Trying to find a phone plan that’s paid by the minute, not by the month. I want a phone that only charges me when and if I use it – no recurring monthly fee whatsoever, and no ‘inactivity’ fees either.
I don’t use my phone much at all. Even if it costs $5 per minute, that would still be cheaper for me than even the cheapest monthly plans. And I don’t need any data connection at all, ever. Just voice calls and texts.
Such a thing used to be possible, but after searching and searching, I can’t find any such thing now. Do they no longer exist?


Hmm… Last time I checked, though, they’ll still withdraw from your balance every month whether you use it or not, though … so it still amounts to a monthly payment.
It depends on the plan you get. Either you get pre-paid minutes (which can be bought with cash, which is another reason they are commonly used by drug dealers) or you pay month-to-month.
