Identifying The Preferred Prepaid Cell Phones And Prepaid Phone Minutes Plans

By Craig Buckminster


What prepaid cell phone plan will best work for you? You'll need to ask yourself, how many phone minutes do you usually talk or will be talking on a cell phone in a week? Try to be accurate about this number since if it is higher than your estimate, you'll be restricting yourself, or more accurately, your budget. For limited usage a Net 10 phone or Trac phone prepaid cell phones may be your most economical answer.

An important consideration is if you are of the temperament to cut conversations short. Will this phone be used for just emergency calls? Can you put a stop to long-winded calls you might receive or be enticed to participate in? Prepaid cell phones could be expensive for chatterboxes.

Are you anticipation calling out of the country? Trac Phone is the only wireless carrier that allows you to call internationally (sixty countries) for the same price as any other call. Are you going to be calling often for 411 assistance? The 411 cost $1.50 each time it is used. The standard TracFone is going to get coverage almost anywhere in the country where a cellular signal is available and the signal is strong, so that is not a problem.

Are you a heavy wireless phone user? Are you busy taking weekends and after 9 PM? Or are there long periods of time where your wireless phone usage is scant? Prepaid cellular in the form a Net 10 phone or Tracfone prepaid phone service is more on the order for occasional use customers. Heavy users should take the plunge into 2-year contracts with their exorbitant activation and disconnect fees.

If you choose Tracfone the Tracfone prepaid phone minutes carry over providing you have the phone activated. Simply add an airtime card to your phone and you are good to go. You'll be informed on your screen of the remaining minutes.

Tracfone is the leader in the prepaid wireless cellular industry. It is conveniently accessible online and it is also available at over 60,000 retailers nationwide. Tracfone has over 12 million subscribers. Recently, TracPhone also released a $30 Straight Talk plan that includes 1,000 minutes and 1,000 text messages.

Another option is the Net10 Wireless is a pay-as-you-go prepaid wireless service offering all local, long distance and roaming calls at one low price of 10 cents per minute. Interestingly, all Net10 prepaid wireless service is provided by TracFone Wireless, Inc, America's #1 prepaid wireless company.

Net 10 phone service has many of the features Tracphone has. The minutes and activation day are shown on your phone so you are always aware of how many minutes you have left and length of service available on prepaid cell phones. These are the airtime cards that Net 10 offers: 300 minutes and up to 60 days of service for $30 600 minutes and up to 90 days of service for $60 1,800 minutes and up to 6 months of service for $180 3,000 minutes and up to 1 year of service for $300 Minutes are deducted from prepaid cell phones when one makes or receive calls and are posted on the screen. You are always kept in the loop.

Net10 airtime is cheaper per minute, but if you are only planning on talking a few minutes per month it would still be cheaper to go with TracFone prepaid cell phones. A 150 minute 1-year TracFone card only costs $90 so if you anticipate very limited usage a yearly plan with Trac phone makes more sense.
