With so many carriers to choose from, your phone plan is one monthly expense you can easily shop around for. PureTalk is already a lower-cost option, but FOX News readers can save 50% on any of PureTalk's five plans through Oct. 12. Plans start at just $12.49 per month for the first month, while the highest-tier option is $64.99 per month — a cheaper alternative to many major carriers.

How PureTalk savings work

PureTalk focuses on low-cost phone plans and leaves out the extra fees that often drive up plans from other carriers. That means you won't be charged activation fees or cancellation fees. The carrier uses the same major nationwide network as bigger-name providers, giving you broad coverage without the higher monthly price. With 50% off the first month, FOX News readers can lower the upfront cost even further.

Get 50% off your first month on any plan

Without the current deal, PureTalk's five plans cost $24.99 to $64.99 per month. Through Oct. 12, anyone who switches can get any of the five plans for 50% off, bringing monthly prices down to $12.49 to $32.49.

Even after the deal ends, PureTalk plans still save you money when compared to other carriers. Every plan includes unlimited talk and text, and all but one offer unlimited data. Combined with mobile hotspot access ranging from 2 GB to 30 GB, those features add to the value. 

PureTalk supports veterans

PureTalk is a veteran-led company that works to support military communities. This year, in honor of America 250, the company donated $250,000 to America's Warrior Partnership, an organization that connects veteran charities with resources for veterans and their families. To date, the brand has donated more than $800,000 to the cause.

PureTalk also offers 100% U.S.-based customer service, supporting American jobs.
