It is the plans that are the big deal here and not having your minutes expire for a year when you purchase $100 on T-Mobile is a huge win in my book. Get whatever GSM phone you want.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BrianM]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 29th 2009 6:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Which Prepaid Phone Plan Is for You?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/29/which-prepaid-phone-plan-is-for-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/29/which-prepaid-phone-plan-is-for-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[The biggest con to pre-paid is the minute/credit expiration dates.  Many times you can get $25 worth of minutes, but they expire within 45 - 90 days.  Your best bet (with ATT anyway) is to cough up the $100 of minutes because those stay good for 365 days.  $100 + cost of phone ($19.95) = a good bargain for me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jamus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 29th 2009 11:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Which Prepaid Phone Plan Is for You?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/29/which-prepaid-phone-plan-is-for-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/29/which-prepaid-phone-plan-is-for-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was one of the last 'holdouts' and never needed or wanted a cell phone , then my son got a 'better' phone  and I ended up with his trac fone.  I love it! <br>the minutes roll over, i get double minutes every month (an added feature I bought on sale one day) and bonus minutes from a little book they sent me.  I use it mainly for texting since i can get three messages out for 1 minute of time.<br>AND the best past, NO MONTHLY BILL....  when i need more minutes I buy them for far less than my landline costs.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RCAROLL]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 29th 2009 9:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Which Prepaid Phone Plan Is for You?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/29/which-prepaid-phone-plan-is-for-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/29/which-prepaid-phone-plan-is-for-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[We started out talking on cell phones, and then we graduated to texting, what's next?

The rates are 25 cents per minute for the first 10 minutes of each call and then drops to 10 cents per minute. It sound expensive but she doesn't use it much except when she is traveling. most of the time she doesn't use up the $15 each quarter but the dollars (minutes) accumulate.  She has a $60 ballance now.  Our only problem has been spotty service out west. No service in the whole state of Wyoming (except on the Colorado border south of Cheyenne). I use Virgin too but my plan requires a minimum of $20 use per quarter.  The is very economical service for our type of useage.  Most of my calls are less than three minutes.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[telli]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 29th 2009 5:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Which Prepaid Phone Plan Is for You?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/29/which-prepaid-phone-plan-is-for-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/29/which-prepaid-phone-plan-is-for-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[ahhh and what about metro PCS.

Unlimited talk and text for 45 or 1000 min and 1000 text, more than enough for most people for only 30, you cant beat it. And add on top of that that it runs on the verizon network leading to great service. Thats why i have a straight talk plan.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[acez55]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 29th 2009 11:25PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
