Help => Which PREPAID CELL PHONE is good with long talk time & less money on minutes?

by Ed Yourdon

Since I can’t afford long distance phone calls I sometimes tend to make my long distance phone calls with one of those $ 5 phonecards at regular public payphone and they really last me a long time but lately been itching to get a prepaid cell phone. And I’m not having luck making a pronouncement on which type of prepaid cell phone I should get that would offer me more long talk time and less money on minutes.

Been googling for months now with no luck and the prepaid mobile reviews that I’ve seen so far online make it even more trying to choose from…I am still not sure if Net10, T-Mobile, Tracphone, or Vigin Mobile are worth in minutes or talk time????

I am leaning towards Virgin Mobile but I would have to add minutes to the phonecard each 30 days but then Net10 seems so much better becase it has increments of days that the phone card could last like 60 days, 90 days, or 180 days or even a year but not sure if Net10 has decent phone quality status and if Net10 covers long distance roaming oriented phone calls???

Does anyone here have experience on prepaid cell phone usuage with long talk time and cheap usage minutes? I would appreciate any help you could send my way….**prepaid mobile right now is all I can really afford along with the card refills…..** Thank you.

Depending on what you expect and need from a cell phone service, (and if this is available in your house) a excellent choice for you, it seems like would be Metro PCS. This is a very affordable cell phone service, which is set up the same as a prepaid plot, but you are not restricted by a set quantity of minutes. It is very affordable, ranging from $ 30 to $ 55/p. mth.
Just do a google search for it and see what you can find out.

Looking for some reviews from current boost mobile, virgin mobile or straight talk customers.

AT&T GoPhone PAYG is $ 60 a month for unlimited talk and unlimited messaging.

They also offer discounted phones. You can pick up an LG Neon (a touch-screen, QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, video recording, and MP3 playing slider) for $ 80 with $ 50 in airtime preloaded on the phone. For $ 100, you get that phone and a month of unlimited service. If you ever want a new phone, you just yank out your SIM card, buy another GoPhone, and place it in there. Everything transfers.
