I have a pay as you go with Verizon wireless. But, it is not really pay as you go!!!
I have to pay at least $15.00 a month. Even if I still have minutes at the end of the month, I still have to buy a minimum of $15.00 every month! Otherwise, I will lose the number.
Is this plan the same?
I mean, ideally, I would like to have a phone that I would pay for only when I used it. Is there such a plan?

Navid,
This phone comes with 10 minutes of airtime, you have to put new time in it every 2 months or you lose the number.
So, for $20 you get the phone plus 50 minutes of airtime. There is no additional charges on these phones.

Let me rephrase, they do not charge you extra per month or anything, but some features, such as roaming uses 2Xs the minutes.
Thanks for the reply. It sounds like it is like my phone. Do you know what is the minimum amount I have to pay every 2 months? Is it less than $30.00?
there's also a card to get 300 minutes for $90 that covers you for a whole year. if you don't talk that much then it makes the most sense.
just a warning, though, tracfone's website is HORRIBLE, as is the process for adding time to your phone. doing it over the phone (automated) is absolutely horrible and incredibly slow, and doing it online often times out in the middle.
also, the local area (where 1 minute = 1 unit of air time) is relatively small. also, i've seen many people get nearby area codes, and there's nothing you can do to change it.

they only ask you to buy the airtime every two month.

I work in the cell phone industry, and let me say this: The Motorola 120c/e/all variations are craptacular phones. I've never seen a phone with so many issues. It was the most commonly returned phone for my company for the 2 years we offered it; the 2nd most common phone only had 58% the amount of returns as the Moto 120.
And it looks like these are reconditioned - i.e. somebody else already realized they didn't like em.
Other than that, looks like a nice deal.
Good luck

I've never had problems with the Motorola 120.
Not true...i had a problem with some tracfones over the summer where i ended up having to get the number changed (twice, in fact), and while their customer service leaves something to be desired, you actually can change your number if need be.
The pay as you go programs here in the US really suck, just get a plan for like $30/month. You'll see that you'll end up spending at least that amount with the pay as you go program and not get nearly enough minutes.
Not that great of a deal. I got a tracphone last year with 150 minutes and inside was a coupon to double it 300 minutes for 100 dollars and the minutes are good for a year.

A co-worker dumped his Verizon phone after nearly 8 years because he was only using around 50 min/month for his 35.00/month plus taxes. He went with T-Mobile pay-as-you-go. He bought 1000 minutes for 100.00 that is good for a year. That's 0.10/min and around 8.00/month average, assuming you would use around 80 minutes/month. Even if the minute aren't all used up, just buy more before the year is up and they roll over. He bought a new phone off eBay and and just ported his Verizon number to T-Mobile.

woops, that came out wrong. i mean at the time of purchasing, you don't have control over what your area code is. i never tried to change an area code for one. (we sold these at the radioshack where I worked)
I saw something that I'm probably going to get.

You only have to use once every 60 days to keep it active.
They also have this deal:
Sti mobile Phone free after rebate

This is the best type of deal for Tracfone. You might occasionally find a code to get the 1yr for a little less ($~70) or more minutes for the full price. Either way, you get a year's worth of service and the following year, your units carry over.
And if you change phones altogether, you can call Tracfone to transfer minutes from the old to new phone once every year or so.
I am using the tmobile pay as you go....it has been great so far...i bought the 1000 minute card and phone a couple months back...after you buy your first 1000 mins, you get 15% additional mins....so next time i buy i will get 1150 for $100...tmobile has great signal here in vegas too
I heard, if you live in a small town, T-mobile is not the best choice. Big city, around highway, T-mobile is decent.
