Re: new low price.. Actually, you've been able to get SOME decent-quality PAYG phones on almost every carrier; it's just not the same phones on every carrier. One of the most popular phones on both VZ's prepaid and standard-contract sides was Samsung's SCH-a610; in fact, it was one of the few phones that actually overlapped. I bought my prepaid SCH-a610 because my Mom had the same phone (she was then, and is now, a VZW customer) and thus had NO retraining (not to mention that my prepaid phone had all the VZW-VZW minutes I could eat 24/7, which *was*, after all, why I got the phone in the first place). I used it as a straight phone, which means I needed two (and only two) features - great call quality and great coverage. VZW gives great coverage (never got hit with a roaming charge, not even in Las Vegas, which was then, and is now, practically in Sprint's front yard), and the Samsung is arguably one of the great VGA-screen cell phones when it comes to call quality (some of us actually DON'T want a phone equipped with a truckload of features we won't use).
I still have the phone, and use it as a watch/timer (I made the mistake of leaving VZW prepaid after getting a prepaid phone from another carrier as a Christmas present), and will, when possible, go back to VZW (even if I have to switch phones). |
