What is the best pre-paid cell phone Service???

I think that all prepaid phones are actually not that great of deals. What they recently started in my town was Cricket. There is no credit check. It's $45 or $50 a month for unlimited time and unlimited text messaging. If you figure a $20 prepaid card gets you about an hour and a half and say you buy one a week it's definitely cheaper to go with an actual plan of some sort.
