| I am a cheapist, but I love my two prepaid phones.
The first one is the one I actually use to make phone calls. No smarts and no intarwebz. I did a review of it on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FJ1XWA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top. It is built like a tank and has never failed me.
The second one is my Virgin Mobile Marbl. I leave it in the car at night. It has a super slow WAP internet connection that is adequate for Yahoo! mail and messaging and funny when you try to view Flickr with it. I call it my postage stamp. If I ever do decide to actually use it for a phone, the variable volume control is sweet.
I love them both, although I had to do a bit of training to figure out what m.yahoo.com actually is good for, and what I should skip.
Neither one cost more than 20 bux up front. |
