This is the first monthly summary of Deldur’s US prepaid and MVNO phone plan prices dataset, which went live on September 25, 2026 with 80 single-line plans from 17 carriers. By the end of September it covered 91 plans from 19 carriers. No carrier changed a standard price on its own page during the month: every entry in the change log is an addition, a correction of Deldur’s own reading, or a qualifier quoted more completely. Each entry is listed below, grouped by type, with its date and source.
Carriers and plans added
| Date | Carrier | What was added | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 26 | H2O Wireless | 3 single-line plans: $18, $30 and $45 a month as displayed (the first and third with AutoPay); dataset 83 plans, 18 carriers | h2owireless.com/plans |
| Sept 28 | Tracfone | 1 GB Data ($15/mo; “$10 with Auto-Refill* for first 2 mo”) and 20 GB Data ($40/mo; “$35 with Auto-Refill*”) 30-day plans, read from the plans page | tracfone.com/plans |
| Sept 28 | Consumer Cellular | 6 single-line plans: $20, $25, $35 and $45 data plans; unlimited at $35 for account holders 50+ and $60 for ages 18-49; dataset 91 plans, 19 carriers | consumercellular.com |
On September 28 the hub also gained a computed table, the 12-month cost of each carrier’s lowest-priced unlimited-data plan, which is arithmetic on the recorded rows and uses no new sources.
Corrections
| Date | Carrier and plans | Recorded before | Corrected to | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 28 | Tracfone 4 GB and 10 GB Data (30 days) | $15/mo and $25/mo (the Auto-Refill prices “for first 2 mo”) | $20/mo and $30/mo, the standard prices on the plans page and on each plan’s FCC broadband label | tracfone.com/plans |
| Sept 29 | Red Pocket Unlimited Essentials, Plus and Premium, annual | $10/mo, $20/mo and $30/mo ($120, $240 and $360 a year; the struck-through figures on the annual cards) | $9.17/mo, $18.33/mo and $27.50/mo: the cards state “Renews at $110/year”, “$220/year” and “$330/year” | redpocket.com |
Each correction was published the day it was made: the Tracfone correction on September 28 and the Red Pocket correction on September 29. Both are also listed in the dataset’s change log.
Conditions and qualifiers
| Date | Carrier and plans | What changed in the row | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 26 | T-Mobile Prepaid | The page’s “5-Year Price Guarantee”, omitted on September 25, added to the source line; no price or condition changed | prepaid.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans |
| Sept 28 | Tracfone Freedom Plan | Conditions now quote the homepage footnote verbatim: regular price $50/mo, or $45/mo with Auto-Refill; promotion $35/mo after discount, or $30/mo with Auto-Refill, valid through 10/26/26; standard prices unchanged | tracfone.com |
| Sept 28 | Google Fi Unlimited Standard and Unlimited Essentials | The “Get 50% off for 12 months” promotion carries the text “Ends 9/30/26”; no figure changed | fi.google.com/about/plans |
| Sept 28 | Straight Talk Bronze 10GB | Qualifier corrected to the plans page wording, “$34/mo for the first 3 months with Auto Pay”; the $35 standard price is unchanged | straighttalk.com/all-plans |
| Sept 29 | Red Pocket Unlimited Essentials, annual | The $100 “First Year” promotional price added beside the regular price (the regular price was then corrected the same day; see Corrections) | redpocket.com |
| Sept 29 | Red Pocket Unlimited Essentials, monthly | A banner quote about 50% off the first month removed: the fine print limits that offer to the $20, $30 and $40 monthly plans; the card badge “Now 3X the Data” is quoted instead; no figure changed | redpocket.com |
| Sept 29 | Mint Mobile, 3-month plans | Source note added: Mint’s FCC broadband labels give the regular 3-month prices as $25, $35, $45 and $40, matching the table, while the 3-Month plan cards strike through $20, $25 and $30; no figure changed | mintmobile.com/plans |
Method notes
On September 28 every source page of the 18 carriers then in the dataset was re-read, and no standard price, plan, tax treatment or AutoPay condition had changed. On September 29 the sentence above the 12-month cost table was reworded: read literally, it would have selected three talk-and-text or limited-data plans instead of the rows the table uses. The sentence now names every plan pattern left out and the one plan included by name. No figure changed, so this is listed here rather than under Corrections.
Dates on record for October
Two dated offers on record at the end of September: Google Fi’s 50%-off promotion on Unlimited Standard and Unlimited Essentials (“Ends 9/30/26”) was no longer shown when the plans page was read on October 1, 2026, and the dataset’s change log records that entry under October. Mint Mobile’s $15-a-month introductory price, recorded for eleven plans in September, was also replaced by the introductory prices shown on its FCC broadband labels on October 1; neither change touched a standard price. Tracfone’s Freedom Plan promotion is “valid through 10/26/26”. All three will appear in the October report.
Every figure above was read from the seller’s own page on the date stated; nothing is estimated. Deldur has no financial relationship with any company in this dataset; how the site works is explained on the About page, and reported errors are handled as described on the Corrections page.
