I tried the No contract, prepaid cell phone service with Virgin Mobile once because my son needed a cell phone so that he an keep in touch with me. It didn't have any contract obligation and sounded much cheaper. As it turned out, the whole contact / customer service and billing was a huge nightmare that took up a lot of time to straighten out. I ended up begging to cut ties.

Here are my Thursday Two Questions:
1) Have you ever tried a Prepaid Phone service, or No contract cell phones? How was your experience?
2) Have you heard about any of these major cell phone carriers {Sprint, Att, Verizon, T Mobile, Metro PCS} being better than the others and which?

  1. 1. No, we've never tried a prepaid phone service or one without contracts.
    2. We use both Sprint and At&T and are pleased with both. Sprint is a family/business plan with four users to share minutes (Nextel direct connect and phone combined), and my husband uses AT&T when he travels into the mountains, etc., because he gets better reception.

  2. I want to try the prepaid , no contract but have no experience with it here in this country.

    2. I have no idea which is better. It seems everyone find something good in the one they choose to keep.

    Good luck!

  4. 1) I have not used the prepaid cell phone service.

    2) I had Verizon before, and they cheated my bill every month, so I went back to T-Mobile and stay with them ever since.

  5. 1. Both hubby and I had prepaid service with T-Mobile for years - we both liked that once we hit $100 in minutes, we'd be 'Gold Member' status so for every refill we did, we got 15% more minutes, and the minutes didn't expire for a full year (they don't actually expire - they'll roll over if you add more before the deadline when you're not a Gold member). They also have great phones available for the prepaid service - we've always had great luck with them.

    2. I'm hoping AT&T is good, because we finally left our prepaid mode and got SmartPhones with AT&T and a 2-year monthly contract. We would have gone with T-Mobile, but AT&T just bought them recently. :)

  6. @Margaret: Prepaid phone service is convenient when you need a temporary fix. I used to have ATT and it didn't work at my house.
    @ Jamerican: Thanks, it is quite an investment and when you think every time you change carriers you have to buy a new phone
    @ Old Geezer:I think so too ;-).
    @ Icy: With Joey getting to the age, prepaid service might be good.
    @ Stacy: I think it works and probably with Boost, since they have been around much longer, plus they are owned by a larger company -Sprint. Good to know.

    I use the pre paid phone through Verizon. I like it because I pay one payment and it lasts for 1 month. They will let you know when it is about to expire. If I am short of cash then I wait till I can afford to pay iy and it is back on.
    Thanks, Annette

  8. I used to use tracphone prepaid but found that I was paying for minutes whether anyone answered the phone or not. Then I went to Altell that merged with Verizon. I am usually happy with them. :-)
