Really I'm amaze at all this tips, it's great tho that so many people realized that the best way to cut your cellphone bill is to move to a pre paid service. I went for straight talk because Im a texting junly and they have an unlimited plan for only 45 amonth, now I can text all I want on my brand new cool neat smartphone, and it's so smart it even plays my music, updates my facebook status and surfs the web...yeah

Since this article first appeared, Net10 has added some really great plans. You can go with the Unlimited for $50 and you get unlimited talk, text, email, mobile web, and free 411 calls. They also have 750 minutes for $25 and 200 minutes for $15. With their flexibility, you can pick one of these three and switch through them on a monthly basis to fit your needs and circumstances. This really helps keep your bill as low as possible. And, on Black Friday, Best Buy will offer the Samsung T401G for $39.99, which is 50% off regular price. This is a great deal and will make the perfect gift for someone special in your life.

Great tips! It's funny how people forget about these simple points that really can help you save loads every month - I was guilty myself. I actually looked over my cell phone bill for months before I realized that I had both the wrong plan as well as the wrong carrier – AT&T was only interested in keeping my stuck in my contract. I finally gave in and broke my contract and started shopping around for a phone that suited someone who wasn’t a big talker, but needed something dependable. I decided on Net10 prepaid and its been a dream so far. Without a contract, I have the flexibilty to change phones and plans based on use and price and not be locked in. The calling network is pretty dependable and while the selection of phones isn’t the best, it is better priced than any I’ve found. The best thing about Net10 though is the incredible savings – more than $70 a month over my $110. Not to mention 300 minutes at activation and being able to purchase Net10 at Walmart or Target so its so easy to find.

Prepaid, particularly, Net10 is a consumer's money-saving dream!

Great article!

I've been looking for ways to economize and when my cell contract was up, I got a Net10 phone. I pay 10¢ a minute and 3¢ for texts. It's a terrific value and there's no contract or overages.

Check it out! You can get 'em online at net10.com or at Target, Walmart, Best Buy etc.

I just recently took control over my cell phone bill and switch over to a prepaid. It's called Net10 and they charge 10 cents a minute. I was paying out of the nose for fees, texts, data, and other random things that were on my bill month after month. I was sick and tired of the contract and now I have full control over what I pay every month. Keep informing the public on their options to help them take control of their own lives. Thanks!
