U.S. Cellular will start offering Android smartphones for its prepaid customers tomorrow, April 15. Handsets include the LG Optimus U and the LG Apex, which cost around $199.99 and $249.99 respectively. While the initial cost might be high, the monthly plans are quite affordable. U.S. Cellular prepaid customers can get 450 minutes, unlimited messaging, and 2GB of data for $60 a month, or unlimited talk and text plus 2GB of data for $70 a month.

If you would rather go without the data plan, you can opt for just the unlimited minutes and messages for $50 a month. Alternately, if you would rather have just the 2GB of data, you can pay $50 a month for that.
