Andrew, I have been a T-Mobile To Go user for two years, and I have been very happy with them in every way. Many people seem to criticize T-Mobile saying they don't get good reception. I don't agree - at least where I live, there are no dropped calls. I always get good signals. If you live in a reassonably populated area, I suspect you'll do just as well.
The T-Mobile website had a good deal a while back. You got a phone and 160 minutes good for six months for $4.99 TOTAL (with rebate). They run this same deal every now and then, so if you can wait it out, you might try that. If you buy a phone on your own, and need to add minutes later, Target sells refills sometimes at a big discount, or you can get good deals at cheapphonecards.com, or on ebay. MARY -- I love T-Mobile Prepaid! If you use less than 200 minutes per month (about one 6-minute call per day), a prepaid plan is probably your best choice. If you use more than 400 minutes per month (about 13-min a day), a monthly plan makes more sense. http://www.consumersearch.com/www/electronics/prepaid- wireless/review.html --- In [email protected], Andrew Buc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This after talking to a sales rep at a T-Mobile kiosk in Seattle today: > > Are you happy with T-Mobile overall--coverage, signal strength, > customer service, all that good stuff? > > I definitely want a pay-as-you-go plan (I normally use no more than > 20 cellular minutes/month).
