Would Like Recommendations

**Its_Donna** · 07-20-2008, 01:30 PM

for a pay-as-you-go Cell Phone Plan. I no longer need a monthly plan and I am looking for a pay-as-you-go Plan.

Any recommendations?

TIA!

I have TracFone. I rarely use my phone, only for long distance or emergencies. But the coverage for US seems pretty good. There are a lot to choose from. Good luck finding one that works for you.

Thanks for the reply - that's all I will need my phone for - emergenices and such. I was also looking at Net10.

I have had T-Mobile for the past couple of years ad I've been pretty happy with them. If you put $100 on the phone, you will get an extra 15% from then on. It's a year expiration too. If you do put minutes on your phone before the minutes expire, then all of your minutes will roll over with the new expiration date. Also, there are some companies that have a daily charge or days that you use the phone and T-Mobile doesn't.

I love tracfone. We have used them successfully for years. They have cheap minute packages all the time. They even have a "plan" for $10 a month if you want to make sure that you don't run out of service days for your phone. There are so many different options. And you can find one of their phones to start you out brand new at Dollar General for $15. Their reception is excellent.

I asked this question a couple of weeks ago because I am in the market for one as well.

I have a Tracphone, too, and I just wanted to say that their reception and coverage really depends on your area. Mine has been mediocre.

I use BOOST you can buy a phone for $25 at Target and you can get reboost cards all over the place for $20, $30 or $50 ....

this one is good if you get other people in your family to get them too because they have the walkie talkie thing on them....

the minutes last for 90 days......

walkie talkie is $1.00 a day and you can talk as much as you want to for that 24 hour period....

the minutes are kinda alot .25 but your minutes will roll if you put more money on it before the 90 day rollover.....I don't use my phone very much so $20 last me 3 months.

JMHO,

We have gone thru 4 diffrent pre pay phones finally sticking with trec. Our main issues has been service. Alot of plans do not give us service where we live and travel or charge outragous roaming. The one company charged 1.50 per day if you used the phone + .60 roaming per minute. So I was looking at 1 minute of usage costing 2.10 then each additional minute would be .60. So the $25 card would only last 2 weeks if that.

With Trec the minutes do expire but no roaming and no daily usage fees.
