Has your phone bill gotten out of control? Enter Twigby!
Do you wish you could pay less for your phone service?
Do you wish you could figure out how to get access to great service/coverage without having to break the bank?
I highly recommend checking out Twigby!
Twigby is a company dedicated to providing fantastic phone service at great prices and they are the perfect option for budget-conscious families because they are so affordable!
Twigby also offers great coverage from the nation’s largest and most reliable network (yep — Verizon!) and has many different options for phone plans.
Why You Should Consider Twigby Mobile
Twigby plans are super affordable with a lot of flexibility — which is perfect for families.
You can custom-build your plan for each individual phone line based on how much data each family member needs. You can also put some restrictions or limits in place for kids.
In addition, Twigby offers a really great range of options when it comes to phones. They have everything from basic flip phones all the way up to iPhones and other smartphones.
If you don’t want to buy a smartphone and just want a basic phone with basic features (maybe for your kids, pre-teens, or elderly parents), Twigby offers some incredible pricing!
Twigby Mobile: No Contracts, Activation Fees, or Termination Fees!
Unlike traditional cell phone companies, Twigby allows you to create your own custom, prepaid plan without a contract or an unnecessary activation fee. (Be sure to check out the Twigby reviews from my readers below!)
My favorite part about their service (in addition to their great prices!) is that they offer the ability to change plans or phones at any time for free. You’re not locked into an expensive contract that has activation and termination fees.
We got locked into a phone plan a few years ago with another company and we wanted to switch, but it was going to be crazy expensive to do so. I personally think this is one of the biggest and best “selling points” for Twigby!
Twigby FAQs

How much will you save with Twigby Plans?
Twigby has plans starting as low as $10 per month for just talk and text. And data plans start as low as $15 per month (with unlimited talk & text)! Even a cell phone plan with unlimited talk and text and 10 GB of data only costs you $30 per month — which is a lot less than you’ll usually pay!
With these kinds of prices, it’s worth checking to see if Twigby might save you money each month on your family cell phone bill — even if you’ve been on a family plan with a provider for a decade!
Get this: The average family that switches to Twigby saves $80 on their cell phone bill, which equates to an annual savings of $960! See how much you could save with Twigby’s handy dandy calculator (click on “compare us” up top!)

Twigby Phones
Twigby doesn’t just offer fantastic prices on cell phone service; you can also get great deals on phones from them! So they are a one-stop shop for saving money on phones for your family!
If you aren’t planning to buy the fanciest of smartphones, be sure to check out all of the simple and affordable phones they offer.
And if you already have a phone you like, most of the time you can keep your current phone and just order a free Twigby SIM Card!
Is Twigby coverage good?
A lot of times budget phone plans like this don’t offer very good coverage, but Twigby’s coverage is really exceptional since they utilize the Verizon network.
And this is what really sets Twigby apart from other budget cell phone service companies. You might find slightly lower prices at a similar type of company, but they probably aren’t using this same coverage. (So be careful when comparing just price alone! Be sure to check which network they use.)

Allison says
Just signed up for a basic flip phone for my daughter! Only downside we discovered – the 50% off for 6 months is only if you’re bringing over a number from another provider 🙁 So since we’re keeping our own provider and just using Twigby for our daughter, the discount is only 25% for 6 months. Still worth it to find service with a basic phone, but wanted to mention to anyone who may be shopping under similar circumstances.
Crystal Paine says
Thank you so much for mentioning that. Were you able to get the $15 credit with coupon code?
Tom Esker says
Ported my Samsung Galaxy S9 over from Verizon 5 months ago and have been very happy with Twigby running on the Sprint network for the price. They are now switching over to the Verizon network and I got set up yesterday and have fantastic coverage now – except the new network no longer supports wifi calling – which is a bummer because cell coverage is terrible where I work 🙁
Jordan says
I’m so happy you are having such a great experience! I am sorry for the loss of that feature with the new set-up! -Jordan, MSM Team

Claire says
We just switched from Ting to Twigby a couple of days ago, and already I can see a major improvement. Don’t get me wrong, Ting was a great deal. But we’ll be saving even more money with Twigby, and we’re already seeing some perks. When we signed on with Ting four years ago, we bought refurbished phones from them. Right away there were issues with the phones. Mine was so bad we had them exchange it for a replacement, but even so, there have been issues from the beginning. They lose their charge really quickly, and are too old for updated versions of several apps we would like to use. When we switched to Twigby, we bought refurbished phones from them, and the phones seem as good as new. My only complaint is that I wish there was an option to speak to their Customer Service agents over the phone. But otherwise, so far I can’t recommend Twigby enough!
Jordan says
Yay! I’m so happy to hear you are having a great experience. Thank you for sharing your feedback! -Jordan, MSM Team
John mcfolley says
WOW. Looks like it’s gonna be a good option for my Son
Allison says
We’ve been with Republic Wireless for several years now – they also piggy-back off WiFi when possible to give cheaper rates; when I last checked it was very comparable to Twigby in pricing so not worth the switch for us. The only downside – no flip phones with Republic, so we will likely look again in a couple years when the time comes for our kiddos to start getting phones and we want one without internet access! Thanks for sharing so we know alternatives out there!
Crystal Paine says
You are so welcome!
Michelle says
I used to have Republic Wireless, but switched to Twigby a few months ago as it’s even cheaper for me. Since I’m a SAHM (so I can use my in-home wifi instead of data) that doesn’t talk on the phone much, my plan with the lowest minutes and data – and the 25% off – is about $11/mo.
Crystal Paine says
Yay! Thank you so much for sharing!
Jennifer says
We have been using for awhile. Awesome company and they have incredible customer service!
Crystal Paine says
Oh yay! I love to hear that!
Tim says
Hmm…I just left the Twigby page and 300 minutes, 5 gig of data with free texting is $29 with 25% discount for the next 6 months. Sounds cheaper than T mobile to me.
Lynn R Dudenhoefer says
I have,been with Twigby for a year and absolutely love them. I love how you can customize your plan. I have my payment deducted from my checking account. You get unlimited texting and pick how much phone and data you need. They always notify you if you are running low but the overage plan is great. Customer service with this company is fantastic. I was with Tracfone before this and getting ahold of CS was difficult and I often found them to be rude. In addition to the above my coverage with Twigby is much better.
ANGELA says
I signed my daughter up for Twigby when she turned 13.
Her first phone was under $50. We set up service for $9 – 300 minutes, unlimited text, wifi only. It worked perfectly for her for a year.
Since I don’t expect a cheap phone to last forever, I wasn’t surprised when it stopped charging after a year. We just ordered her an iPhone. It arrived a week earlier than expected and was super easy to activate.
I used the chat support several times in trying to decide on her 2nd phone. Each time, the rep was very knowledgeable and helpful.
I’ve been very happy with both the service and support. It was our perfect solution to the dilemma of when to get a teenager a phone.
Judy says
So I am going to give Twigby a try – I just ordered the phone and plan. With the plan I selected which was unlimited talk (I will only use wifi option) I will be saving apx $50 a month. I currently have Verizon – basic plan unlimited talk/text/2 g of data I keep my data off most time hardly use at all total cost per-month $73.00 with them.
Plus – I did use the chat system during purchase and they were most helpful and it was quick.
Greta says
I was nervous that when my kids opened their phones for christmas that they would work right. THEY WORK GREAT. They love them. THank you CRYSTAL and TWIGBY. You’re both life savers.
Meg says
Yay!! This makes us SO happy! 🙂 -Meg, MSM Team
Emily says
My son has been begging for an iPhone and I thought it was an absolutely ridiculous request until I found this company through your site. Got him the iPhone 6 for Christmas…can’t wait to see his eyes light up when he opens it! 🙂
Meg says
YAY! -Meg, MSM Team
julie says
We have been with Sprint forever. So sick of them raising prices. We switch to Twigby 2 months ago. WE LOVE IT. Just added our daugheter. 50 % off , free shipping and she gets an iphone WOOT WOOT!!!
Crystal Paine says
YAY!!
Amber J. says
Crystal, thanks for sharing about this. My husband and I are planning on getting our daughter her first phone as a Christmas and 12th birthday present. After doing a lot of research, we’ve decided to go with Twigby. We are so excited to get her first phone, and we know she will be too!
Crystal Paine says
YAY!
Samantha mcgregor says
My husband switched two phone to Twigby in May. We just ordered another for our sons first phone. We cannot tell a difference from when we had ATT with service, but our bill is close to 70% less. Cant thank you enough for telling me about this. Been a life saver.
Meg says
That is SO great to hear!! -Meg, MSM Team
darla zeba says

We have twigby and we receive calls and text from canada. We also use facetime on wifi more than anything.
Lynette says
Hi Crystal!! I’ve been looking to get a phone for my 14 y/o daughter, and after reading this, we decided to go with Twigby! We loved it so much after the first month that I also switched over, and we’re now working on getting my mom switched too. Thank you for sharing about this comapny!
Crystal Paine says
Oh good! I’m SO glad to hear this!
Mary says
I’d like to use the referral program, but I need to have a current user’s name, email, and phone number. I’m not sure if anyone would be comfortable sharing that info with me so that we each get a $20 credit, but thought I’d ask. Thanks!
Heather M. says
I’m currently looking for a referral person as well? Any takers? Thanks.
Jennifer says
I would like to know if Twigby lets you turn on the data at a moments notice. I have Ting which lets me turn on the data at anytime (for example if a person got lost and needed a map, not that has happened to me). With Ting I pay for what I use without presetting the data or minutes or texts.
Thanks
Twigby says
Yes! With Twigby, you can turn on/off your data, minutes, and even texts. In fact, you can temporarily suspend them all at once, or individually. Much like Ting, you can simply choose a starting plan and only pay for what you use. However, at Twigby, we give you the option to accept moving to the next plan with our free overage protection.
RacheL says
WOW!!! This is just in time. I wanted to get an iphone for my daughter since they have the parental restrictions but I didn’t want to pay a lot. Twigbys prices are great and the services is more than reasonable. Thank you for SHARING!!

You’re so welcome! -Meg, MSM Team
