It's almost a given these days that you have a cell phone bill. As my contract expired with AT&T, I looked towards some other plans. One thing I never considered was pre-paid. When I found out that Net10 used the Verizon/At&T network to service their customers and saw their prices, I took the leap. It actually ended up being a great change. There was no risk at all since there were no contracts. I'm very pleased with my service now, and it's def a way to save some dough every month.

I figured, why get tied down in a contract that has you paying out your nose every month when you can pay by the month and save hundreds. The funny thing is that I'm getting this great deal and still getting to use the Verizon towers with my service. You won't be able to find a better deal and a better service out there.

That sounds like a great plan....Never really thought of that or even known that T-mobile offers that. Sounds like it'd be a great phone for a person who only uses a phone during emergencies.

The airtime is linked to doing chores, keeping up grades etc. I got my kids the Straight Talk $45.00pm prepaid unlimited calling, texting and data connection and they love it.

I recently was able to purchase a brand new phone with no contract for only 19.99 and it came with a $25.00 sim card. When I need to refill my minutes I hit up ebay and find a 1000 minute card for only $88. The minutes last for an entire year. A text message only costs 1/2 a minute. Last week a bit the bullet and purchased a magic-jack. Now i'm able to use that when I'm a home, and the prepaid card when out and about. I estimate that I use maybe 100 minutes a month on the road, and the rest is unlimited on the magic-jack at home. With this plan I'm spending $10.50 a month for all of my phone needs, with no contract. I’ve found that the T-Mobile prepaid phone plan is excellent.
