I have an old throw away cell phone. I want to buy a new one with out a contract. Does anyone have any recommendations??? Thanks guys buy a phone as cheap as you can... then you can have it jail broken to match the service you want... i jail broke my iPhone 4 from Verizon, costing me 110 dollars a month, to cricket for 45 dollars a month.. everything works the exact same... |

I have service through Boost - it runs off the Sprint network. I don't have any problems with them. In my area right now they are running a special $35 unlimited everything (but I think it's only for 6 months, then it will probably go back up to $55, but will decrease with certain number of on-time payments).

Hey Moe, I read somewhere (and maybe tis exactly what YOU are talking about) that one can take one of those cheap, no contract phones and pull out something, replace it with a new something, and it works just fine...is this so? (I did not know what the thingy was so it made no impression on me, like what it was..) |

Cricket sucks here.
So far, ATT gives me the best service. I screwed up getting a go phone with windows. The SIM Cards are smaller now also. |

If that phone uses a Sim card, you can unlock it online relatively cheaply, then use whatever service you want. Most carriers these days have good plans, depending where you live. A lot depends on what you want it for; talk and text only, or with data included. Unlimited talk and text runs $30 per month, depending on carrier. $40 and up if you want data. For occasional uses, pay per use plans might work better than monthly. Boost, Verizon, T-Mobile, Metro PCS and Straight Talk.

I have Boost as well..... my service plan is $40 a month started out as $55 every six months they drop it $5 not sure if mine will drop any lower.... But I have unlimited everything and does not matter how much internet I use.... I did pay outright for the phone I have now cost me $200.... They text me every month to remind me to pay which I do over the phone... Only issue I have is picking up reception in certain buildings... |

I get unlimited internet, unlimited calls to UK No.s and unlimited texts for �30 ( $45 ) a month on the 3 network. Any trouble with a phone and I give it to my mates brother, as he used to work for Samsung. Handy guy to know!
