Are you better off signing a contract?

Well that is a question that only you can answer, while the pricing may know if you will be using the phone on a regular daily basis.

Answer the following-
Will you be calling mainly friends and family?
Do you need your cell phone for work?
Do you make international calls?

Using the above information now consider your budget. The best prepaid phone is usually the one that fits your budget. I have a Tracfone that I seldom use I seldom use that I leave in a car I seldom use. Every three months I purchase 60 minutes airtime for twenty dollars. That’s $6.66 a month. The minutes rollover as long as I purchase 60 minutes or more every at least every three months.

I also have an AT&T no contract, no credit check with unlimited talk and text and it cost $60.00 a month. I use this phone everyday and all day.
