College is full of new experiences—and new expenses. Between tuition, textbooks, housing, and everyday costs, it's no surprise that many students look for ways to save money without sacrificing the things they use every day. Your phone plan is one place where choosing wisely can make a real difference.

Have you ever received a text from your wireless provider warning that you've used 90% of your monthly data—and wondered how it happened so quickly? You're not alone.

Wondering why you're running out of mobile data before the end of the month? The culprit may not be your phone plan—it could be the apps you use every day.

Choosing a cell phone plan shouldn't feel complicated. Yet with unlimited plans, prepaid options, family plans, data caps, hotspot allowances, and dozens of carriers to choose from, many consumers end up paying for services they don't actually need.

Unlike phones purchased directly from many major carriers, unlocked phones aren't tied to a specific network. That means you can activate service with a prepaid provider like Flex Mobile without waiting to unlock your device or paying early termination fees.
