alltel prepaid
- Our family of four have prepaid cell phones. With two teenage daughters, I feel we get the best bang for the buck. This limits them on their text messages. If they want to just chat, then they can do it on our phone at home for unlimited minutes (vonage). Our phones are simple, but the reason we have them is in case we need to talk to each other about something important, not to socialize. Our girls have no problem with this plan. We have been doing it for four years and have saved about $2000 for a contract family plan!

StraightTalk rules!!!
- I'm a big talker so for me whatever plan I enroll in has to be unlimited. I've done my research and found that StraightTalk is the way to go with unlimited talking/texting for $45 a month- no contracts, no hidden fees and no worrying about overages!!! Can't be beat - I'm A VERY HAPPY camper!!!

Nokia 7260
- I love my Nokia 7260 it has everything that the current phones offer today, this phone was issued in 2004 and came with all the bells and whistles of today, this is my third Nokia and look forward to my next Nokia which I am researching as we speak, Unlocked phones are the way to go, do not go into a contract, unless is a ONE year contract which are no longer in existence.

Where I have found some great deals
- I found some great deals on websites like www.wirelessmarketplus.com and you use this number to get in with your zip code number 3631407. I get an 18% discount on my Sprint Bill and I think they have a discount with Verizon or T-Mobile or something like that.

BudgetCutter!!
- We had decided to drop our home phone and go strickly with cell phones. We went with Verizon friend and family! We've been with a Verizon for many years! If we have a issue they are always friendly and helpful to make it right! Plus they have Great plans and COVERAGE!! If you don't have good coverage why have any phone no matter how technical it is?? We recieve 2-free phone & the 3rd one was almost free! -we are return customers. (I think you can get upto 4 free phones on this plan!) My husband tried AT&T because of the cool phones! YEA RIGHT.. AWFUL COVERAGE!, AWFUL TECH HELP! UNREASONABLE TO HELP YOU IN ANYWAY! Would not recomend this company!!! It's not just us; even friends say bad coverage. I mean when you can't get coverage in you own home what is the use of a phone! Maybe they should concider up grading there service, and coverage instead of having GREAT PHONES?? Anyway, cut $160 A MONTH off phone bill! And kept our phone numbers Now that's a Great Budget Cell!!

Tracfone works for me
- Motorola W386g phone for less than $30, 800 minutes (plus another 250 free with bonus code) and a year's service about $100. Plenty of phone time for me at an average cost of about $11 a month, including phone purchase. Renewal cost even lower...

Best cell phone value anywhere
- The pre-paid StraighTalk is the best value to take away to college because the device, available at Walmart, comes in several very cool models like the Motorazr V3a with web capability. Best part is that for just $45 a month it delivers UNLIMITED text and talk, and even better, the service is carried on the Verizon network, rated number one in the country by Consumer Report! So there will be no dropped calls for mom and dad and they can plunge into gab fests w/ breaking the piggy bank!

choose visely
- Well I have tried so many phones in the last 5 years and I can say that there is no perfect phone.There are new functions created every week and there is never ever going to be a phone that has everything you want. Always a phone that you like to look at and which has the functions YOU need. If you feel comfortable using it and the mobile had everything you need, than there is no point looking for the one that has EVERYTHING if you will hardly even use its features. Samsungs and LGs are the best!

Mobile Phones GSM
- Depends on what your looking for why get stock with 2 year or 3 year term. best option for phones now days are unlocked or sim-free phones, I always get my phones at selectgsm.com. there cheap with selection at least there are phones you can get where you can't find at the carriers

prepaid is the way to go
- my hubby and i use net 10 prepaid phones.. no fancy features... basically for emergencies and such.. for both of us we spend $30 each month.. the minutes roll over.. at this time i have 600 and some minutes left and don't need to get minutes until mid march... our brother in law is a cell phone sales rep -- even he says for just making calls (no fancy features) prepaid is the way to go...
