Net10 LG Optimus Q Android Now Free Overnight Shipping

CM — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 02:42:33 +0000

Net10 did something very cool when they released two prepaid Android phones to be used with their Net10 prepaid plans. I really like the new trend of having Android prepaid phones. It makes sense because these phones tend to be midlevel phones as opposed to the bargain basement standard prepaid phone scenario. They are Android, which means you get to download apps from the Android Marketplace, which can be really fun although time-consuming if you’re not careful. You can have a lot of fun with these phones.

One of the coolest things about the new Net10 Android LG Optimus Q and the Optimus Net is that you can now get them with free overnight shipping. You don’t have to pay shipping charges which saves you $20 or more. The Optimus Q is the better of the two phones in my opinion–but that’s just me. Read more about these Net10 Android phones here.

Here is the Net10 LG Optimus Net

Net10 has some of the best prepaid plans to choose from. If you are a big talker/texter, you can get the unlimited talk, text, web plan and not have to worry about going over your minutes and text message limits, since there will be none.

Right now is a good time to be shopping for a Net10 phone because there are quite a few good offers going on. In fact, you can get yourself a free phone. There are three free phones available with your purchase of a $25 refill minutes card (750 minutes). See all the current free phone at Net10.com

Awesome AT&T Prepaid Phone Deal: Pantech Crossover Android

CM — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:10:59 +0000

AT&T has potentially the best prepaid phone deal of the week for its Pantech Crossover Android phone. The Crossover is a qwerty slider phone that runs on AT&T’s prepaid phone plans. The phone is available on Amazon.com–see the listing at Amazon–for only $119 marked down from its former price of $199. You also get free shipping from Amazon with this phone.

The real kicker to this deal (and the reason it’s the deal of the week for Veritable Plethora) is that you get a free $25 airtime credit. You save $115 total, which is pretty darn great.

Get the Pantech Crossover at Amazon:

3G-enabled, Android-powered smartphone with 3.1-inch touchscreen and slide-out full QWERTY keyboard
Pay for just the minutes you use with no annual contract–easy refill via Internet or prepaid cards

Best Text Messaging Prepaid Phones

CM — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 07:07:29 +0000

If you own a prepaid phone, chances are you like to send text messages. They are affordable, they make sense, and they get right to the point. A recent article at Prepaid Reviews singles out a few of the top prepaid phones for text messaging.

The top phones are as follows (click through to the article for more details on each phone):

AT&T GoPhone Pantech Link II – Buy this phone

Boost Mobile Motorola i475 – Buy this phone

Consumer Cellular Nokia C3 – Buy this phone

Cricket Samsung Comment – Buy this phone

Kajeet LG Rumor 2 – Buy this phone

MetroPCS Huawei Pinnacle – Buy this phone

Straight Talk Nokia E5 – Buy this phone

There are other very good text messaging prepaid phones too that are not covered here. One thing you want to consider when you’re searching a good text messaging phone is what kind of plan it works on. If you are paying for each and every text and you text a lot, you might want to consider an unlimited plan that has a flat monthly fee.

This may save you some money throughout the month. Do some simple math and see what you are spending each month on your text messages and then figure out how much you might be saving if you did not have to pay 5 cents or 7 cents per text message sent. You may be able to save with an unlimited plan even if you don’t generally use web browsing or make a lot of calls.

There are so many great pay as you go plans out there that there is truly something for everybody. And most providers have some hot new Androids to go with their plans. Think Straight Talk, MetroPCS, Virgin, and Boost. There are some definite choices out there so don’t settle.

Will Prepaid SmartPhones Catch Up to PostPaid?

CM — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:12:49 +0000

There is a lot of debate out there about whether or not prepaid smartphones will catch up to postpaid smartphones. It is clear that postpaid smart phones are going to be the front runners for a while since they are subsidized by companies who charge lower rates for expensive phones because they lock customers into long term (usually 2 year) contracts, guaranteeing long term payments.

Still, prepaid smartphone offerings are making great strides, and you have to wonder how long prepaid will be in postpaid’s smart phone wake. It stands to reason that as soon as people realize how much money they can save on service payments, they will stop being fooled into paying half of the price of an expensive phone that locks them into a contract, and they will decide that paying full price is not that bad when you look at the real numbers.

Read more in Taylor Martin’s article at PhoneDog. It’s a good read about the prepaid vs postpaid environment.

New WalMart Prepaid Phone: AT&T Fusion GoPhone

CM — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:00:37 +0000

Pantech Crossover Prepaid Android GoPhone (AT&T) with $25 Airtime Credit

One of the best prepaid phone deals going on right now is for the AT&T Pantech Crossover Android QWERTY slider phone for only $119 PLUS a free $25 airtime card. Phone is usually $199, so you save not only $80 on the phone but $25 for airtime credit, which totals $115 saved for a very nice AT&T Android phone. Learn more details here.

There’s a new AT&T phone just released at WalMart. It’s the AT&T Fusion U8652. This isn’t the most ground breaking phone to ever be released, but it’s on the AT&T GoPhone plan and I haven’t heard too much news about this plan in a while, so I figured I would drop this tidbit on people who still look for new GoPhone releases.

The Fusion costs about $109 in a WalMart location near you. Read more about this phone here.

Prepaid Phones On Sale in October

CM — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:00:47 +0000

Prepaid phone deals for January 2012 – Update!

There are a bunch of really good prepaid phones on sale for January of 2012. What a great way to start the year. The big winner is the Virgin Mobile LG Optimus Slider phone that is marked down to about $162 on Amazon.com from $199. That’s a significant savings for this hot Virgin Mobile phone and is a great way to start saving in the new year.

Prepaid Phone News has a good list that they update every week of the current prepaid phones on sale. Each week, they have a new post with some good prepaid deals they find. It’s got to be the longest list I see anywhere and must take a good deal of time to prepare. You can find some good prepaid phone deals from Target, Radio Shack, Best Buy, and Amazon.

These guys obviously take a lot of time compiling this list, so if you are going to buy a phone support them and click through on their list to the phone you want. Below, I took the liberty of listing some of the highlights I found from the list, as well as a few deals I have heard about that are going on right now.

Virgin Mobile Deals

One deal that sticks out is for the Virgin Mobile Motorola Triumph at a price of $259, which is a savings of $40. This phone is available at this price at Amazon. The Virgin LG Optimus V is also available for $112 marked down from $149. In another piece of news, Virgin should be releasing the LG Optimus slider today at a no-contact price of $200. See more at the official site.

VirginMobile.com

Net10 Deals

You may have heard that the first Net10 Android phones were released this week and are available for pre-order on the official Net10 website, Net10.com. There are some other good phone deals from this company right now, like the LG 800G, which is available for $39.99.

Net10.com

Straight Talk Deals

Straight Talk also recently released its second Android phone, the LG Optimus Q. See it at the official website (you can find the link below). There are also two good deals going on right now. The Nokia E71 and 6790 (reconditioned models) are being sold for only $99 on the website. There are also two free Straight Talk phones being offered right now, so if you really want to save some money, that could be a way to go, but you just won’t be getting the better Straight Talk smart phones. See all current deals at the official site.

StraightTalk.com

Boost Mobile Deals

The list at Prepaid Phone News highlights Boost Mobile’s Samsung Galaxy Prevail Android phone as the deal of the week. This phone is available on Amazon for $137.99 with free shipping. Normally, this phone is priced at $179.99.

Verizon Deals

Verizon has a couple of prepaid deals going on right now. At Radio Shack, you can get the ZTE Salute for about $30 (a savings of $10) and the Samsung Intensity II for about $80 (saving $20). Learn more details at the list cited above and at the official Verizon site. There is a good list of free contract Verizon phones at the site right now. Target has the LG Accolade flip phone for only about $23. Amazon has the Palm Pixi Plus for only about $36 but it is to be used with Page Plus.
