(Its actually $60.00 a month for mine, but its covered by the money they add on to each paycheck).<br /><br />My phone is a prepaid through Verizon. I get 2 gigs of data, unlimited talk and text, no contract, and no taxes or other fees... just $60 a month for service.South County Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347142273473958671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409437835427293169.post-87985879576065883092014-04-03T14:37:13.182-07:002014-04-03T14:37:13.182-07:00Budgets seem scary at first, but then you find out...Budgets seem scary at first, but then you find out that they are this little secret weapon that lets you spend money on things you want... but also save for the future. Good luck with that!<br /><br />As for cell phone, My husband has a trac phone. He got the phone off amazon. This one is $25, but there are cheaper more basic ones for $15<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-T404G-Prepaid-Minutes-Tracfone/dp/B005O1I7T6/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1396560754&sr=8-19&keywords=tracfone+triple+minutes+for+life+phone<br /><br />All we do is do down to Walmart and buy the minute cards. 60 minutes is $20, but with a triple minute phone we get 240 minutes. He gets 3 text messages for the cost of 1 minute so we fill his phone up only when he runs out, or when the minutes expire (if you add minutes before your balance is up, they roll over and you keep them).<br /><br />So on average, its really cheap for us to get him his phone. It doesn't do data, but he has an old smart phone that he leaves on Wifi and uses that for apps.

I noticed that we're both in O.C (south county?), and i'm currently looking to see how i can get a better cell plan (700 minutes shared between two lines/250 minutes shared is no longer working for us)...I noticed that your cell plan is only at $35 per month. Can you disclose some information about what type of cell carrier, plan, or tips you have?
