hmmmm.........well, for someone who just wants an emergency phone or a
very low use phone this is probably the best bet--if the gotcha's don't get
ya'. The phones aren't available in all areas. In smaller urban areas the
charge goes from $0.20/minute to $0.39/minute. There's also apparently a
$1.25/month charge.

For my usage pattern Net 10 is a better deal. For me it works out to
$15 a month with oodles of extra time in the months when my usage goes up.

Cingular was recently selling out some pre-paid cell phones at Wal-mart
for $10. With their rates, unless you figured on throwing the thing away
when the original minutes expired, it still wasn't a good deal.

so how much air time is that? monthly charge? Call required
per day/week/month/quarter etc? Roaming? Website? How
much left if you don't use it in a year ;-)

How odd! The original poster and all the rave replies are coming from the
same ISP. I smell something bad.

And, while you're complaining about others, you might want to correct
your system date/time.

Afte doing research for this, I've come to the conclusion that T-mobile has
a better deal. Here's why

Buy a $50 phone (after rebate). Get free minutes with it. Immediately or
whenever buy a $100 card (1000 minutes, .10 a minute good for a year). NO
monthly service, like with 7 eleven and most others. Cheapest rate going. No
hidden roaming charges. Free long distance anywhere except overseas. BUT,
the most important thing is that whenever you buy even the cheapest refill
card, your unused minutes carryover for another year from that date.

While you are shopping, visit http://kc5fm.ld.net and at least get a
comparison.

For those that do not like to post in USENET from their real email
address, look at http://www.mail-filter.com for a FREE service that
lets you set up email addresses, ex. [email protected] that
catches SPAM and delivers what YOU want to see from WHO you want to
see.

Let me know how more I can help.

Siince you said please............

It's NOT $150 a year. It's 100 bucks for 1000 minutes. Got your own phone,
fine. They can use it. After the first year it's $10 a year to keep all
unused minutes.

Got it??

It is the best deal for an extremely low use phone, but there are some
caveats.

1. Coverage is limited to the GSM network, which is much smaller than
the CDMA/AMPS network.

2. There is a $1.25 monthly charge.

3. There are not 7-11s in all areas of the country, and you must go to a
store to sign up and get a phone.

4. The per minute cost is pretty high.

A better choice for prepaid, in terms of coverage, and per-minute cost
is PagePlus, however it's a 120 day expiration, so you have to add money
every four months. Also the phones are not free, you need a phone that
works on Verizon (though even older phones will work). You need to spend
$30 per year on PagePlus, which is $2.50 per month, versus $25/year on
SpeakOut, but that $30 pays for a lot more minutes.

This caught my attention as I have 2 new Samsung Verizon phones. I went o
the web site and couldn't find any information. Any idea where to go to get
the details?
Thanks!

Their web site sucks, and you have to by the activation from a reseller.

Go to eBay and search for "page plus activation". It costs about $8 for
activation with 100 minutes of air-time (about $10 worth of airtime).
You can also buy airtime on eBay.

"http://cgi.ebay.com/PAGE-PLUS-CELLULAR-PREPAID-ACTIVATION-ON-VERIZON-PHONES_W0QQitemZ250022630804QQihZ015QQcategoryZ43308QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"

You can see their rates at "http://www.pagepluswireless.com/153035.html"

I've activated two phones, one was a new Motorola V276 bought at Target
(Verizon prepaid phone) and one was an old V60s that I have.

It's a good phone for my 12 year old, and ensures no huge bills, though
she thankfully is very responsible.

Some people are uneasy about Pageplus because they don't appear to be
very businesslike, but they've been around for quite a while, and are
reliable. I think that they run the business on a shoestring, with no
marketing, advertising, or selling costs, with very few employees.
