If you’re on the hunt for a new mobile provider, we’re sure that you’ve seen every carrier claiming that they have the best phone plans in the market.

You’ve probably seen companies touting all the add-ons that you can get or all about the money you’ll save if you just sign this contract. We’ve even seen carriers touting their integrated customer support systems. Good luck getting a human on the phone.

Here’s what one happy customer had to say on the topic of our prices:

A quotation from a Ting customer on our best phone plans "So I got my first bill under Ting's new cell plans...and it's $15 for the month. That's less than I plaid for my landline during college.
