Ok, These Providers all have there up's and down's. Here is how it boils down.
Tracfone: PROS: Cheap Phones, Works anywhere there is a signal, and
has plenty of Promo's
CONS: Expensive Rates, Older Phones, and Crappy Customer
Service
Virgin Mobile: Pro's: Cooler, Cheap Phones, Flexibility of Plans, and Customer
Service
Con's: Limited to Sprint Towers only, Ringtones and Downloads
Overpriced, and the Constant Nickel and Diming.
Boost Mobile: Pro's: Uncrippled Phones, Direct Connect, Rates, WAP, and all
the benefits of Post-Paid Service
Con's: Expensive Phones, No Rural Coverage, and Customer S.
So, it all depends on your area and needs.

Acutally none of these service providors are the best. The most honest and cheapest one i have found is from Long Distance Post. Phones and plans can be purchased on their website at www.ldpost.com. If you run into any trouble they have amazing customer service then can help any time needed.

Well i think he was asking, if your only option was one of those three pre-paid providers, which one would you chose? Am i right by saying this? Personally, i would chose Boost. Even if they are alittle over-pricey, they have great phones, pretty good customer service and two way chirp! BTW, whats the CON w/ only using Sprint towers!?!?! Sprint is nationwide, and one of the largest providers in the country.

I am well aware of what he was asking. But LDPOST provides service on GSM, CDMA and TDMA netwroks. Basically it gets coverage where ever you need to go, and it far cheaper and more effective then any of those companies. Phones activated on CDMA network will recieve the same coverage as verizon while phones activated on GSM work similar to Cingular/T-Mobile and AT&Twww.ldpost.com

If you are rural based, or have family there, use TracFone for prepaid. It works wonders for my family. And they live in the sticks.Last edited by n1ckel5; 11-10-2005 at 11:40 AM.

Re: Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, or Tracfone?
I have used all three providers. I like Boost the best.The coverage with Boost is better as I travel for work between 2 towns in Ohio and Boost works in both towns. Also, Boost phones have more to offer than the other 2.

Re: Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, or Tracfone?
I'd say I like T-Mobie To Go if you're doing prepaid.
They have great rates and cool phones. Virgin is also good, but I don't quite understand their plans. As for Boost, I only like their high end phones and bad service. Tracfone has ancient phones, but apparently good service.What's my girlfriend doing in your five?

I Would Have To Say Boost. I Have Had Boost For Over A Year Now, And I Also Had T Mobile At The Same Time For A While. Where As T Mobile Would Go In And Out On Me, There Is Hardly Anywhere My Boost Doesn't Work. I Cancelled My T Mobile And I Have The Boost Premium Prepaid Now. It's Like Having A Regular Plan With Nextel, But It's Prepaid. I Talk To My Friends That Have Nextel Without Spending Any Of My Minutes. They Also Have An Unlimited Nights And Weekends Option With Nights Starting At 7. I Live In The Backwuds Of N.c., And In My House, My T Mobile Had To Be In One Spot On My Night Stand Or In One Spot Next To The Front Door To Get Signal. With My Boost, I Walk Around The House And Go Upstairs. I Have No Problems With It. Even On My Cross-country Venture From Cali To Here, I Would Have To Use My Boost Sometimes Cuz My T Mobile Wouldn't Have Service. There Was Never A Time Where T Mobile Had Service And Boost Didn't With Me. My Friends With Verizon Have A Hard Time Where I Live, Too.

I think Alltel has the best Prepaid setup. Just very hard to buy since they don't directly service a lot of big cities (though coverage is provided by roaming agreeements with other providers - no roaming charges though).
