Cell phone companies are evil. They gouge their customers without regard for economic hardships. Break the shackles!!!! Go to pre-paid. StraighTalk from Walmart, Best Buy or Target will give you the nationwide coverage of Verizon's network for only $45 a month with UNLIMITED talk, text and 3G Data. Plus, there are several excellent phones to chose from including the screen touch smart phone Finesse. No contracts, No hidden fees. $540 a month plus the one time phone fee. Nobody can beat StraighTalk. You’re totally right. Cell phone companies are evil. They gouge their customers without regard for economic hardships. Break the shackles!!!! Go to pre-paid.

With service from as little as $7 a month for the minimal contact needed to be in touch and the Double minutes feature gives you 120 minutes for under $20 for 3 months. I save a huge amount of cash.

The reception is always great since it runs on Verizon network. For $45/month, I can talk/text forever and ever and I love it! I also saved a lot of money by switching to prepaid – StraightTalk!

Compared to $69.99 for Sprint, that's a great way to save money every month. Also the coverage is awesome, mainly because it's carried on the Verizon network.

Net10 is actually run by the same company as Tracfone, which is the prepaid provider I use. They are very similar with slight differenses here and there. The main thing is one will be better based on particular usage data. For me, Tracfone was the better choice, but someone making international calls, or more calls per month would be better off going with Net10. @Phillipa

It has a fantastic flat international rate. I pay only 15 cents a minute for calls to the UK and a whole lot of other countries. I came upon another nice surprise after I'd had my Net10 phone for a while. 411 calls are the same price as a local call which is a flat 10 cents a minute to anywhere in the nation.

I was a little hesitant to make the move because of horror stories I've heard about Sprint, but I haven't had any problems. Glad to hear it worked for you, Andrew. :-)

I used to be on a medium usage package which had no texting included. Now I use Straight Talk unlimited for 45 bucks. Unlimited talk and texting so I don't have to worry about overages anymore. Also, it's on Verizon's network which seems to work much better in my area. I did just that recently, and am saving about 20 bucks off my cell phone expenses every month.
