Just to provide some additional feedback on Net 10... Its one of the cheapest services out there and... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Some details using the originals layout to keep things consistant;

User background. I have owned and operated cell phones on a regular basis for the past 10 years.

Net 10 Pre-Paid Wireless Review REPLY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I use the same original layout but with my scores and explainations using a scale of 1-10(one is best)

7 ----- Ease of phone buying and price. The usual hassels but nothing too bad UNTIL neither my wife nor I received the free unlimited month promised in the add. I guess it took us at least 3 hours of our time to get that straightened out

10 ----- Activation and redeeming airtime. As stated above we had to fight for the promised month. However once we got it... more problems. Now I could not buy additional airtime untill the month was completly expired and the account deactivated! Yes I am serious. Just to buy more time had to wait till the account was deactivat. This of course took an inordinate amount of time but finnally got it done

7 ----- Customer Service. CS folks were mostly nice but impossible to understand. A combination of a heavy foreign accent and routing thru an internet call system (I assume) provided the voice quality of micky mouse on steroids. "Please repeat" became my favorite phrase.

3 ----- Phone quality and functionality. The phone is not bad for the price based on price and the previous one I had. This LG 900 has full keyboard and internet access and facebook

3 ----- Call quality and clarity of voice on other end. Call quality much better than my previous two net 10 phones

3 ----- Signal strength in rural area and ability to make calls inside buildings. Much better signal strength than previous phones

10 ----- Remaining airtime display and notification of minute due date. Here we go again! As you recall we had to let our account deactivate before adding more time. I added 300 minutes plus another 50 for $5 (a "special" offer I suppose). Problem was, after making a two minute call I now show I only have 331.75 minutes left! (That was a SPECIAL OFFER). So what happened to the other 17 minutes? I call them with the usual inability to communicate and after a long rambling attempt I was informed that I was wrong, they were right. Good by. But that is NOT TRUE! Wait! (You get what you pay for.)

2----- Price per minute, roaming, and coverage area. Its the cheapest service around so I give it a two. BUT (you guessed it) YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
