i recently made the switch to pre-paid, and started with the go phone from ATT and it sucked!! had a friend who worked for boost so i switched and it’s a good deal. so far so good…..
For phones, it’s ATT or Tmobile hands down. Any gsm unlocked phone can be used up to and including the iphone series. For good rates, depends on what you’re looking at. For unlimited, it’s Att with sixty dollars, unlimited talk/text/pic/vid/im/international text. Per minute, they suck at 25 cents a minute. Tmobile gives you as much as 10 cents a minute but no web except for Sidekicks. And you have to buy $100 for the ten cent flat rate. No unlimited on Tmobile prepaid Tmobile To Go.
You have to be careful because the new Att orange/white Gophone sims LOCK themselves to ONE phone for six months. You have to go to an Att corporate store and tell them you destroyed the phone it was locked too, can you please unlock it . Or wait six months (forget that.).
Tmobile sims don’t pull this garbage.
Boost the new version gives an incredible deal on data, unlimited 3g for ten bucks a month if you use the paygo plan. Unlimited everything for fifty bucks. This is NOT the walkie talkie (sucky) version with bad texting and slow web but the new cdma one. Boost cdma runs on the Sprint network.
The good thing about the cdma one is that you can put any Sprint phone on it too as long as it is not a Blackberry, Instinct series, Palm Pixi/Pre or HTC Hero/Android phone.
You have to buy a cheap regular used Boost cdma phone then activate your account, and then switch the account over to a Sprint phone. It is harder then Att or Tmobile but gives you more for your money. Boost cdma has NO walkie talkie and NO sim. ALL Boost walkie talkie phones are ALWAYS Motorolas with the letter i before it. If it is a Sanyo, or Motorola without an i, it is a cdma phone. Their Blackberry is cdma too.
Sprint doesn’t have as many phones as there are gsm /unlocked types but they still have plenty. Way more then Verizon prepaid, Virgin Mobile, Tracfone, Straight Talk, Net10 and others.
