Monthly Plans:  

GoPhone doesn’t offer an unlimited monthly plan which we find unfortunate. Other characteristics of the program are good enough that it would likely rank higher in our ratings if such a plan were available.

That said, GoPhone does offer four distinct monthly plans, one of which may be suitable for your needs. The entry level plan costs $29.99 per month and provides up to 200 anytime minutes. That comes out to $.15 per minute. Mobile to mobile minutes on the AT&T network are charged just like anytime minutes on this plan. We note “up to” 200 minutes because charges for other service that you may choose to use, such as 411 Directory Assistance or text messaging, are deducted from the monthly fee so could limit your available voice minutes.

GoPhones other monthly plans provide major benefit in that they provide unlimited mobile to mobile calling to other AT&T users. Given the enormity of AT&T’s reach, that could be very substantial, depending on which wireless carrier your family and friends tend to use. Each tier of the plan structure offers lower cost per minute and more free night and weekend minutes. The $39.99 plan gives 300 anytime minutes, or $.133 per minute. and 500 night and weekend minutes. At $49.99 you get 400 anytime minutes, yielding $.125 per minute, plus 3,000 minutes on nights and weekends. Finally, the $69.99 plan has 650 anytime minutes, $.108 per minute, and includes unlimited nights and weekends.
