I have At&T and feel the price is just way too much. Has anyone had any luck with the prepaid phones ... like the one walmart has ???
-
I wouldnt recommend them personally, they usully provide lack luster service and obviously dont carry the same quality as other phones. Have you considered trying a plan that maximizes savings? :o Also, if AT&T doesnt suit your needs, try switching over to T-mobile, they usually have cheap plans. :)

I disagree with hiredshogun. I haven't had a contract in eight years have been using prepaid phone service ever since and will never go back to a contract. The quality and service is just as good and any other carrier. I've had Virgin Mobile and Straight Talk and I would recommend either one.

I agree with dreamyxo. I use prepaid and I have no problem with quality or service. I use Reachout Wireless and just moved from IL to TN with it and it works just fine!! :thumbsup:

I don't have a prepaid phone but have several friends that do and they say it is well worth the money. I might look at that when my contract is up myself.

I used Tracfone for a long time because I bought a double-minute card. I just don't do a lot of talking on the phone. I still have probably 2000 minutes and a couple years' service remaining, but I got a free Blackberry from E-Trade. My son works for AT&T so he's hooked me up on his family plan, so I'll be saying bye to Sprint.

AT&T

I have my family on the walmart family mobile and we only pay $112.00 per month unlimited talk and text. We share a bucket of mb of data and if we run out we run out. we usually do not use over $25 per month. :cat:

well right now I'm using Verizon, but I use to have metroPCS and I really liked it... all I can say is to make sure they're not stealing from you, because some companies are just not worth paying for :-X

I use straight-talk it is the best in my book. you can get unlimited for only $45 a month or for 1000 minutes and 1000 text and 1mb data it is only $30 a month. However they have to types of phones, they have ones that use the ATT towers and ones that use the Verizon towers. My husband I both use straight-talk but husband has the Verizon type phone and and i have the ATT type phone. And because where we live i get horrible reception and he gets good reception.

If you are over 65 and don't use your phone a whole lot Verizon has a senior plan. I think it's 250 minutes for about $38 a month. Of course if you talk to other Verizon phones those minutes don't count against the 250. They seem to have the best coverage for me. :wave: :wave:

I've been happy with my $15 Net10 flip phone. I get unlimited everything for $50/month.

YES i highly recommend prepaid coz u can disconnect it ne time and have 3 months to turn it back on or add minutes before they give ur number away..but after 3 months u will have to buy another sim card so they can give u a different number.

I have a tracfone and it is quite handy. I only have it so people can get hold of me when we're not at home so I use very few minutes. I pay $5 a month to keep it active & will have to buy some minutes probably in a year or so.
-
We have Verizon, we have 4 phones. we have unlimited text and one has internet access. We pay about $165 a month, wife has a discount from her work. That cuts 22% from the bill also! :thumbsup:

I've had a Virgin Mobile prepaid phone for a few years now and they have really neat phones to choose from and reasonable plans like 300minutes and unlimited data, email, and text messages for $27 per month. It's 25 but with taxes comes out to about 27. this plan is perfect for me because I stay on the internet and text alot.the top up cards aren't expensive either if you run out of minutes and you can change your plan anytime, They also don't mind crediting you either, for instance my son purchased two games without me knowing and I was wondering where my money had went so when I called them they asked if I had purchased the games I told them no and if so it was an accident so they removed the games and credited me the money. I was happy because they didnt have to do that at all, it wasn't their fault. Well overall I'm a satisfied customer of virgin mobile and like it way better than other prepaid phones I've had in the past.

A friend of mine does the prepaid route and has it's advantages to a point. I would just try to minimize your plan as much as possible.
-
Ah, cell phones....there is always something to say. I have T-mobile and it has been one of my favorite companies ever! I won't consider another contract provider for any reason. I may at some point check out pre-paid service but my old rate plan is so low, I think it isn't worth it yet.
-
I have a Virgin Mobile and it is great check them out online and see if there offers fit your needs. Works for my family. We have also in the past had a Tracfone but it has limits on it but its great for children.

I have a Net10 cell phone. I bought it dirt cheap on Black Friday. Every month I buy a $50 phone card - for $50 a month web, talk and text are unlimited.

Phone plans (and cable) rob people blind. And they are sooo unnecessary. We have a pay-as-you-go phone that we recharge with cards or online; the only downside is that there is an expiration date for the minutes, otherwise it would be even cheaper!!

Prepaid has its pros and cons, sometimes prepaid can be less of a hassle than a billed phone and sometimes not. If you feel prepaid is best for you right now, I don't see why not. I have a family member who used prepaid for 10 years and couldn't be happier lol
