T-Mobile, for example, sells 1000 minutes for $100 and they're good for a year. Does anyone here have a prepaid mobile phone? If so, with whom and how do you like it? I've had the that T-Mobile deal for about 3 years. If you do the $100 right off, after a year you can buy any amount to renew for another year. *Gold member or something like that. Last year I think I bought a $40 refill because we still had about 800 minutes left. I still don't know any service that's cheaper for "light" use. But.......any phone is worthless if there's no coverage. From Chicago to Florida - which is where we use it, it's been perfect.. So check coverage first. I've heard coverage maps aren't always indicative of "good" coverage, so it would be best to actually find somebody who uses it your area and get the straight skinny. We bought here in Chicago with local use in mind, but it's worked out for out trips too. *Dumb luck. --Vic You used only 200 minutes over an entire year? Crikey. We go through about 700 minutes a month...of course there are four of us on the family plan, one is a teenager still in high school and another is a college student. They talk a lot, but they IM even more. Thank goodness IM's are free. Even better, *I* don't IM. At all. Hate it. IM's aren't free. IM's are the phone company's bread and butter these days. Our plan includes "unlimited" IMs on four cell phones for $10 a month. That's pretty much free. The three other users burn up the airwaves with hundreds of messages each a month.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Nice dance steps, WAFA.... |
