Hate your monthly cell bill because of the high price?

Consumer Reports has found several cheaper options for $40 or less per month.

The cheaper services are available through mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs). MVNOs lease excess wireless capacity from the big four carriers - Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint - then offer cheaper service by not paying for retail store space and huge marketing campaigns, according to Consumer Reports.
