Post by akuser47 »

I amcheap since funding is tight and am now useing straight talk samsung galaxy proclaim my first prepaid. and it is working fine and for $45.00 a month it is a steal. I have to say thast in my area it is working well so I thought I would mention it here. what hae you used pros and cons? My old phone with verizon is a flip phone no data package and it averaged over 65 a month.

We're pretty limited here in as to outfits with good service, but if I lived in the lower 48 I would check into this outfit http://republicwireless.com/ they offer a Motorola smartphone and voice data and text unlimited plan for $20 a month. This phone makes use of voice over Internet technology as well as other hot spot tricks and uses sprint i think when away from a wi fi data source.

If you can MetroPC's where you are and actually have service its only 40$ a month for unlimited data text and talk. Also there is no contract and you can get a pretty good smartphone right now for 50$. Only problem is there service blows in a-lot of areas outside of the city.
