Loren and I have both wanted to get smartphones for a while. Life really is fine without one, but they are also super convenient and helpful for SO many reasons. But we couldn't afford them with our current phone plan. We were paying $60/month (for two phones) for talk & text, which isn't bad, but we didn't want to go over that in paying for data.
A while back I had heard about this cell phone service called ting and about how great it was. I quickly forgot about it, since everyone has "the best" phone service plan. But then I came across it again on a “life on a budget” blog (Frugality Gal) and did a lot more research on it. After researching and convincing ourselves to try something new, we switched over to ting, got smartphones and are now living happily ever after.

It works like this:
You can either bring your own device (must be Sprint) or buy one from ting or cheaper places (we used Swappa).
We've been using ting for about 3 months now and it has been wonderful. No problems with coverage, billing, etc., and the customer service is top-notch. We haven't paid more than $50/month (mostly under $40) for two phones with talk/text/data.
