Thank-you, for weighing in folks. I am in a "tricky" area-- way, way, way, Northern New England. My dd has a TMobile phone {provided by her father, who lives out of state} provides, extremely, spotty service where I live.
I have found while driving near the Canadian boarder, Straightalk will show zero "bars", while the Net10 phone will work just fine. I have lived 1/4 of a mile from the boarder and the only one that would work was Tracfone. For some reason Family Dollar sells Verizon pay as you go phones and I don't know if those work up here, I have not owned one or know anyone who owns one.
Cricket will work on any ATT phone and is $25 inclusive of tax for unlimited talk and text- you can bring your own phone to purchase any ATT basic phone to work for them
If you're married to Verizon and ddef not using data also check out Total wirless- its a new prepaid for verizon- same price 25 a month unlimited talk text.
I will check and see how Cricket works up here. Thanks for the info.
its not like tracfone has its own network. its all running on either Verizon, at&t, T-Mobile or sprint's networks. so all those companies you listed that work, you should be able to use the big company or another prepaid provider using their network.
We've used tracfone for years and have no complaints. We usually buy minutes every 3 months for about $20. We have basic phones, nothing "smart" about them.
Due to my employment, home health aide etc. a cell phone is an essential. What is the best prepaid cell phone deal in your opinion?
I, currently, use a Net10 phone, but my units do not rollover! Is the case with all prepaid cell phones?
Have you tried H2O wireless pay as you go plans - it runs on AT&T gives you 20 minutes for $1 and for $100 you have 2000mins for 1 year and 10c/MB data. Remaining minutes roll over if you pay before 1 year is over i.e. pay on the last day e.g..
I use have a cheapo Tmobile prepaid..........if you buy 100 dollars worth of time, the cost is less than 10 cents a minute for a phone-call.
I don't have a smartphone....so I do not know the cost of internet access.
