used up.

We won't know for sure until people start actually using the service and report back, but their terms of service do not say anything about streaming. They do say no tethering, and of course they give themselves an escape clause that "unlimited does not mean unreasonable," and you can't do anything that congests the network too much.
http://source.aiowireless.com/legal-info/terms-and-conditions-of-service.html
I'd be very surprised if they banned streaming. I've only ever seen that from Straight Talk and other services owned by the same company. AT&T has often been accused of prioritizing their own customers over MVNO people when the network gets congested. I wonder if AIO customers will get any priority at all.

Doing it online isn't a problem but she told me that right now you can only port your number if you go into a store and that porting should be available online within a week.

Is this just another mvno or is it directly from at&t. I couldnt find anything regarding roaming and whether or not these are treated like mvno or at&t prepaid. How do you guys expect this to function during peak hours? Since they cap the speed at 4mb/s does that mean they have the same priority as postpaid on at&t?

New Pre-Paid Player in the Game (US) - Aio Wireless

It looks like AIO wireless just opened up for all of the US. Until a few days ago they were only available in a hanful of states but I just checked today and it looks like they are now nation wide. Uses AT&T network. Unlimited text and talk. Prices include taxes and fee's.
$55 - 2GB high speed (LTE capped @ 8mbs and HSPA+ capped at 4mbs) then throttled to slower speeds when monthly limit is reached.
$70 - 7GB high speed (LTE capped @ 8mbs and HSPA+ capped at 4mbs) then throttled to slower speeds
I just got my N4 last week and signed up with Straight Talk (AT&T sim) for a month but knew I would be switching to AIO when they were available. I have read to many horror stories about Straight Talks sneaky ways with what they call unlimited data. I would rather go with a company that tells you exactly what you are really getting up front rather then lying about it or possibly disconnecting your service.
I tried T-Mo but the service was terrible...Now just need to wait to the end of the month to make the move...Post your thoughts here if you sign up. Also will give the 3rd month free on new activations!
This seems like a really good option for people with unlocked phones and require a nice amount of data.
http://www.aiowireless.com/home.html

Finally! I've been waiting for them to go nationwide. I use GoPhone right now and it's great, but I'm always looking for newer, better deals. I might try AIO for the 7gb plan for a month or two. If I don't end up using nearly that, I'll either switch to the $55 plan, or back to GoPhone, depending on AIO's speeds/service. One thing to note: they throttle your speeds even before your cap. I can't remember exactly, it's in the terms and conditions. Something like 6 mb/s or so. After your data cap, I think it's throttled to 2G speeds.

Now that you mention it I think I did read something about the speeds they offer and it might be around 6-7mbs. That is more then enough speed to do anything you really need to do anyway.

I believe they throttle LTE down to 8mb/s. It is a shame they throttle before you hit your cap. Otherwise the 5 dollar difference in price over GoPhone is not worth it to me.

Yes, it is 8mbs capped which is pretty fast. What can you not do at those speeds anyway? You can stream Netflix or Youtube. I think Netflix for my TV says it only requires 5mbs for streaming.
I guess for the smaller plan it might be a wash although it is still more then $5 for GoPhone after taxes and fee's but if you want 7gigs of data, $70 for Aio vs. Go Phones $70 for 3gigs it seems like a no brainer.

From their page on data speeds:
4G LTE service currently offers download speeds up to 8 Mbps and our 4G HSPA+ service currently offers download speeds up to a maximum of 4 Mbps. On our 3G HSPA/UMTS service, typical download speeds range from approximately 700 Kbps up to 1.7 Mbps.

I had seen the third month free advertised on their website before they went nationwide, but I don't see it there anymore. Does anyone know if it's still being offered? If so, it's a no-brainer to at least try it out.
Another big question will be whether discounted refill cards start showing up online, the way they do for other prepaid options. You can easily get a $60 GoPhone plan for $57 at Callingmart.com. Right now someone's offering a $60 refill for $51 on eBay, but that always seems a little shadier to me. If those kind of deals don't pop up for Aio, it's a little less compelling.

Yes, you're right. It's still there, I just didn't read the rotating ads at the top of the page quickly enough. Here's a direct link to the offer: http://www.aiowireless.com/3rd-month-free-promo.html
You have to activate by September 29. According to the terms, you just have to sign up and keep your account active for two months, and five days before your second month expires, they'll automatically credit you with a third month free. It makes me a little nervous that you just have to trust that they'll credit your account, but what are you going to do.
Unfortunately, I just renewed with Net10 yesterday, but I'll probably port over to Aio just before the September 29 deadline. Still worth it for a free month even if I lose a week with Net10.

What is their policy for roaming? On T-mobile prepaid, you don't get any coverage in roaming if T-mobile itself doesn't have coverage. In post-paid, it can use other operator's network while roaming.

Lycobile prepaid, they have a 23 dollar unlimited talk text and data plan (100 mb LTE speeds). This is the cheapest plan I could find and they have pretty good service. Not as good as Verizon in my area but much better than att. They just recently added picture messaging and it'll be perfect if that can add some sort of Wi-Fi calling because when in my basement service is bad but not a big deal

I have a T-mobile grandfathered plan.
4 lines
1000 shared min (minutes never get above 200)
Unlimited texting on all lines
unlimited 4g (truly unlimited with no slowdowns on 2 lines)
All for $120
Will be buying off the Play Store

Gonna be using my N6 on my prepaid $30 T-Mo 5GB/100min plan.

Same here, TMO 5GB LTE /100min Walmart plan. Last month i used 2 minutes... A lot more on hangouts though.
Its already a nano sim so i don't have to change SIM(the new kits provide 2 converters to micro and standard sim)

Wow I never knew about that plan. I might try it. For only 7 more dollars 5 GB of lte is much better than 100 megabytes lol. But is the 3g unlimited after the 5gb run out?

Yes it is unlimited data/messaging with 100minutes of talk and you have 5GB of 4G data,then its slowed down to 2G speeds. Plus you can use the hotspot feature if you have an unlocked phone(now iam using an unlocked iphone 4 until my nexus 6 arrives)

The Walmart Exclusive plan for 30$

I'll be using mine on Verizon since I already have service there. But I also own a metro pcs family plan and I may put myself on there when I get tired of Verizon prices. Although I have unlimited data on Verizon.
