Tracfone - Prepaid Cell Phone - good deal

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Actually I think Verizon's and Cingular's prepaid program might be a little
better. Cingular works great for those that are really using the phone
sparingly and with a minimum card refill of $20/3 months, it's very cheap.

Verizon's new prepaid with the 25 cents access + 10 cents/min along with $30
minimum every 2 months is also a sweet deal.

I like your chart, almost too much info to take in at once.

I travel around a lot and the differences in roaming become very imporant.
The tracfone cost here is more resonable but Verizon and T-mobile policy of
free on network gives the best value.

I think Cingular KIC does charge roaming on their network outside your
local aera.

If you don't care where your local number is tracfone can be customized for
the best local coverage, for example a number in Amory MS (662) gives
better coverage than Birmingham AL (205) both Cingular TDMA.

.... as one who uses both a Tracfone & a Cingular K I C prepaid I know from
experience that activating a Cingular prepaid phone over the phone is a real
hassle - the phone staff I dealt with were lost doing a prepaid account.
That alone will keep me from getting another one.
