I'm thinking of getting out of the contract cell phone plan and getting a
prepaid plan. 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? |

Does anyone here have a prepaid mobile phone? If so, with whom and how do you like it? snerk A cell phone is a cell phone is a cell phone, even though there are hundreds if not thousands of different ones. If the cell phone works well as a cell phone, and most do, the prepaid bit won't make a difference. What makes the difference is the coverage and strength of the network. What you need to do is check the coverage maps against where you plan to be. If the coverage is pretty good, you'll be ok. If not, you'll be out of touch. I sort of recall the coverage for prepaid was different than the "plan" phones, but maybe that no longer is true. Where I live and work and to most of the places to which I travel, Verizon provides the best coverage. AT&T's "coverage" in the area where I live...sucks. Last time I checked at the Annapolis mall, I checked with the guys at the booths to find out where their towers were in my area. T-Mobile was a distant third. But these things change all the time. |

No, crap for brains, it is the coverage that accompanies the plan that matters, not the cell phone. It's up to the provider to decide what the coverage map will be with prepaid versus standard monthly plans. So long as the phone "matches up" with the frequencies of the plan being used, the phones as phones are pretty much the same. |

PS - While JohnH was talking about the quality of the prepaid cell phone service You absolutely NEED to buy a PREPAID CELL PHONE, and they only offer a few models, you can not buy any cell phone and use it on prepaid or convert an existing phone to prepaid. Sorry, wrong again. |

I wonder how many posts he'll make to me before he realizes I won't respond. I think it's about 450 so far. |

It is low-level fun pointing out what a jerk you are. |
