this will be my first cell phone and i am pretty sure prepay is right for me. i read a bit about Page Plus and 700mins for $50 seems very reasonable. do i have to buy a phone from their website if i decide to go with them? if not where can i find a good video phone at the best price?

the only other good deal i saw was from Trackphone where you can buy a cheap phone and 2 60min cards for 20$ up to 3 times then use a promo code to double the cards so almost 800mins and 3 cheap phones for 60$+shipping.

what prepay company and phone do you think i should check out?

thanks ahead of time for your advice.

Any of the major carriers have decent pre-paid plans.

Tracfone in the past didn't offer the best pricing on minutes but have been better lately. Generally any on the Big 4, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint & AT&T are going to be the actual provider whether or not you get Tracfone or another MVNO. The "big 4" resell their services to the smaller pre-paid services. And the smaller pre-paids only rebrand the service into their own name. So if you go right to the big guys you are already cutting out the middle man.

Hope that helps.

You do not need to purchase a Page Plus phone from their website. You can use any Verizon Wireless phone. Make sure it does not need to be activated on Verizon Wireless and with a contract. Also make sure that it has a clear esn. You might be interested in the Motorola E815. Page Plus' rates are very reasonable. I am very happy with my Page Plus service. I hope I was able to help you.
