Prepaid cell phones- Which one is the best to get?How much does it really cost?

Answers:

Prepaid cell phones are really only the best option if you are mainly going to do voice calls. They are usually very feature limited (only two bands: can%26#39;t be used over seas if gsm phone, usually no camera, bluetooth, or any of that other fancy stuff). They are usually more expensive than a phone you get with a plan, because the phone company makes you pay for it all by yourself when you start out instead of making you pay for it by locking you into a plan and then paying for it with during your contract (don%26#39;t worry, it%26#39;s not a separate charge; it;s included in your plan, ask the salesperson though). A prepaid plan, however is different. You could go to your local cell phone store and ask for a prepaid plan if you already have either an unlocked gsm phone, or have that company%26#39;s phone. They will then give you a sim card that you can put into your phone along with some credit. Remember though, the stuff about the prepaid plan only applies to GSM (Cingular, T-Mobile, at%26t, etc.) and not CDMA (Sprint, Verizon, MetroPCS, alltel, etc.). Again, ask a local cell phone store person about it. I would suggest you only get a prepaid phone if you don%26#39;t want any surprise charges or want to something easier to manage than plan or don%26#39;t really need that many minutes to use. click here for AT%26T prepaid rates:

Virgin mobile on the other hand charges .35 cents a day but with less coverage. I THINK US CELLULAR IS THE BEST PRE PAY THEY OFFER FREE INCOMING CALLS,TEXTS,PICS AND NO OTHER COMPANY OFFERS THAT.
