What is the cheapest way to buy a cell phone without buying a contract as well?

My boyfriend wants to add me to his plan. He can't renew his contract right now, so I just want a cell phone without a contract. How can I get a cell phone without spending a lot of money, since I don't need a new contract right now? Thank you.What is the cheapest way to buy a cell phone without buying a contract as well?
go on ebay and find something cheap. All kinds of prices are on there. Just beware that the expensive phones you see in the stores (like the iphone or blackberry) are still expensive on ebay. You also have to make sure that you can use the phone with the carrier. So, if your boyfriend has Verizon, you have to make sure that the phone can support Verizon's network. Likewise, if you have AT%26amp;T, you have to make sure that the phone has a sim card slot and can support the network.



but if you are being added to the plan, you are going to get a discount on the phones since its a new line

The only thing that comes to mind is prepaid or tmobile flex pay or Metro PCS if its in your area. No contract and you pay the bill each month, Go to tmobile.com or call them and ask about their flex play plan. With Metro PCS, it is unlimited for about $50 a month but its only capable in their coverage area. Go to Metropcs.com and see if you are in their coverage areaWhat is the cheapest way to buy a cell phone without buying a contract as well?
If you are being added to his plan, it's just adding a line, you can call the carrier, or stop by the store. You sign a 2 year contract, %26amp; get added to boyfriends account, you are eligible for cheaper prices of the phones!!!
get a prepaid. nearly every cell phone provider sells them. try target, walmart, best buy, circuit city (if your local one hasn't closed yet) or any other electronics retailer.
