Cricket (Not Avail in All Areas W/Out Roaming http://www.mycricket.com/cricketplans Basic Coverage: starts $30.00 - Certain Areas only with out roaming. You can upgrade & get unlimited roaming. They have other upgrades also. CS not the greatest.
All 3 offer web, "Unlimited" minutes at different prices with "No" Contract.
These providers work very well with Teenagers or if you use your cell phone alot
If there are any other providers with no contracts, unlimited minutes that I haven't mentioned can you please list below too.
Metro PCS also has unlimited international calls for an extra $5.00 a month for $40. & Up plans. If you don't have a service in your area you could use the closest to your area and have roaming. This is just an option. If you are looking for an inexpensive way to make international calls.

I was living in Hanford, California and I had cricket service for many months. Customer service is terrible, getting a good signal was like hunting for a needle in the haystack. I moved to Sacramento and changed to Boost. Cricket did not have service here. Boost was even worse. So, you get what you pay for. I used fatwallet as a link, went to T-Mobile, got my motozine for free, signed up for a pre-paid plan, pay 39.00 a month, 300 anytime minutes, five faves, no internet. I have no complaints. Always full bars, customer service is great. I got a $50 rebate from T-Mobile, and getting $39.50 back from fatwallet, so.. my first month service was free, my phone was free and I made a little money! Have a great day. And, thank you FATWALLET!

Prepaid may not be the best deal if you need multiple lines.
is this postpaid at&t account $50 after taxes? because we have a similar acocunt with 3 lines with T-Mobile for $59.95 which becomes over $74 after taxes (but we only get 500 shared minutes). your plan sounds much better.

Is this an old plan they no longer offer? I've got AT&T and it's $70 a month to share 700 minutes between 2 phones. Could also be a regional thing I suppose (I'm in the midwest).

I was able to negotiate $10 off the second line, that part of the plan is $10 instead of the normal $20. It was the cheapest plan they offered, no texting or data included. This is in the SF bay area.

Wow, that's a heck of a deal compared to what's offered here. It's $69.99/month (before taxes) for that 700 min/month (shared) plan I mentioned before. That's just voice, too. I've got a small (8%) discount through work, but that's about it.

Revol Wireless started up not too long ago in the Indiana/Ohio area. They offer plans like Cricket and Metro do starting at $34.95/mo. http://www.revol.com
I added straight talk. Straight talk is unlimited calls/texts plus free 411 and 30 mb internet. The price is $45/month. They also offer 1000 min and 1000 texts plus 30mb internet and free 411 for $30/month. Both are NO contract. They use verizon towers. They are sold exclusively through Wally world. The phone selection is pretty crappy right now. I hear they will add more in August?
Does anyone know of the new one in the Western New York area? It had nice phones but it was a local one? I saw it at the mall and can't remember the name. Wanted to add it to the list. Should we put all these in the Quick Summary for a quick glance?
