Looking for a cheap plan?

Question

I have decided to conform and get a cell phone. Well, actually, I'm getting it because I'm going to be off campus and away from the safety it will provide this fall.

I'm looking for a cheap (less than 30$) plan. I don't talk much. It would be used primarily to get details straight (yeah, 10 min. at the gym...gottcha) kind of thing. I was looking at some prepaid plans but some cost more than a monthly.

Anyone know of a good plan? Bonus like free long distance would be awesome since my family is 4 hours away.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I am a teenager with a small amount of money and so is my sister so we found a Cellphone Solution with Tracfone. Especially when it is as low as $8.33/month http://www.tracfone.com it is awesome it is a prepaid phone with no age limits no montly bills no hidden fees/costs and no contracts and with all the calling features such as free voicemail free caller id free call waiting and free nationwide long distance. all for as little as $10 a month calculated minimum usage because you have to buy a minute card every 60 or every 365 days depending on if you bought the year service card because the cheapest minute card is 20 dollars and you would have to add one every 60 days it would be around $10 a month which isnt bad. Hope this Helps!!!!!! Tracfone Wireless is awesome good luck choosing your phone!!

P.S. and a phone kit is only about $20 bucks @ your local walmart walgreens and family dollar stores etc. this includes up to 20 minutes and 60 days of wireless service included
And I will tell you when Tracfone Says they have "Nationwide coverage" they absolutely mean it I use it all the time and I would rather have nationwide coverage across the U.S. than have free mobile web on fridays with boost mobile but it all depends on the user preference or even if you want to make the monthly cost go down get a year service card for $100 and it works out to be $8.33 a month which is even cheaper than the $10 I mentioned earlier.

Hope this helps!! :)

Plus they offer a 30 day* money back guarantee + one year warranty on the cellphone at no addl' cost. So what do you have to lose??

I have quite a few tracfones and they are the best phones and service I have EVER had!!!

It also chooses the most reliable wireless carrier for the zipcode you enter so you will get the best possible reception for your home calling area zipcode. Example: my calling area is in zipcode 61554 and so tracfone chose U.S. Cellular as my cellular carrier and it has awesome reception 7 bars!! almost all the time!! So no dropped calls!

I also forgot to mention their is no daily access fees/charges with tracfone or net 10 because all those fees are included in your prepaid airtime card prices. I know Cingular and Virgin mobile can charge access fees daily depending on the plan you select.

I also want to tell you something more about tracfone is that they have "nationwide" coverage in the united states even in hawaii alaska and the U.S. virgin islands. I originally wanted a prepaid Alltel U phone but to my surprise Alltel had no coverage whatsover in my hometown zipcode so tracfone worked for me.

OR

If you are a frequent talker and talk all the time you could try NET10 Wireless 10 cents/min 24/7/365 it is the frequent-user service also affiliated and provided by Tracfone http://www.net10.com It also provides Nationwide service like I talked about earlier and is easier on money if you talk a lot as tracfone minute rates vary with promotional codes that give you bonus additional minutes but net10 is a fixed rate 10 cents/min.

Oh and best of All Minutes you don't use NEVER EXPIRE as long as you keep your service active so you don't lose what you pay for so they Rollover.

I called family in florida and I live in Illinois and it came in crystal clear so the nationwide long distance is awesome so that would help you too as you said in your details that you need long distance included.
