Tax season is the perfect time to save big on an annual phone plan, but what are your options?

It’s tax season, and for some, that means a nice tax refund could be heading your way. This is the perfect time to get an annual mobile plan. Simply pay for a year’s service upfront using your refund, and you’ll have one less bill to worry about for the next 12 months. You’ll also typically get a huge discount over monthly service.

Considering the nature of postpaid service, you won’t find annual plans through the Big Three carriers. That said, several prepaid brands owned by the Big Three, as well as a few independent carriers, do offer annual plans.
