Hey Hard,
Just wondering about pre-paid cell phone companies. In the store the other day i noticed that there is some is some great deals (or so it seems) on some prepaid plans.
For example, Netzero offers unlimited everything (including 3G data) for $50 a month.
looking online MetroPCS offers unlimited everything (including 4GLTE) for $55 a month.
other prepaid have similar plans.
So whats the catch? these deals sound great, and since these companies are rather small (compared the Big 4, Verizon, ATT, Sprint, Tmobile) i assume they use their towers. Is the service shitty or what?
Can you use your own phone with them? Assuming you have the same type (e.x. already own a CDMA phone and going to a prepaid CDMA company).
my contract is up in March, just looking into it..
Thanks in advance!
