Prepaid Cell Phone Deals

Activation Fees for Verizon Prepaid.

You will pay up to a $25 activation fee when you initialize your Prepaid Verizon Wireless cellphone. I initialized my Verizon Prepaid phone at a Verizon store and bought a $30 card at the same time. The individual that helped me did not charge me the fee. I spent $79.95 on the cellphone.

Verizon Wireless provides one of the biggest and most reliable cellular networks in the nation. Verizon Wireless also offers prepay Wireless services. Here is the Logo that we all connect with “Can you Hear Me Now.”

The Verizon Prepaid Basic Plan with 25 cents per minute with no daily access fee. The Verizon Basic plan is not a good value when you compare to other prepay plans.
Net10.com for 10 cents a minute or Tracfone.com. from 6.6 cents up to 33 cents a minute are much better available alternatives.

The Verizon Core Plan charges 99 cents per day access and calls are 10 cents per minute. Unlimited calls to other Verizon Wireless cell phones are free. I made use of theVerizon Core plan for several months, if your main phone calls are with Verizon Wireless users this can be a good deal.

The Plus Plan is $1.99 per day access and charges 5 cents per minute. In essence this will be the same as the Core plan with Unlimited Nites and Weekends added and you will only pay 5 cents per text to receive and send.

The Verizon Prepaid Unlimited Talk Plan offers Unlimited minutes and one-cent text messages for $3.99 per day.

So Should you Quit your Cell Phone Contract?

If your contract is over $45 a month and you can get out of it without paying a large end of contract charge then the answer is yes.   If you are not a heavy user of a phone and the $30 a month plan will work for you then you should also change to Straight Talk.  The $30 “All You Need” plan is a way better deal than most contracts that start you out with 400 monthly minutes and at least a $40 a month charge after taxes.

For most people one of the Straight Talk monthly plans will be the best value Cell Phone service available.
