Was reading paper during lunch...flyer falls out...go to throw away...when I notice an ad for a pre-paid cellular...hop in car...drive to Viaero...hand lady 40 bucks some odd change...walk out with Motorola and 35 bucks cellular credit on phone...free nights and weekends...which is all I plan on using unless emergency...there is a cost of 50 cents a day...works out to around $15 dollars a month...Sweet!...phone does all calculating and lets me know how much credit I have...rates as low as 10 cents per minute...best of all no monthly bill!...if I run out of credits all I have to do is go online and add more with debit card...Anybody here use prepaid cellular?

T-Mobile, 10 cents a minute and no daily charge but no free nights and weekends.
seems like a great deal. Were I to lose my cellular phone due to loss/breakage (I don't do insurance) This would be an excellent option. The one big issue for me though is that you probably have zero free roaming.
I looked at ViAERO web site, its got free roaming but at least 50% of your calls must be made in the home calling area.

That's not bad, but tracfone is cheaper. You can get a phone & 800min/1yr of talk time shipped to your door for ~$140. I usually wait until they have a $99 deal for a phone + 1yr of talk time. IMO, prepaid is the only way to go for an occasional use cell phone. If it's a phone you need constantly, don't do prepaid.

Virgin Mobile here. Not cheap at 18-cents/minute, but for the amount I use the phone it's fine. I have to add at least $20 every 3 months to keep the account active, but I have yet to ever run out of time.
Tracfone does have its merits...but the only reason I went with Viaero is free nights and weekends...so I will be paying 15 bucks a month for this phone!...there are lots of great deals on prepaid phones...just have to find one you like best and suits you most...
