The Bad Points
Extras can cost more, long distance and roaming fees can be very expensive.
Some services may not be included.
Prepaid minutes may cost more on a minute per minute basis.

The Good
Prepaid minutes usually cost less than contract minutes.
No credit check hassles.
No service fees.
Are you better off signing a contract?

Well that is a question that only you can answer, while the pricing may look attractive on a daily basis.

Answer the following-
Do you mostly call family and friends
Do you need your cell phone for work?
Do you make international calls?

With the above information consider your budget. The best prepaid phone is always the one that provides you enough minutes at the right price. I have a Tracfone that I seldom use I seldom use that I leave in a car I seldom use. Every three months I purchase 60 minutes airtime for twenty dollars. That’s $6.66 a month. The minutes rollover as long as I purchase 60 minutes or more every at least every three months.

I also have an AT&T no contract, no credit check with unlimited talk and text and it cost $60.00 a month. I use this phone everyday and all day.
