Here's an idea: How about zero days?

I admittedly don't get how this is even a thing, having bought unlocked phones for prepaid service going on 14 years now. Wait for a sale on a phone, get a high-end device for like $800 (financing always available), and pay $200 once a year for service.

It's appalling to me that people think more than $17/month for cell service is reasonable.

$800-$1000 up front is a whole lot of money for a lot of people. Also, where did you find a phone plan for $200 year? Asking for a friend...

5GB/month Mint Mobile plan. Eight years in, and it started as 2GB. I buy my music, so I don't stream. Most data use is background stuff with apps.
