Just A Cell Phone-Net10 Pre Paid

by bigphone on February 7, 2010

Are you still one of the hold outs of the smart phone craze? Let’s face it. Everyone doesn’t need a smart phone. There are people who only need a cell phone to make calls. After all a cell phone is a good thing to have if you are traveling and have an emergency. If you need to be able to be reached at all times for business that does not require that you have access to email and internet. Yes these circumstances still exist. Or do you just need a way to keep up with your teenager or young adult? At any rate you just need a phone.

Well there are certainly several to choose from including phones with monthly cellular plans and pay as you go pre-paid plans. There are many pre paid plans to choose from. One I like in particular, because I don’t make that many calls, is the net10 pre paid plan. Net10 has several phone models to choose from. The one I am holding in my hand above is the Net10-300G made by LG.

The phone feature beautiful clear calling, voice mail, text messaging, phone book, records recent call, has audio and ring tones, games, calculator and much more. At a cost of only $29.99 in the store you can’t beat the price. It comes out of the box with 300 free minutes and 60 days of service to get you started. The cost of airtime at Net10 is always .10cents per minute nation wide on any call. Text messages are .5 cents sending and receiving.

You can purchase airtime in the store or online. You can buy air time in increments of 200, 300, 450, 600, or even 1000 minutes. That’s $20, $30, $45, $60, or $100 depending on your need. The more minutes you buy the more service days you get. It is very easy to activate by phone or online. To activate by phone you need a phone other than the Net10 phone you are activating.

If you just need a phone with a simple pre-paid plan Net10 is a great choice. I have personally used Net10 for the past 5 years. I have never been to a place where I could not get a signal to make or receive a call. Also, anytime I have ever had a problem with the phone (not in anyway often), customer service has been extremely helpful, to the point of sending me a new phone if necessary, with no mention of warranties.

By Tony L Tate
