MetroPCS ZTE Essenze Prepaid Phone Review
MetroPCS recently release the ZTE Essenze cell phone for use with its prepaid deals. The phone is a basic and affordable cell phone--something that is very important to a lot of MetroPCS prepaid customers.
Part of the allure of prepaid plans is the savings you can get on your phone bills.
ZTE Essenze is a standard slider phone. Through the phone, users have easy access to MetroWeb, MetroPCS' proprietary web browser, and also email.
The phone has bluetooth and GPS for hands-free connectivity (and for finding your way when you're lost). Essenze is also equipped with a basic VGA camera for snapping shots on the go. The nifty (and cost-cutting) "walkie-talkie" feature is also available on this MetroPCS handset.
Essenze is being offered at $59, but the current $40 discount at the site brings the phone cost down to a mere $19.

Straight Talk Wireless Helps Verizon Get New Prepaid Customers
Straight Talk Wireless is an affordable brand of prepaid cell phone plan sold online and at Wal-Mart locations. It is also a joint venture between TracFone and Verizon Wireless.
Straight Talk's plans run on Verizon's nationwide network, which is perhaps the strongest in the country.
Verizon reported close to one million new sign-ups, many of whom are prepaid subscribers of the affordable Straight Talk plans.
Boost Mobile is another prepaid service provider backed by a strong nationwide network and also has an aggressive unlimited plan, much like the one from Straight Talk. Smaller regional providers like MetroPCS and Cricket risk losing business the larger companies with strong prepaid offerings.
It will be interesting to see what happens in prepaid as the year unfolds. Straight Talk looks to be one of the most competitive and affordable pay as you go companies out there.
Leading No-Contract Phone Plan Providers: Straight Talk, TracFone, and More
Over the past year or so a bunch of great cell phone plans have launched that have really changed the cell phone industry.
The biggest change we have seen is the gradual shift over to prepaid plans. Sure, prepaid phone plans have been around since we started using cell phones, but they have only become truly viable for the population at large in recent times.
A few years ago, prepaid phones were seen as "less than" or not as good as other plans. They were even seen as having something to do with illegal activity as characters on The Sopranos and other mafia movies would often speak on untraceable (since there is no contract) prepaid phones.
That has all changed. A weak economy with a lot of joblessness will jolt people out of their assumptions very quickly. The truth is that prepaid plans save people a lot of money.
Four of the top providers are TracFone, Straight Talk, MetroPCS, and Boost Mobile. Read a review of these wireless companies. Learn more about MetroPCS at MetroPCS.com.

Straight Talk’s Samsung Finesse Ups the Ante for Prepaid Provider
