Prepaid is becoming the new long-distance.

The big carriers have allot of excess capacity. Resellers are selling minutes for as little as 7 cents on Verizon’s network. Also the big three are getting into prepaid with T-Mobil selling minutes for 10 cents. With bonus codes and knowing where to buy cards I can get minutes from TracFone for less than 5 cents. I have TracFones on at&t and Verizon and get a Cadillac ride for a Yugo price. All of this is done without the government forcing The Phone Companies to resell the service. EarthLink will go the way of AT&T and become part of at&t.

Also don't forget T-Mobile's new FlexPay service. Same feature as a regular account under contract but with the option to pay monthly without a contract price; get 300 minutes, Fav5 and everything else for $40 per month (rounded number) with again- no contract. The only thing you do is buy the phone ($50 at Wal-mart or Target; when getting a prepaid phone) and having it activated under FlexPay in person or on the phone and paying the one month of service up front.

Prepaid may slowly become this service with large companies such as; Verizon and Alltel. AT&T already has it (GoPhone).
