Ultimate Cheapest Tracfone Plans

Are you looking for the cheapest way to have a cell phone with calling, texting and data capabilities? Maybe you don't use your phone often, or perhaps you just need a backup device. Here are several options that are all under $10/mo.

1. Buy a Phone with Airtime Bundle ($5/mo plus free smartphone)
This surprising deal might not work for everyone, but if you are willing to buy and activate a new phone every year, there are options for as low as $5/mo. This deal from retailers like HSN and QVC (and sometimes eBay) offers a budget smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy A03s or Moto G Power 2022 bundled with 1500 talk, 1500 text and 1.5GB data plus 365 service days. Prices change often, and there are a variety of phone options available, including 5G capable smartphones for a little higher price. This is the cheapest service plan, and you get a brand new phone.

2. $20 Airtime Card for Basic Phones ($7/mo) 
The 60 minute card from Tracfone comes with 90 service days and 60 minutes to use for talk, text and data. It costs $6.67 per month, not including taxes or other fees and is a simple, cheap way to keep a phone activated. If you already have a basic phone, this is a great option.

3. Buy the $125 Smartphone Card and use promo code 44282 for $15 off ($9/mo)
If you already have a smartphone, and just want to add more service days and some airtime, the $125 smartphone card comes with 365 days and 1500 talk, text and data to use during the year. With a promo code, it comes down to just $110 not including taxes and fees. While this isn't the cheapest method, it is an easy way to add a plan for under $10/mp.

Best Tracfone Plans with Unlimited Talk and Text

For consumers that use their phone often for calling, texting and more, an unlimited plan may make the most sense. Tracfone only offers unlimited talk and text. There's no unlimited data at this time. Below are the best Tracfone plans that offer unlimited talk and text and some data. If you use more than 4-5GB per month, consider switching to another company that offers unlimited data options.

1. $199 Unlimited Smartphone Plan with 1/year service and 24GB Data ($16.60/mo)
This unlimited plan comes out to about $16.60 per month for 2GB data and unlimited talk and text. What is great about this option is that you get 24GB data upfront, so you can choose to use more of it some months, less of it others. This could be great for those who travel, or just want some flexibility. If the data does run out, a data card can be added, or other unlimited cards.

2. Don't Need Data? $15/mo Unlimited Talk/Text ($15/mo)
If, for some reason, no data is required, then the $15 unlimited card is the cheapest option. It offers 30 services, but comes with zero data. If you already have a lot of data, or don't use it, this is a great option.

There are a lot of different plans and options from Tracfone that can be selected to suit your specific usage. Share what plan you prefer in the comments below.
