The 5 – Mobile Phones That Don’t Look Prepaid

The prepaid wireless market is hot so hot that Sprint decided it wasnt enough to just lease its wireless network to Virgin Mobile, it went ahead and bought the entire company. Prepaid offers some advantages over contract plans, most notably in the fact that you dont have a contract. Youre free to come and go as you please and can better budget your spending. While prepaid phones have come a long way in form and function, theyre generally not the slickest handsets out there.

    This video is dated because Straight Talk Wireless offers Unlimited Talk, Text, and Data, plus they offer the Finess online. Their unlimited plan is $45/mo, and uses Verizon’s network.

    @electricalbannanas You have to buy one of their phones. If you are looking for a physical keyboard – their top is the Samsung r451 with a slider. If you are into touch screens, you likely want the finess, (works better than the iPhone). I just wanted an affordable cell phone to TALK, so I just bought the LG 220c, and it’s a great performing phone for talking.

    @DJstearl get the Blackberry, they are both $250 and the BB is 20x the phone. The web on the BB is fast & on the i9 is a joke. Blackberry runs on Sprint’s CDMA network while the i9 is on Nextel’s iDEN network The only thing the BB does not have in the PTT, The Blackberry is the way to go..
