Pay As You Go

Which of the pay as you go plans is the best one? I know there is more than one option but I'm not sure of the requirements on any of them. Thinking of getting one for my little sister for her birthday. Is TrackPhone (sp?) any good or should I get something like GO phone?

What country is this in?

I think that the o2 internet 300 one is probably one of the best in the UK (combined with boltons like 50 mins for £8)

I'm in the United States. I don't believe I've ever heard of the ones you mentioned, so I assume we don't have those here.

Here in Canada, we have the pay as you go plans, but I know the phones you have to pay full price, and they always seem to be the most expensive phones. I can't justify paying $200+ for a cell phone. So I have always opted for just regular phone with a 3 year contract.

Go For T-Mobile. good phones and a good pay as you go plan. I have one and its not bad. Plus if you put spent 100 dollars on the phone for re fill mins you get 15% more mins every refill. not bad eh

I think tracfone is the cheapest, if you're looking for that. But TMobile probably does have the better phone. Considering its her first phone, maybe you'll want to start with the most inexpensive one you can find and see how she does with it before investing in something a little better.

In my opinion tracfone has terrible service! I bought one for my inlaws so they could have something in case of emergencies and they are always hitting "no signal" zones where they shouldn't be!

I like Virgin Mobile. I think the rates are pretty good for what I need it for and I haven't had any trouble with the service. The phones are a bit expensive though.

What country? What provider? What choices?

A friend of mine uses T-Mobile in the United States and she seems happy with the price. She's a huge bargain-getter too, so she won't get anything too expensive.

I know that Virigin Mobile offers a whole range of pay as you go plans, though they can be confusing to figure out at first.
