Right now I pay $73 a month through Sprint and that's WITH a discount of $7 per month. I can't stand paying so much because I never use all my minutes and it's got too many unnecessary features.

I am thinking of switching to Virgin Mobile prepaid. They have a phone for a one-time cost of $29.99 and for $29.99 a month I can get 200 anytime minutes, 500 night and weekend minutes (starting at 7 pm), and 1000 text messages. That should be enough for me.

I would have to pay a $200 Sprint cancellation fee, but I could also likely sell my Sprint phone for about $80. So it would cost me about $120 to cancel Sprint and I think I should recoup that in 3 months with the lower monthly payments.

I am in a contract with Sprint until November 2010 so I think getting out now will be the best in the long run!

Does this sound like a good idea?
