I usually leave the cell phone plans and services to the hubbs to figure out.....as long as I have my Blackberry in my hand, I am a happy camper. But with the budget still so tight around here, I have given our phone services and costs more attention.
The one thing we have thought about lately is switching at some point to a plan where you pay as you go. One service plan that I have read about recently is Boost Mobile. Available nationwide with competitive rates and plans, they are available through many major retailers. I will say there are some points about their services I like. For example, there are no contracts! They also offer the "must have" features like texting, web, talk and email. There is no activation fee or roaming charges, and no long distance charges.
I also like the fact that you can pay online (very important to me) as well as in person or by phone, and this makes it easy to Re-Boost as well. You can also have the option to set up automatic payments (see-lots of options--always a good thing!) And let me not forget to add the phone selection offered. You can choose from the very simple to the wonderful Blackberry, which makes updating and connecting with social media sites easy-peasy.
