For one of the best cell phone plan deals around, check out what Optimum has to offer. Currently, you can sign up to one plan with the provider and get one for free.

The deal is a mix and match deal so you can easily find the plans best for your needs with the cheapest one costing nothing. Here’s all you need to know before you sign up.

Why you should sign up for Optimum

Optimum isn’t a name you’ll see in our look at the best cell phone plans but don’t let that put you off — the field changes so rapidly in terms of value that it’s still worth checking out. The neat thing about any of these plans is if you already have one of the best phones around, you’re just paying for your minutes and data rather than having to pay extra for a phone.

With Optimum, there are two different options for the buy one, get one deal. There’s Unlimited which costs $30 per month per line. It offers 20GB premium data with 5G access included, along with unlimited talk and text. You also get 5GB of mobile hotspot potential while SD video streaming is possible. Of course, for the price, you get two lines.

Alternatively, if you need more from Optimum, check out the Unlimited Max plan. It costs $40 per month per line. It offers a huge 50GB of premium 5G data. There’s also unlimited talk and text with a 15GB mobile hotspot available. It also allows for HD video streaming with many people wanting it primarily for that reason.

It’s possible to add up to 10 lines in total to your account. If you do so with the Unlimited plans, that means you only actually pay for 5. That could mean you pay just $150 for 10 lines which is tremendous value. When kitting out your household with new cell phone plans, you’ll love what Optimum has to offer right now.

Today, you can sign up for Optimum and you can buy one line and one free. The deal applies to the Unlimited and Unlimited Max plans only but these are the most popular options so you’ll be delighted with what’s available. Check it out for yourself by tapping the button below.

If you're planning to buy a new smartphone, you should consider taking a look at Motorola phone deals. If you're willing to give the brand a chance, here's an offer from Amazon that's going to be hard to refuse: the unlocked Motorola Edge 2024 for only $300, which is $250 off its original price of $550. That's a 45% discount on a device that's less than a year old, but you'll have to act fast if you want the savings because we're not sure how much time is remaining before this bargain gets taken down.

Why you should buy the Motorola Edge 2024
Our review score for the Motorola Edge 2024 isn't as high as its predecessor -- the Motorola Edge 2023, which is still featured in our list of the best Motorola phones -- but it's still a great phone, especially for its discounted price. The device features a 6.6-inch OLED touchscreen with 2400 x 1080 resolution and a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, which make it look amazing with bright colors and sharp details. It also promises dependable performance with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip and 8GB of RAM, allowing you to multitask between several apps.
