Jan. 20th, 2008 01:22 pmSince I'm sure that everyone cares deeply about prepaid mobile phone plans, I am posting one more time.
If you do talk moderately and thus try to optimize for minutes-per-dollar then for the price of a 450-minute standard (not prepaid) Verizon plan you can get about 400-500 minutes of tracfone time per month (taxes make it hard to get an exact value - tracfone doesn't have any visible ones for now, whereas Verizon tacks them on).
So the perk is that your talk time is effectively prorated. The big downside is of course that you don't get nights and weekends, or within-network minutes. It might be an unintended side effect that tracfone is thus a decent plan for occasional business consultants who are willing to give up expensive "insurance" against a high-volume month. Supposedly you can also call many international landlines for no extra charge.
This is all I will post concerning this topic.
