Alltel Prepaid Cell Phones
Alltel are a large carrier which have recently starting offering their own prepaid cell phone plans known as U Prepaid.
Plans:
There are three prepaid plans offered by Altel. The first plan features pay per minute calls which are charged at 15 cents per minute. The minimum amount you can pay initially is $20, and for every month that you do not use your phone you will also have to pay a fee of $4.
If you choose the pay per day plan this costs 75 cents each day which works out at around $22-$23 each month, and there is also a minimum of $20 initial balance for this plan. You are then able to add two out of the following options to your plan: unlimited night time and weekend calls, unlimited mobile to mobile calls, unlimited text messages or unlimited calls to your favorite number. A third feature can be added for an extra 25 cents a day, or a fourth feature for an extra 25 on top of this. Any calls that are not covered by the plan are charged at 10 cents each minute.
Pay per month plans are made especially to resemble traditional contract plans, but without the hassle of credit checks and signing a contract. The first plan is charged at $29.99 every month and includes 1,000 off-peak (night and weekend) minutes as well as 200 peak minutes for use at all other times. Calls above this will be charged at 35 cents a minute.
The $39.99 plan offers 400 peak and 2,000 off-peak minutes, with extra calls at 15 cents. And the $69.99 plan includes 700 peak and unlimited off-peak minutes, unlimited mobile to mobile calls and unlimited text messaging. Any other calls are again charged at 15 cents a minute. For an extra $5 users can also add unlimited favorite number calls on top of all these features.
Pros:
These prepaid plans are extremely flexible and will not leave you tied down which is great. The choice available is also extremely good, where you can either pay by the minute, by the day or by the month.
Cons:
While you have many options for prepaid cell phones, once you work out the true cost they can still work out quite expensive. It will behoove you to do a little research into the costs of cell phone offers you may be considering. Dig out your old bills and compare your minutes used and your monthly payments to any new plans you may be considering.
