Re: What is the best prepaid option for me?
It all depends on how much you want or need to use your cell phone. For those of us who don't use our cell phone very much (say, about 100 minutes/month or less), prepaid is much cheaper. Alltel U Prepaid's and Virgin Mobile's pay-by-the-minute plans are $0.15 and $0.18 a minute, respectively. Neither of these two carriers charge a daily or monthly fee with their pay-by-the-minute plans.
These two prepaids also offer pay-by-the-month plans that I could temporarily switch to if I start using my cell phone more than 200 or so minutes a month for a couple months.
If you can get a useable T-Mobile signal everywhere you will need/want to use your cell, I second Phoneman63's suggestion for T-Mobile To Go. T-Mobile's prepaid is only $0.10/minute if you buy $100 of airtime. And the $100 worth of airtime, and all replenishments afterwards, are good for a year if you buy $100 upfront. |
