Title: Does anyone know a decent cheap mobile phone company??
Post by: ButterflyWings on June 27, 2010, 04:52:04 pm
Help..I am with one now will not mention name but ugh they are outrageous I have nothing fancy just unlimited texts and 700 minutes on two phones..Which was suppose to cost only 80.00 bucks but jumped over the last few months to 101.00 bucks it is so frustrating I am not asking for a miracle just not to feel like I am getting ripped off..

This is a very good question.  I cannot pay outrageous fees for this kind of service.  Salaries are going down, people cannot afford this kind of nonsense any more.  I know that I can't.

Try out Cricket. It is the cheapest unlimited voice and text for only $40. Or you can go with just unlimited voice for $30

I used to have Virgin Mobile then the cheap plan got a little too much so I switched to Straight Talk for $30 a month you get 1000 minutes and 1000 texts.

I would try Cricket or Boost Mobile, there's another company but it depends on where you live called Alltel I think or something like that. Hopefully you will find a decent phone company soon.

Down here we have a company called Cellular South they have the best service and plans around.  I have used them for 6 years now and will never change.  We went through Hurricane Katrina down here and I never lost my service my mother and others lost theirs for a while before they got them back up.  My bill is always the same every month.  I got the Truely unlimited plan with roaming, internet, texting ( even though I don't text) voicemail, caller id, 3 way calling, etc. Check them out online good deals with them.  Hope this helps ya.   :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

Have you tried Verizon yet?  We recently changed to them and are very happy with the amount of money we spend on our two phones and have thought about adding a third phone for our son.  They have a number of plans including some really good prepaid plans that we had to change to since my husband became unemployed.  They will switch you around when you need to change or add or modify anyything.

IF YOURE A LOCAL USER AND WANT TO DROP 3G COVERAGE YOU CAN GET UNLIMITED WEB,TEXT, AND CALL FOR $40 A MONTH WITH METRO PCS. OR YOU CAN SWITCH TO SPRINTS UNLIMITED EVERYTHING PLAN FOR $60 A MONTH.....HOPE I HELPED YOU.

P.S. I WOULD GO WITH METRO PCS IF YOU DONT TRAVEL OUT OF THE COUNTRY BECAUSE ITS CHEAPER
