pay per minute cell phones

[sniperruff]

i want to get a cell phone but i won't use it that often.

can anyone recommend a cheap nice pay-per-minute plan?

and how is the reception compared to regular month plans?

thanks

They have plans as low as $19.99/mo for 60 minutes ... unless you have REALLY SH!TTY credit I would get a regular plan.

Which cell phone provider has the best coverage in your area? Ask your friends, family and co-workers who they use and if they are happy.

Prepaid cell phone reception is the same as pay as you go it depends mostly on:
1) Your cell phone.
2) Your cell phone provider.

Should be no difference in reception as the phone you choose will determine that more than anything else.

I recommend Virgin Mobile USA, as they are the best plans but they don't have the best coverage.
My second would be Verizon Wireless Free Up, as Verizon is king in coverage.

I'd recommend just getting a cheap regular plan with not a whole bunch of minutes, I mean, the pay-by-minutes can get pretty expensive....some of them charge like a dollar a minute.....I wouldn't recommend it

What do you guys with pay per minute phones pay per minute? I pay $.35/min which really seems expensive to me but I try to keep my cell phone usage down to a min. cause of that and I don't blab unneccessarily on it. I put $20 on it each time which is about an hour of talk time. If I dont have much money it's nice that I can just leave it at $0 (for up to like 60 days when there is a service fee to reactivate).
