Paying less for a smartphone

CREATED Feb. 8, 2013

If you own a smartphone, you know the bill can easily top more than $100 a month. But there are cheaper alternatives.

 
Prepaid plans are the hottest new trend. And Walmart's Straight Talk is the fastest growing plan. Run by Tracfone, the plan is just $45 a month. 
 
You get unlimited talk, text and data without a two-year contract. But there's a catch, prepaid plans mean paying full price for your smartphone.
