I don't spend a lot of time talking on the phone. While monthly cellular phone plans start at around $30/month, I average under $10/month with my T-Mobile pre-paid phone. When purchasing minutes $100 at a time, the price is only 10 for each minute. You don't get the free nights and weekends like a lot of other plans or the free mobile-to-mobile calling or any of those other gimmicks. The advantage is that you only pay for the service that you use, no more and no less. Anyone who only makes a couple of short calls per day should seriously consider T-Mobile. It's the best deal out there.
