| Main reason I am probably going prepaid and voip
I text message on my phone and to think I have to pay 40 bucks for the lowest plan and either add 15-20 dollars a month to get unlimited text messaging or to pay 20 cents a message. Right now I have a family plan but we are all graduated and going separate ways, so we are on our own. I cannot justify 55 bucks a month for a cellphone with basic features built in. For that price I would want to surf the web, but of course that is another 20-30 bucks. I've decided it would just be cheaper to get a prepaid phone for emergencies and use voip on a cordless phone while home. Maybe when cellphones cost 40 bucks a month with free text and web, I'll take another look. |

Schererville, IN | Nice in all but very limited. Cricket is the only one that covers Kansas City and it is worthless if I travel. Sprint would be good if it didn't require such a long contract. Looks like prepaid is the way to go. |

I was kind of in the same boat as you were in. I didn't want to pay a ton of money for service, even more for texting, and even more for internet. But my wife insisted on getting cell phones for the two of us so we can always be in contact (yea  ).
We ended up going with T-Mobile. We got a family myFaves plan which runs $60 for 900 minutes plus we each get 5 "faves" that we get unlimited calling. Individual plans are also available starting at $40 or less if you don't want the myFaves. T-Mobile has an under-advertised internet plan called t-zones that gives you unlimited e-mail and proxied web for 5.99. Screw text messages when you can send a real e-mail and with e-mail to text message gateways, you can still send TM to others. |

Cricket offers roaming but its limited to 200minutes per month out side of the Cricket networks.
Did you look at TM? they offer FlexPay the benefits of a contract but without one? go to Wal-mart but a $70 phone call TM up and activate it under flex pay. You'll pay your first month up front but its nationwide service and no contracts. its month to month. don't like the service cancel before the next billing cycle. I have it and like it. |
