A few of the top prepaid phone players out there are TracFone, Straight Talk, and Virgin Mobile. Virgin Mobile recently released the very well received Motorola Triumph Android phone, which critics have praised a ton since it came out. Another big piece of news in the prepaid world is the release of Straight Talk’s first Android handset, the Samsung Precedent. This phone is not only an Android phone that downloads apps and does all the things contract android phones do, it also comes with the Unlimited Straight Talk plan (only $45/month for unlimited text, talk, and web).

Virgin’s latest Android release, the Triumph is a very nice phone. Some are calling it the best prepaid phone out right now. I don’t know if this is true, but it does have some great attributes, like its beautiful screen and clear connection ability. If you’re interested in the Motorola Triumph ($299 without a contract) have a look at it at the official website for Virgin.

Prepaid cell phones have truly never been more popular than they are today. Spurred on by a weak economy with a lot of penny-pinchers, companies have had to do more to compete for business.
One way wireless companies have started to compete is by offering more affordable plans–plans without the lucrative 2-year mandatory contract. This is the only reason companies have contracts: profits. It allows cell phone carriers to spend more to get customers (ie with advertising, etc) when they know they will have them tied up for two years.
With prepaid phones, the company better offer good service or else a customer can easily move right on to the next one with no fear or a termination fee or anything like that. Prepaid phones have no contracts and for that reason they allow for more flexibility. Furthermore, in general, you pay for the minutes you use.
Services like TracFone give you a lot of leeway over the minutes you purchase and use. Straight Talk has two plans that are very attractive. Net10 has some of the cheapest deals in the business. And MetroPCS is moving on up.
There are a lot of prepaid deals out there, so keep your eyes open and find a good one. Read a few of the articles on this site about prepaid phones–there are a lot of them and they should help give you a better handle on the top dogs and what they have to offer.
Good luck.

Tracfone have a double minutes for life plan which means that every time you buy airtime you get double the minutes that you paid for. They also have a smartphone…the first in the prepaid business which is a really outstanding Samsung Finesse with every feature you could wish for!
As the article says, NET10 really has one of the best deals in the business and in terms of bang for the buck, you really can’t do any better. After research, I couldn’t find a better deal than .10 a minute and $20 a month and it works prefectly since I’m really more of a moderate cell user so the frills of SmartPhones really do nothing for me. NET10 has great value if you are person who needs their phone for basic communication and not much more .
I agree 100% with Kimberly. I am saving so much money with Net10. I used to be a little scared to use a prepaid cell phone, but trust me, it is the best experience! You are in control of your own bills. It’s so stress-free!
