does anybody know where i can find a cheap cell phone that is prepaid (without a plan)?

Answer 1

I have recently used and liked Virgin Wireless. In the U.S., Wal-Mart sells their phones for less than $30, usually with a few dollars of airtime included. You can talk for 10 cents/minute (anytime, roaming and long-distance included), and there's a 35 cent/day charge for account maintenance. There are no other charges. Virgin has other plans available as well, that might make more sense, depending on your usage. I haven't found anything less expensive or with fewer strings attached.

p.s. I just looked at their website, and they have phones for sale for $24.99 that include $25 of airtime.

Other benefits are that you can handle all your account maintenance online.

Here's an article that be of help to you. How To Buy a Cell Phone Without Purchasing a Plan By Harry McCaul Contributor's So, you want to buy a cell phone without purchasing a plan to go with it. Maybe you’re in the middle of a plan and you want a better phone, or perhaps you threw yours out the window of a moving vehicle. These things happen. Regardless of the reason, you need or want a phone and don’t want a two-year contract to go along with it. It’s going to be expensive, comparatively speaking, but it is possible to buy a cell phone without buying a plan. I would suggest that you first check with your wireless company and confirm that your warranty doesn’t cover whatever happened to your old cell phone. Also, a lot of companies have free upgrades, or at least rebates, after a certain amount of time spent with them. If those tactics are fruitless, consider the following methods of getting a phone without the plan. you can continue reading "How To Buy a Cell Phone Without Purchasing a Plan" on the link below.

You Can Go To Verizon Wireless They Have Prepaid Phones There

Answer 5

please do not buy a Tracfone. Yes, they have cheap phones, yes, they're available at wal-mart...but thier airtime is the most expensive of ANY prepaid provider. you'll find yourself spending more for airtime in the first week than you did for the phone.

my personal reccommendations for prepaid wireless go to Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile. Both offer premium prepaid plans that actually have options like a real plan and even include free minutes. I've seen phones for both at Wal-Mart...yes, they're more expensive phones than TracFone...but, you have to weigh out that TracFone is, at it's cheapest, about 20 cents a minute and tops out at 34 cents a minute (per-minute rates vary as you buy increased value cards). Yes, they offer options that give you more minutes, but it also requires more money. It's simply not worth it and I can't believe they are still in business.

Virgin Mobile prepaid service. I've been with them for almost 3 years now and travel frequently and never get charged more than the flat rate of local service ($0.10 a minute, even when traveling). And about everywhere I go and someone who is with me do not have service, I do, regardless of no bars on my phone, it still dials and I do reach people on the other side. Great service and customer service!

My friend just bought a Net 10 prepaid cell phone and really likes it. You might want to look into that.

Answer 8

I don't know where you live, but my daughter had Virgin Mobile. She was spending $40-$50 a week on that pay-as-you-go P.O.S.

I got her hooked up with MetroPCS, and now she pays $45 a month for unlimited voice and text messaging with no contract. Only drawback is that it only works in metro areas, hence the name. Other than that, she's pretty happy with the service.

Answer 9
