Regular readers of the site will know that we are huge fans of pre-paid wireless service, and the recent launch of the Nexus 4 has brought a new level of attention for these cheaper plans. We recently covered the best pre-paid plans for Android phones, but we thought the guide should be updated from a Nexus point of view. Read on for our top picks and let us know which service provider you plan on using.
The Nexus 4 is sold unlocked and is GSM/HSPA+ compatible so it will operate on more than 200 network providers worldwide, including AT&T and T-Mobile in the US. The Nexus 4 supports networks up to 4G HSPA+ 42Mbps, which happens to be offered by T-Mobile, the official Nexus 4 launch partner. AT&T's 4G HSPA+ network only supports max speeds of 21 Mbps.
1. T-Mobile Monthly 4G
Summary: T-Mobile Monthly 4G is our top pick since they offer the cheapest pre-paid plans. Their basic $30 plan includes up to 5GB of full-speed 4G HSPA+ data, but it is only limited to 100 minutes talk time. Many people grab this cheap plan and then use Groove IP to place VOIP calls and save their minutes.
