Amazon Prime Day officially starts tomorrow (October 8th), but there are already some great phone deals for bargain hunters to peruse. These deals are set to change in the coming days, and we’ll keep your eyes peeled for all the best cell phone discounts.
The advantage of buying a cell phone through Amazon is that many devices are sold unlocked, so you can buy the phone and take it to the carrier that best suits your needs. Still, not all phone deals on Amazon include unlocked devices. For example, you can purchase the iPhone 16 series for just $0.01 through Boost Mobile and pay $65 per month for unlimited talk, text, and data from your carrier.
So check out some of the best cell phone deals available right now. To lower your monthly cost of wireless service if you buy a new phone during Prime Day, you should take advantage of one of the cheapest cell phone plans.

How to find the best value phone plan
Phone sales can be sporadic and vary widely from device to device. Typically, you can expect a price difference of $50 to $100 with most major models. The biggest savings usually occur during Amazon’s Prime Day event.
Over the next few days, the prices of many budget phones will drop significantly. However, flagship models may be available at lower prices, especially if they were launched earlier this year. When purchasing a phone tied to a carrier, such as Boost’s iPhone 16 offer, be aware of how long the contract is required.
If you search, you may find refurbished devices (marked as “refurbished”). These can be hit or miss, so approach them with caution. Our cell phone deals only recommend new phones.
In the meantime, stay tuned to our Amazon Prime Day live blog. In this blog, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about upcoming sales on technology, home appliances, and more.
