Not many people know how to stretch a dollar quite like students do.

Whether you’re a cash-strapped student yourself, or a soon to be empty nester that will set your kids off to college or even high-school, this is prime time to check the best deals out there when it comes to affordable phone plans.

Tello Mobile got you covered with one line phone plans that can fit any needs and budget.

Fact: one student’s life will not match another one’s. For sure.

Their wants and lifestyle will not be identical. That’s why prepaid phone plans work best for students, especially those from Tello Mobile, which have full flexibility as the main catch.

No predefined plans. No strings attached.

You are in control and can choose the plan combination of gigs, minutes and text wanted.

You can start with a lower data plan, like the one with 1GB plus unlimited talk & text for just $10/mo. And work your way up if needed. Upgrade or downgrade anytime for free.

Best plans for budget-minded students

If your budget is tight, forget about postpaid plans or contracts. Those usually mean you’re going to pay for more than what you use and that you’ll be stuck in a contract.

Tello Mobile is an excellent alternative that combines savings with freedom.

No credit checks. No contracts. No early termination fees.

Mobile phones are a part of every student’s life and are used for more than just entertainment as one might think. Study and productivity apps, sports apps and organization, as well as general information & social channels, are in high demand.

That is why data is a must in every plan combination.

Get 2GB of data + unlimited minutes & text for just $14/mo at Tello. If you usually stay more on WiFi, this should be enough. Nowadays, every college campus, coffee shop or bookstore has WiFi so make the most of it.

Freebies: free tethering – a sweet spot for most students, included in any Tello plan, makes your life easier especially when it comes to commuting or having to finish that assignment in due time. Turning your phone into a hotspot is a life savior.

Best phone plans for students on the go

If the 2GB is not enough data for your wireless cravings, we got you covered with a medium data plan for average users: 4GB + unlimited talk & text for $19/month.

If you want to be always connected, the biggest Tello plan will suit you best: 12 GB of data, unlimited minutes and text. No extra fees whatsoever.

If you’re an international student, you can always mix phone plans with pay as you go credit and have super small rates to call your family and friends overseas.

Thinking about a gap year of traveling and exciting experiences? No problem! You can keep your number active in the US for just $5/mo.

Students are likely to shift accommodation during their studies, and coverage is a thing to consider. Tello Mobile runs on a nationwide network. You can check your coverage for your exact zip and, if you need more info, see what our customers have to say about the service and convince yourself!

The habit of saving money in your college years doesn’t sound that sexy, but it will spare you a lot of headaches in the future.

You have a lot on your plate already between studying, working and a having a social life, so don’t let a huge phone bill stand in the way of fun.

Make smart choices, get the best value for your money and spend the rest of the savings for extra adventures!
