So, which service provider is better. I got Verizon wireless for two week and I’m starting to dislike them. Within two weeks of service they billed me for months of service I never rendered and though that bill is an error I’m being hit with a one time activation fee.
A $39 Basic post plan will be close to $90 for activation fee of $35 and the basic plan. Yeah, what a rip-off.

Prepaid sucks. I only use my phone when there’s a emergency and I called my relatives three time less within a week. My minutes were depicting my account and I had to add in more money.
My initial deposit was 15 when I got the phone and started the service. Five days later, I have to add in $15 more dollars. Not only that their plans are rip-off, but there’s also a catch on this service too. And no you’re not paying $.25 for a full minute! lol

Hey i’ ve got a prepaid phone. I got virgin mobile and they got monthly plans and pay as you go. For 10 buck a month on the monthly plan i get unlimited texting so maybe the guy who was talking is not very smart and guess what Virgin mobile is the only prepaid company that’s got a keyboard phone and i’ve got it and it’s blue tooth wireless. so this guy does not know shit.

I think Pre-paid phones are great for the kids, they may not be as cool as the I-phone or the Razor, but at least it allows them to stay connect with their friends, while keeping in mind that there is a limit to their minutes.

Phone of the Month

This unlocked cell phone is compatible with GSM carriers like AT full-function Walkman digital audio player; access to personal email
The camera takes nice pictures and videos, and even has a feature to turn the photos landscape, which is good because the screen is rectangular. Really a beautiful, sturdy phone.
