Best prepaid cell phone deals in the United States are not often marketed because they want their customers on contractual basis rather than a one-time investment. Customers often have a wrong notion that if they end up paying upfront $600 – $800, it is a sham; whereas ending up giving $200 a month and paying more at the end of the year is far safer and better.

As per a research conducted in 2012, people were found buying iPhones more on contractual basis rather than the prepaid mobile phones, ending up with a two-year contract on AT&T, giving $200 for the phone and $90 per month for the plan. When the amount of the year end contract was calculated, it came up to $2360. Looking at the Virgin mobile prepaid handsets, the iPhone was pried at $650 and a $30 per month with unlimited data and the customer ended up paying $1370 after two years of the contract.

If you look at prepaid cellphone plans, Cricket is an AT&T network wherein customers pay a $25 activation fee with their own phone. MetroPCS owned by T-Mobile has a data for 5GB plan and you can choose applications paying for new phone up to $700. Go for a prepaid cellphone plan and it is always worth it!
