The best prepaid cell phone is the one that will satisfy you in the end. I was spoiled while I lived in Italy for a few years where there is no such thing as a cell phone contract. Everything was pay as you go. So it really was just a matter of finding the best- prepaid cell phone company. The great thing about Italy and the rest of Europe though was the fact that it didnt matter which company or which model phone you used. All phones worked with any prepaid cell phone card.

Imagine my shock when I moved back to the U.S. in 2001 and began looking for the best-prepaid cell phone deal only to find that I was forced to get a cell phone contract. Well I ended up with Sprint and then T-Mobile before enough pay as you go plans became available. Of course the best plans ( in my opinion ) were not with any of the known cellular companies.

I now have what I think is the best prepaid cell phone plan on the market. I will only compare with one other company to show you why, though the deals are getting better. I have Net 10. Net 10 is a part of TracFone. They feature phones made by Motorola and Nokia. It is .10 per minute no matter what. So, for $30 I get 300 minutes. With that I also get 60 days of service. That is very simple and easy to deal with.

Compared to Cingular, one of the most popular companies offering prepaid cell phones I have a very sweet deal. Cingular has two plans; Best Value and Simple plan.

Best Value:
Unlimited mobile to mobile
.10 per minute
A charge of $1 every day you decide to use your phone (no matter who or where you call).

Simple Plan:
.25 per minute for all calls ( no dollar on the days you call).

With Cingular's best value prepaid cell phone plan you get charged a dollar every day you use your phone and it is automatically charged on you credit card or debit account. What if you use the phone for just one call a day? You can easily rack up another $30 in addition to the cost youve already paid for your prepaid airtime. The Simple plan just puts the squeeze on you for the cost of the minutes.

I have the best-prepaid cell phone plan. Net 10 baby! Almost every other cellular company like Cingular has hidden charges and additions to the cost of your airtime that cheat you out of your savings. Net 10 is simple and cost effective. You owe it to yourself to give it a try.

I have been writing just a few years. Most of my writing experience is from keeping a personal journal of my life in the past 6 years.

I became interested in online dating and relationships when my own marriage failed. Mostly relationships. I wanted to know why and if I could have avoided my own marriage falling apart. I have found that researching and writing have helped me not only to find some healing, but also has increased my understanding of relationships and love.

Online dating is fun and a great way to meet people. I have tried to list the best sites that I have come across on the web. I have also written articles based on some of my experience with relationships.
