Re: Prepaid Cell Phone - Pros and Cons
I have been researching prepaid cellular plans for the past week or so due to the fact that my wife an I have one of the "family plans" thru verizon and my monthly bill is $78 for 500 shared minutes. The only problem is that between the 2 of us, we only use about 200 minutes. She hates using the cell phone and I only use the cell to alert the family that I am almost home and to see if we need anything before I get there. I can't stand getting home only to be asked if I can run up to the store for some milk! I have spoken to a few companies and my number will be able to be ported to another companies prepaid plan. Get this though...verizon said that I cannot keep my number if I switch to their prepaid plan. I guess they rather loose the customer totally. Anyway...By moving to a prepaid plan, I can probably save upwards of $60 per month over a years time (because you have to buy the phone up front and you don't get a "free" phone for signing up).
