Big mistake. For me, prepaid rules. I did a bit of research and discovered NET10 was the best for my purposes. I don’t use a lot of minutes — maybe 200 or so a month — and I’m not a mad texter or websurfer either, but 10¢ a minute for calls and 3¢ for texts is crazy good. And no fees per day or other bs. I got a very nice Samsung phone with a slide-out qwerty keyboard and no one knows it’s prepaid. Costs me a big $30 a month for all my stuff. Oy!

If I had patience, I would have waited at least 6 months,

The first 3 months cost me a bundle nearly a $1000 dollars

I also think you have a unique spin going on in the right-hand column of this blog in stating your income each month. <br/><br/>You should def. place a few ads on your site. your site is about bringing in the cashflow right!? as long as they don't over crowd things you'll be good. Neville,

I did what a previous poster suggested, threw my cell phone in a nearby lake. I HATE Sprint, and getting a monthly bill for a telelphone just makes me sick. I haven't gone back to the pay-phone, (yet) but I did purchase the Vonage USB "phone on the go" stick, and now I can call from my laptop. If anyone needs to get a hold of me when I'm away, they can leave a msg.<br/><br/>It's like I got out of jail when I ditched cellular service. FREEDOM! Nev,
