Cricket Wireless is owned by AT&T and offers the same exact service, including 4G LTE.

For $60/mo. ($55 on auto pay), you get unlimited talk and text and 10 GB of 4G LTE data (if you go over, you can buy more at $10/gb, or they will just throttle you to 128 kbps). They also have cheaper plans with less data.

No contract.

Yes, you have to purchase your phone outright (e.g., 64 GB iPhone will set you back $749, but they also have great resell value), but you still pay the carrier for the phone when it is subsidized. You just end up paying more; cost of the phone, plus more expensive service.
