$2.00

Mobilex.com is offering a $4.08/ month basic plan ( based on a $1.98 monthly platform fee plus $2.10 per GB of data) **IDK if taxes are added**

This MVNO uses Verizon towers.

I wonder how many minutes & texts you get? Maybe it is all a cafeteria deal where you choose how many you want.

I wonder if I turn data OFF, would I have a really cheap kids emergency only phone?

They seem to have basic minute pkgs of 50/50 (talk/text) for $1.50/mo.

Also 150 talk/150 text for $2.50/month.

They even offer a No Talk/Text option for $0.00 - could be used to park a number, if you turn off the data, too, for a total of $1.98 per month.

Quote from Marathi :
If anyway we have to use their TextNow app for texts/calls etc, how is it better than GoogleVoice/WhatsApp?
I mean if TextNow can send a text or make a call to a normal (non-TextNow user) cellular number then I can understand otherwise it's basically same like GoogleVoice, WhatsApp, Skype or any other app-to-app service over WiFi !
Edit: In fact, GV CAN make calls/texts to a normal cellular number unlike WhatsApp or TextNow !

TextNow can in fact make calls to phone numbers, even when not on WiFI if you purchase their SIM card (T-Mobile).

FreedomPop has a $4.99 sim at Target that is a one time fee, lets you port in your number (or get a new one), and then get a real, non-app dependent phone number for forever with 100 texts/100mins/100mb data each month forever. I've had one of these with no use for months at a time and it never expires or stops working.

Would this be good for a smart watch, or any device that needs a SIM card? (watch, tablet, rabbit, humane pin, etc...?)
