I have Metro PCS they don't have contracts and no limit on calls anywhere anytime in the US..you can text all you want as well for like 3 bucks more. I pay $53.00 a month..I think it's a great deal...you might want to look into a trac fone which is pay as you use....hope this helps... ;)

Pay-as-you-go - I have T-Mobile and love it. You need to buy a phone and buy time for it any place that sells the cards. I get about 2-1/2 hours for $25. Your phone will tell you how much time you have remaining, so you only buy another card when you need it; no contract or monthly bill. Also, if you ever lose your phone, someone else cannot run up a big bill for you. They can only use up the minutes left in the phone.

Tracfone, Cingular, Verizon, pretty much every cellular service offers a "pay as you go" type plan where you just buy airtime in the form of a card and that is all that's needed. The downside to them is that after a certain amount of time, the minutes are deactivated until you buy more.

you at the instantaneous are not likely to be able of get out of the contract so do not difficulty. What you want to do is seek for suggestion from the provider and discover out what tweaks must be made on your plan to decrease expenditures. i do not learn about your bill being "loan sized", my loan is 1450 greenbacks. A base plan with 4 phones must be someplace round one hundred a month. Texting, surfing, emailing pictures and so on. that exceed what's authorized contained in the bottom plan will reason the bill to skyrocket although that, so discover out what's taking place and connect it. And in case you shop on with marks suggestion, say see you later on your credit.

We are loyal Sprint PCS customers, with large family share plan, but in your situation would recommend just going into Walmart and seeing what they have in prepaid track phones. My Mom got her phone at Walmart, and the recharging cards she gets at Sams or Walmart, if you recharge on their website you almost always get bonus minutes. Like when I re-charged her minutes this spring it gave her 100 more minutes in honor of mothers day.

pay as you go phones....there's a million of them! There's even carrier pay as you go ones, such as Alltel, Virgin Mobile, and I think T-Mobile has some too...I'd deffently do that!
