TWITTER Week of September 12, 2022 (see last week)
Consumer World Original

MrConsumer pays $5 a month for Tello cell service ++ (with half a gig of data) and only pays the equivalent of a penny a minute for calls. Texts are free. Getting a prepaid plan is often a big money-saver. This story lists some of the best values in prepaid cell plans for different levels of service. Its one omission is a Boost Mobile plan that has unlimited everything for $25 a month.
