"Walmart on Black Friday" Image by laurieofindy Some rights reserved
Interested in snagging some great Black Friday deals on prepaid phones but don't want to deal with the crowds? If you aren't interested in camping out in big box store parking lots, many of the best Black Friday deals on prepaid phones will be available online.
Unlike the in-store deals that are revealed weeks in advance by leaked scans of print ads, the online deals tend to pop up with no advance warning. This post will be continuously updated with all the online deals on prepaid or unlocked deals that I can find now through and beyond Black Friday.
Prepaid Phone News will be updating this list as deals sell out and new items go online so check back here often or follow me on Twitter or Google+ or Facebook so you don't miss out on any of the deals.
For in-store Black Friday deals see our 2015 Black Friday Brick and Mortar Deal Tracker which lists all known in-store Black Friday prepaid mobile phone deals.
Amazon Black Friday sale starts a week early, Friday November 20 at 12:01 AM.
As in prior years, Amazon won't publish all its deals at once. Instead they will put new items on sale frequently throughout the day every day through the end of the month. Ten special Deals of the Day will go live at Midnight Thanksgiving and 10 more sometime Black Friday.
More deals will be available only through the Amazon app for Android, Fire OS and iOS. This year for the first time, the Amazon app will let you choose the deals you're interested in and notify you when the deal goes live.
Online now: Here are the best deals available at Amazon right now:
AT&T Nokia Lumia 635 LTE Windows Phone $39.99 (was $99.99)

Last year the online sale started at 12:01 AM on Thanksgivng and included all of Best Buy's in-store door busters. Here are this year's door busters. These deals aren't live yet, but I'm hoping they will be early Thanksgiving morning:

The ported number must be activated on a $40 or higher plan Limit 5 rebates per account. The line must be active and in good standing and the customer must pay for their second month of service within 45 days of activation to get rebate.

I expect more deals from Cricket as Black Friday gets closer.
Kmart is another retailer that traditionally puts most of its in-store door busters online.
