4 Prepaid Wireless Companies to Consider
Posted by admin in prepaid phones on January 11, 2010
Millions of people across the country either currently use prepaid wireless plans or are considering trying pay as you go plans out.
There are a lot of good reasons for utilizing a prepaid phone plan. It makes sense in a lot of ways.
Many people save money each and every month on their phone bills and it has been proven that postpaid customers (those who have contract plans) overpay on their bills, either because they are not using all of the minutes they are allotted or because they are being hit with outrageous overage fees and the like.
To help get you started on your search for the right prepaid wireless plan, here is a list of four wireless companies to consider. Remember, you have to choose the plan that will work best for you. Every person’s phone usage habits are different, so what works for you cousin Jim may not work out for you.
Straight Talk Wireless has two very good and affordable prepaid plans.
The All You Need plan provides 1,000 minutes of talk time, 1,000 text messages, ample web browsing (30MB of data), and unlimited 411 calls. At a price of $30, this plan is very affordable especially considering all that it comes with.
The Unlimited Straight Talk Wireless plan, which at $45 is still very cheap, gives users unlimited talk time, text, web browsing, and 411 calls. This is a great plan and promises to be one of the most popular plans of 2010.
TracFone is the largest pay as you go provider in the United States with around 11 million subscribers. TracFone always has some great offers on the table and is seen as a “value provider.”
You can also always find promotional codes for free minutes. This is one of the ways people save money on prepaid phones with TracFone: free minutes. Double Minutes for Life is also worth a look since it multiplies your minutes purchased by 2.
MetroPCS has been around the block in the prepaid world and, after faltering a little bit in 2009, will be back with a vengeance in 2010.
The trick in the prepaid marketplace is to appear to be giving away a lot for a small price, all the while not looking too cheap. Also, cell phones generally need to be affordable. MetroPCS has some unlimited plans that are worth taking a look at. This company is going to compete this year, so watch out for some good deals.
Boost Mobile made a bang in early 2009 when it released it unlimited monthly prepaid plan at a cost of $50 per month. It seemed unsustainable at the time, but then we saw companies like Straight Talk and MetroPCS undercut that pricepoint even further. The Boost Mobile Unlimited plan is worth a look.

Samsung Finesse Plus Unlimited Service on Straight Talk
Posted by admin in straight talk on January 5, 2010
Samsung Finesse is probably the best phone that operates on Straight Talk’s prepaid service and definitely the most advanced one. (Highlighted link above goes to the TracFone wikipedia entry where you can read a little about Straight Talk.)
It’s a smartphone that bears a passing resemblance (very passing) to the iPhone. It has a touch screen with haptic response, which means it vibrates when you touch buttons on the touch screen which is kind of cool and lets you know the phone is responding.
Many people are scared away from prepaid due to the lack of phone choice. That is now changing and will continue to change as more prepaid wireless companies allow the use of higher end phones as a way to compete and gain new customers.
Samsung Finesse for Straight Talk is a good start.
