I have tracfone right now, and i'm tired of paying alot for minutes since I usually buy large amounts at a time. I am going to get eather T-Mobile or Virgin Mobile, and I like the prices of Verizon Prepaid, but I would use it in roaming too much and their roaming charges are ALOT! But anyway, Can someone tell me which they think is better/cheaper, Virgin Mobile or T-mobile Prepaid? And any other information about other prepaid cell phones would be great

Thanks

If you want coverage, the Virgin is for you.
Virgin offers phones with Analog and 800 and 1900 CDMA, you should have a signal anywhere in the U.S. unless roaming is blocked. Check Sprint.com for coverage and Virgin for rates and roaming.

If you use T-Mo you will be on the 1900 GSM only.
GSM is in major cities and highways. Probably will suffice unless you travel into rural areas.

I would go to Tmobile.com and Virgin.com to get those rates. Whoever is cheaper is probably the best. Watch out for when minutes expire.
