Help me decide new phone plan

A. Boost offers 25 dollars a month plan, and they do have actual physical stores too. They offer unlimited text/talk, and I need to call about data..but I"m sure it is reasonable .. per month.

B. Mint Mobile offers $15 a month plans (for first 3 months) then it goes to $25 a month, with 5 GB per month and unlimited talk/text. They do not have physical stores, so everything will be done online.

What do you think? Both sound very reasonable... I just need to buy a new phone too. Boost offers a couple phones under 100 bucks (in store), and I saw a Motorola that looked good. Any ideas welcome.

5GB is not a lot of data. I pay $50 CDN ($37 USD) per month and I get 100GB of data with unlimited talk/text. You're in the US. There have to be plans that offer you better data than that for 25 dollars per month. And shop Wal Mart for phones.

@Coralmist I bought this phone from Wal Mart online for $149 CDN ($110 USD). It's the CAT S62 manufactured by Samsung I believe. It has Cornings Gorilla Glass, military-grade construction, and It can be submerged in water for up to 35 minutes.

@Sapio I read online most people only need around 3 to 5 Gb data per month ...i probably use 2. That is an awesome phone🌻

@Coralmist thank you and that maybe so but what they're giving you for $25 is a rip-off. Please do some more digging for plans around that mark. There are better ones out there.

@Coralmist below is a link for the CAT S62 from walmart.com/usa. I forgot that I got mine on sale. It's between $120-$140 USD but it will last you for years. You don't have to get it but make sure that you get a phone will Gorilla Glass. Screens are expensive to replace. Oftentimes you'll spend $60 on a phone but $100 just to replace the screen. Please take my advice. I ended up with this phone because the screen on my last one broke and would cost $150 CDN to replace. It was smarter to get another phone.

Samsung phones have models with Gorilla Glass.

@Coralmist you're welcome. You can order online for pick up at your local store. That's what I did to avoid the risk of package theft. Took a week because it came from the US. You'd probably get it in 48 hours.
