Our takeEditorial
Ten dollars a month for talk, text, and 100+ countries international calling on T-Mobile - the cheapest plan that's still a real phone plan.

The Optimist
“$10 a month and calls to 100+ countries. For a Wi-Fi-only phone, that's a working phone plan.”
— the angel on your shoulder
The Cynic
“No data is fine until the GPS needs cellular. Then the $10 plan is ten dollars too many.”

Our review

Gen Mobile's Talk & Text plan at $10/month is as minimal as phone plans get: unlimited talk and text, international calling to 100+ countries, and no data whatsoever.

It runs on T-Mobile's network, which has good urban coverage and improving rural reach. The international calling coverage - 100+ countries included - is notable for a $10 plan; most carriers charge several times this for that feature alone. This is a plan for a phone that stays on Wi-Fi, makes calls, and occasionally texts.

The moment cellular data is needed, this plan doesn't have it.

What we love
  • $10/month is one of the lowest legitimate plan prices available
  • T-Mobile's network coverage
  • International calling to 100+ countries included
  • No contract, no activation fee
What we don't
  • No data at all - not even a small data allotment
  • No hotspot
  • T-Mobile's network can be thinner than AT&T or Verizon in rural areas
  • Useless without Wi-Fi for data needs
