Prepaid Cell Phones

yeah.. thats a good idea. but make sure u always got credit in your account or you will screw up in the time of an emergency :p

yes prepaid cell phones are very convinient. and u can spend within ur limits on phone bills. if it is post paid we mostly tend to go overboard and land up paying huge bills every month

Yes...It would be nice....go for it

My husband and I have T Mobile prepaids and they are alright. They get the job done. We only wanted phones for emergency use so these work great for us, I definately wouldn't use them for everyday use because they can be costly, 30 minutes for ten bucks.

I'm signed up with Boost Mobile. I thought they were alright until I had a little incident with them. At the moment, I'm not recommending them, but if things are resolved soon, I may stick with them. If not, I'm switching to someone else. --- --- --- "I certainly think Britney Spears is the devil. The way she projects herself and the fact that she is so obviously vacuous.

is better with cash money!!!

Yes, I used tracfone the last time I visited the U.S. It worked out great for me because I only needed it for a few weeks. I had no problem with it at all and it sure was convenient for my family and friends to be able to contact me and get together. Next time I go to the U.S. I plan to take my tracfone and just buy a new card.

i am having a prepaid card on my cell phone. Just perfect. This is a very popular concept in india.

I would go pre paid, I'm stuck in a contract with my carrier and it really sucks.

Yes I had one but the service stinked and at the end of the month if you did not use your minutes they stole your money and I just turned the thing off I don't need to pay cingular to steal from me!

Prepaid Cell Phone Is A Great Idea

yah, i use one because i dont really have that many people to call...if i need to contact anyone, i use SMS. it's not bad for someone who doesn't use up that many minutes. you can buy them like 20 or 30 euros worth and that should last them quite a while if it's only for emergency use.

Hi, this is the third time I am trying to answer your question,lets hope it gets through this time. I bought a phone for emergencies only, but got hooked on it, they are addictive. But the beauty of a prepaid is that you have good control over how much you spend.

It might be smart if you don't want to stuck with contract. I used prepaid for a while it because I wasn't really sure what phone service would be the best for me and there was a couple services that I was interested in then there's so many cell phone services where you need to sign up for over a year contract and I wasn't sure anyway :) I think prepaid is very nice if you aren't sure about using cell phone and also want to save some money :)

We have a prepaid cell phone and I think it is great.It works out perfect for us.I think it would be a great gift. If they want to go to something different later then they can.

I got one for my 15 year old last year for Christmas. It was only $25 at Family Dollar Store and I think you get 20 free minutes with it. The minutes are very expensive. Of course he only uses it for emergencies and at times when he needs me to come pick him up from a football game or other activity.

Yes, I had to get a tracfone not too long ago when my cell phone was stolen. The time is so expensive to buy and you'd be suprised at how fast the minutes get used, even if you are just using it for emergencies, like I did. I would consider buying them plenty of time to start off as well. I would not recommend tracfone for teens though.

My mobile phone is prepaid. I don't have any problems with it. It is ok to use prepaid phone especially if don't use your phone often. It will save you a lot.

I have a pre-paid cell phone currently. I have a virgin mobile one. And when you buy the phone they include a $10.00 pre-paid minute card for you to use to start you off. I personally really like that I don't have a contract with a cell phone company. I like that I can buy my minutes whenever I want. It's convenient for me since I don't use it on a regular basis. When I worked at my previous job it came in handy when I wanted to talk to my other half on my breaks at work. As well in-case there was an emergency it was nice to have on me just in-case something ended up happening. It's been a good deal for me quite honestly. As I don't use the phone a lot, but I find it's a cost effective way to use if you don't need it all the time. As the minutes do go rather fast if your a big talker. But pretty much you pay for what you get! And there are no connection fee's. I hope this has helped. You may want to try it out to see whether you like it or not. And if it's a gift & the person only uses the phone for emergencies or not all the time.. And isn't a big talker then it would be perfect for them.. Like I had stated above I prefer pre-paid cards over having to sign a contract.. After witnessing to many people having problems with cell phone companies that make you sign a contract.. I'd much rather prefer this way of doing things when it comes to cell phones.
