TL;DR: Get the budget-friendly Tello Value Prepaid 6-Month Plan for $41.65, down from $84.


It costs a lot to stay connected. In fact, the average person spends about $1,188 per year – or about $99 a month – according to a recent Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey. And the sad part is most of us don't even use all that our cell phone plans have to offer, so a huge chunk of that $1,188 goes to waste.

What if – now hear us out – you could ditch your expensive cell phone plan and opt for something cheaper and more customized? We know it seems practically impossible in the age of giant telecommunication conglomerates, but you actually do have other options. Like Tello.

Tello allows users to build a plan that works for them and provides more wireless freedom with no contracts and no extra fees. It offers coast-to-coast 4G LTE wireless coverage through the Nationwide Sprint Network, plus minutes to Canada, China, and Mexico. Since there's no contract, you can stay as long or as short as you'd like without risking early termination fees. There's something particularly freeing about that.

Even better, right now you can get a 6-Month Prepaid Plan with unlimited talk and text, plus 2GB of LTE data for less than you'd normally pay for one month of your current plan. Plus, you can knock off an extra 15% from the already-on-sale price with this Black Friday deal.

Usually $84 for a six-month plan, it's currently available for just $49. When you use the code BFSAVE15, you can slash another 15% off and get it for just $41.65. For what it's worth, that's less than $7 a month.
