Recognizing The Excelling Prepaid Cell Phones And Prepaid Phone Minutes Plans

By Arnie Shah


When considering prepaid cell phones plans, one need to decide which wireless plan works best for that individual. It depends on their talking habits and the amount of calls they anticipate on receiving. Its' smart to write up a checklist that keeps track of wireless minutes you anticipate getting exposed to on a weekly basis and to extrapolate these minutes into an reasonably accurate monthly total. A Net 10 phone or Trac phone is economical if your anticipated usage is low.

Examine if this prepaid phone is just intended for emergency and not for long talk sessions. Is there any chance for prolonged conversations? Can you put a stop to any conversations that might turn into a filibuster sessions? Prepaid cell phones can be expensive for continuous long-winded conversations.

Another consideration is if you will be traveling out of your home state often? Or will you be calling out of the country like Canada or Mexico? Trac Phone is the only wireless carrier that allows you to call internationally for the same price as any other call. How often will you use the 411 assistance service? That service may range from 70 cents to $1.50 each time you access it. Also, are you intending to use text messaging?

Consider your usage after 9 PM and weekends. Are there long periods of time that you may not be utilizing your phone? If you use the prepaid cell phone often and heavily during the evening and weekends it might be better to tie yourself into a 2-year contract if you are a heavy user.

If you choose Tracfone the Tracfone prepaid phone minutes carry over providing you have the phone activated. Simply add an airtime card to your phone and you are good to go. You'll be informed on your screen of the remaining minutes.

A new alternative comes from long time pay as you go wireless provider Tracfone prepaid phone minutes, the Straight Talk plan. This is a $30 a month plan with no contract that gives you 1000 minutes, 1000 SMS or MMS, and 30 megabytes of data. If you are in between plans and need to shop around without wanting to tie yourself into a stifling 2-year plan, this may offer a way out.

Another alternative to high roaming fees and price-gouging contractual wireless services is Net !0. They offer a variety of offers and phones at only 10 cents per minute. There are no age restrictions, deactivation charges, security deposits, monthly fees, contracts or credit checks. Their flat 10 cents a minute fee is hard to beat. It makes sense if you are only going to use your phone only a few minutes a month. For emergencies and occasional use, Net 10 is the prepaid phone that fits the bill.

Net 10 phone service has many of the features Tracphone has. The minutes and activation day are shown on your phone so you are always aware of how many minutes you have left and length of service available on prepaid cell phones. These are the airtime cards that Net 10 offers: 300 minutes and up to 60 days of service for $30 600 minutes and up to 90 days of service for $60 1,800 minutes and up to 6 months of service for $180 3,000 minutes and up to 1 year of service for $300 Minutes are deducted from prepaid cell phones when one makes or receive calls and are posted on the screen. You are always kept in the loop.

Compared to Verizon Wireless and other entrenched cell phone companies, pre paid phones are the only sensible alternative for low to moderate use users. There are no long term contracts, no expensive deactivation fees, no ridiculous up front connection fees or credit checks needed. Prepaid wireless could be your best friend if that fits your bill. If you are a more moderate phone user, Trac Phone may be a better economic decision than Net10, but either way, you'll likely save big if you are just an occasional user. Prepaid cell phones have a define place in the marketplace.
