Kennesaw, GA | Considering Leaving Oh well, I suppose this is the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.
At this point, I'm considering just porting my Viatalk number to T-Mobile To Go prepaid. It's $100 for the first year (includes 1000 minutes) and $10 for each subsequent year. I infrequently use the home phone anyway, so no big loss.
I have a SIM pack and an unlocked phone here so there wouldn't be any extra equipment costs. I am seriously considering this option. |

| Virgin mobiles is $15 every 3 months if by credit card and the money you prepay never expires, it rolls over.

Kennesaw, GA | T-Mobile To Go is a better value for me because after the initial $100 topup you only have to add one $10 card per year to roll over all of the minutes and keep the service active. Around the second year, T-Mobile To Go is cheaper with regard to minimum topup required to keep service active.
T-Mobile also allows some roaming on their prepaid service, while Virgin Mobile (a Sprint MVNO) is limited to Sprint's native coverage.
I do appreciate the suggestion though.  |

I infrequently use the home phone anyway, so no big loss. I have the T-Mobile pre-pay plan. I purchased my own Moto Razr and swapped in the sim card from the cheapie phone in the package. I never got 1000 min free (I think it was a $25 credit), but, once you spend $100, anything you refill it with after that is good for one year. I usually refill it on-line with $50 every few months or so. At $.10 per min, it's great for people who do not use the cell phone all that much, since there are no monthly fees. |

Kennesaw, GA | It is an excellent plan! I have 3 T-Mobile prepaid accounts already and wouldn't have any qualms about adding another. T-Mobile's porting department is top notch, so I don't think porting my Viatalk number would be an issue. |
