Bargain of the Week
Cheapest Cell Plan for Unlimited Calls and Texts -- $5 a Month
This is the least expense cell plan for unlimited calls and regular texts in America -- only $5 a month. It is sold as a $60 prepaid service card for one year by Liberty Wireless via eBay. Service is provided on the T-Mobile network, so you need a GSM compatible phone (one previously used on TMO or AT&T). There is NO DATA included on this plan, hence your only Internet or email access will be via Wi-Fi. You might be able to add a gig of data for $5, but we are not sure.
