I just got a cell phone. I’ve been a holdout till June 2008. I’d never have gotten one but I found a dirt-cheap prepaid provider that is actually not a ripoff:
- Minutes last for 4 months and rollover when you add a refill.
- 5.7 cents a minute, 25 cent fee each month
- Minimum refill of $10 every 4 months to keep it alive
- Uses Verizon’s network
- No taxes, “regulatory cost recovery fee”, or any other BS
- Free nights/weekends for $15 a month
This not only doesn’t suck, like every other prepaid carrier out there, it’s a damn good deal.
