I'm doing a little bit of research. I'm on prepaid with tracfone and its costing about .25 cents a minute and I want something better. Is it worth it to go to a regualr plan? I'm looking into cingular and their pay as you go seems to be about the same. I looked at the regular plan and it seems to come out to .08 cents a minute. I just need a litle advice to those of you who have plans or have gone through all this and know what is the best. Thanks!

I try not to use my phone a lot. I more want it to be used if its something important. I basically have it to call people only when I absoultly need to. And to have people have an easier time to get a hold of me when I'm out. And to text especially my bf who lives in the UK.

I want something very affordable. I'm on a budget.

There are too many things you have to consider before picking a cell phone provider. Here are some factors you should consider. Note, this is more for regular non-prepay plan.
*Think about the location you are in and see if you get very good reception with each providers.
*Will you be talking with people with the same provider as you, then look for service with free mobile to mobile.
*Do you make more of your calls during the night? Look for plans that are free after 9pm and weekends or pay a little extra for after 7pm.
*Sprint has a plan where you only pay for what you use, prices vary month to month. Cingular has rollover and you forfeit the minutes at the end of the year.
*If you work for a big company or corporation you can sometimes get a discount.
*If your parents have cellphones, then ask to be on a family plan. You don't have to me in the same area code.
I don't know for prepaid plans but when you are on a regular plan, factor in approx. $10 every month for taxes and other crap. For example if you are on a $39.99 plan add for taxes and other regulatory fees. Good luck.

Id have to say that a regular phone would be a much better deal than the pay as you go phones. Most plans start anywhere from 45.00 - 55.00 a month. It all depends what your paying a month now for a pay as you go. Theres lots of different plans on the market to choose from.you just need to look at the anytime minutes and the nite and weekend minutes also. I have rollover minutes on my phone and thats a good thing too. That way your not throwing money away. The only bad thing about regular plans are the contracts you have to sign. Most phones have a 1 yr. contract.

family contributors plan, 800 each time minutes, endless nights and weekends (with nights beginning up at 7pm), endless cellular to cellular. endless texting on my telephone, 3 hundred a month on the hubby's. the two our telephones have the computers imaginative and prescient %. besides. we've 3 traces, so we pay for the greater one, yet we don't use it. I did that so i'd desire to get the hot pink Razr on the intro value. we are with sprint. this is not the appropriate, yet i've got had it tremendously solid with them, so i won't be able to whinge.
