There was a service that only charged if the phone was used that day. A family member of mine would turn on their phone once a month, check messages, make a few calls, and then turn the phone off until the next month. I think they were paying about $2 a month.
Not exactly an endorsement. I had unlimited calls, texts and 20GB of 4G data for less than 10 dollars for a few years until the recent price hike every company decided they wanted a slice of. Even then, it came out at about 11 bucks. North American phone packages are a joke with all the oligopoly BS going on.
Really. Can you get a burner phone for anything close to $3/mo?

This is interesting. Do you know the company name and/or have a link?
Not a clue. They got it from inside of one of the big box stores or grocery stores, so I guess from one of those little kiosks they sometimes have.
That exact price with a new phone? No.
Like $10 a month or less by reusing phone hardware with new Sim cards to use occasionally for sms verifications? Yes.
You don’t get the visceral experience of snapping the phone in half that way.
