cell phone plans

The mobile phone (also called a wireless phone or cellular phone)[1] is a short-range, portable electronic device used for mobile voice or data communication over a network of specialized base stations known as cell sites. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone, current mobile phones may support many additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, gaming, bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video. Most current mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base stations (cell sites), which is in turn interconnected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) (the exception is satellite phones).....

100% Q: What are some good low cost cell phone plans?

"Basic plans will have 400minutes anytime and unlimited night and weekends for less than $30". Is that true, somebody else said it and I am quoting them. Where is there a basic plan for around $30/mo? I found a cell phone plan for $28/mo but I think the coverage is only in my city, I don't like the sound of that.

A:29.99 plans generally have NO minutes to use. I think they ususlly have 100 minutes or something like that. only if you rarely use a phone or have one simply to use in case of emergency do you get those plans. I have spring fair and flexble for 39.99/month. 400 minutes, nights/weekends free and bights start at 7pm, whereas everyone else starts at 9pm. if you manage to go over your minutes for the month, sprint adds an additional 50 minutes for 5 bucks to save you from overage fees. really nice plan. cingular with their rollover plan is okay too, but I say go with sprint. tmobile has a monthly plan of 39.99 for 1000minutes a month. I believe that is only for local area only though. my sprint plan is nationwide.

100% Q: Are there any good cell phone plans for people needing to call overseas a lot?

I'm looking into getting rid of my land line, because the only reason I have it is to call my Mom who lives in England. Are there any good cell phone plans someone could recommend that have good/ decent long distance available? thanks!

A:There is no good plan for any US carrier to call oversea. They are usually charged at the double rate (per minute charge plus your mintues if you are calling at day time). With Verizon to call England per minutes charges are 40 cents or something crazy like that. If you want to get rid of your landline try using the phonecard at the free minutes time. Atleast that way you won't burn your daytime mintues and get the best phone card rates.

100% Q: Help on the best prepaid cell phone and plans?

What company has the best prepaid cell phone and plans, I am looking for very little usage (minutes-maybe 2 hours a month), text messaging and maybe being able to download my ring tones. I have had the normal cell phone plan but as soon as you change one thing on your plan they just keep extending the contract..No thank you.

A:I just got back from the mall and was looking for the same thing, alot of these places are rip offs. I went to t mobile they had plans no contract, no credit check no cancellation fees. One was 29.99 with 300 minutes and free weekends or 39.99 for 600 minutes with free nights AND weekends. And I got a nice flip phone that had all the features. Definitely go there.

100% Q: Which companies offer cell phone plans with free calls between 2 lines in Florida? Possibly prepaid?

I am looking for a good and affordable cell phone plan that my husband and I can use in which we can call each other for free (taking no minutes). We live in central Florida. It's just basically for us to communicate. We don't call anybody else in cell phones, so we don't need many minutes to call other people from the cell phone plan.

A:I think all cell phone companies have family plans that have unlimited minutes for family members any time of day. I have t-mobile and me and my wife and my son have 900 minutes to share (peak) and unlimited calls between the 3 of us and free nights (after 9pm) and weekends for $69 plus $10 (to add the 3rd phone) I think you for you it would be $59 for 500 minutes peak (I think) and unlimited calls between you and your hubby. (and I think that included the phones for free with a one year contract.. Cingular does 2 years)
