T-Mobile’s New Prepaid Samsung Phone

T-Mobile has some prepaid phones that are very affordable and offer pretty good functionality.  The company also has some really cheap, low-end phones.

It makes sense for T-Mobile prepaid to have this kind of handset available to its customers because pay as you go customers are generally looking for one thing–they want to save money.

T-Mobile has added a new prepaid phone to its lineup.  It is the very basic yet functional Samsung T139.  This is not a very exciting release per se, but it is another affordable phone for T-Mobile prepaid users to think about.

Other recent releases are Samsung T949 and T669.

Samsung r451c Straight Talk Phone Review

The Samsung r451c is a recent addition to the Straight Talk Wireless lineup and a welcome one at that.

The r451c is a slider phone with a full qwerty with a sleek modern look. This Samsung model is a good option to use on a prepaid plan from Straight Talk Wireless.

For $144.99, you can purchase the phone and your first month of unlimited service.  Every month thereafter, you will only have to pay $45 for unlimited monthly service, which includes unlimited calling, text messages, 411 calls, and yes, even unlimited web browsing.  It’s one of the best deal in prepaid especially for people who make a high volume of calls or send frequent texts.

If you are a more moderate cell phone user, you will probably be able to make due with the $30 All You Need plan from Straight Talk, which is an incredible value.  For $30 you get 1,000 monthly minutes, 1,000 texts every month, and 30 mb of data usage, which is substantial.  You even get unlimited 411 calls which saves at least a buck a call.  For the phone and this plan, you will pay $129.99.

Learn more about this phone and your plan options at the official Straight Talk Website.  Since all phones are not offered in every part of the country, you will have to enter your zip code into a field to see what is available in your area for the Straight Talk plans.

When you arrive at the site, find the “Shop” button at the top left of the page.  Highlight that button and then select “Phones.”  At that point, you will be asked to input your zip code.  Once you do that, you will be able to see all the wonderful Straight Talk phones available to you.  You will see the Samsung r451c with both of the plans mentioned above.

It should look like this:

MetroPCS Unveils New Unlimited Prepaid Plan: Wireless For All

MetroPCS seemed to beat around the bush over the past year in terms of what direction it wanted to take its line of prepaid phone plans.

Well, now MetroPCS has taken decisive action and has revamped its prepaid plans.

The base level plan starts at $40 for unlimited talk, text, and web access.  Plans go up from there to $45, $50, to $60.  There is also a smartphone option at the $50 monthly price point.

MetroPCS struggled last year to gain new subscribers as competition stiffened.  The main culprits are Straight Talk (TracFone) and Boost Mobile (Sprint/Nextel).  This year will probably be better for the wireless company.
