$2 bucks a month and NO swiping!

[Frasier1]

If your finger is tired and so is your brain, here is a very cheap option. Sign up for the paid 10 dollar per month plan on Red Pocket. Get a Bank of America Better Balance Rewards credit card. Charge the 10 bucks a month on the credit card. Every 3 months "Better Balance" will credit your account 25 bucks if you paid it off in full each month.

So that comes out to a credit of $8.33 every month. So if you pay 10 bucks and get a credit of 8.33, then your actual cost is ONLY 1.67 per month! Would you pay 1.67 per month if you didn't have to 'swipe'? I would. You can google Better Balance Rewards to get the link. No annual fee. Win, win.

But if I use that card to do grocery shopping I will have to pay nothing for phone service and save $8.33 each month.

I do have that boa master card but use $120/year for other purpose.

I am pleased with my xm+fp , it costs me $3.08/month for unlimited call/unlimited worldwide sms/600Mb(or N*600Mb if switch sim) data.

Oh well. Was going to ask. What if you did it with tpo. Does not need to be with red pocket.

[Frasier1]

mmfacemm what is discontinued? (the credit card? the plan? )
Min68 what does "xm+fp" stand for?

I'm guessing Xfinitiy plus a FreedomPop SIM for data.

That boa card does not accept new user any more. I agreed this is best credit card in the world. Spend $1/month, get $120 cashback every year.

Xm+fp means using dual sim unlocked phone for xfinity mobility(voice,sms) +freedompop (data)

Yes the credit card is discontinued and has been for some time. It was a highly abused card and it is amazing it lasted so long.

Sad to hear Better Balance is no longer being offered. An alternative is to get a card with a sign up bonus which is essentially the same thing. The current bonus amounts range from 100 - 600 dollars. I have made over $13,000 doing this for the past 2 years. In doing so, I even won the "Thrifty Guy of the Year for 2017".
