What are the pros/cons of each type of cell phone-one with a monthly charge or a pay-as-you-go one? I am totally clueless about the things, but I need one for my son. Thanks for any advice.

Re: Cell Phone w/monthly service VS Tracphone type
Lori,
I wrote an article about pro and cons about prepaid cell phones earlier in the year.
Prepaid cellular phones are becoming more popular and you may be wondering if you need one or if they may be a better choice for you. Here are some of the pros and cons of Prepaid Cellular Phones: <b>No Contracts or Monthly Bills</b>: Prepaid cellular phones do not require you to sign any contract nor pay any

Re: Cell Phone w/monthly service VS Tracphone type
In the US I use Virgin Mobile. It's the cheapest pay-as-you-go with quality service I could find. The more air time you use, the cheaper your rate gets. I've never had a dropped call or poor customer service.
USD $50 goes for three (3) months on my phone. I can't find another service that can top that.
Good luck!

Re: Cell Phone w/monthly service VS Tracphone type
This is the best “pay as you go” cellular deal I’ve come across:
STI Mobile PCS LG Flipphone – FREE AFTER REBATE
$89 – 12% Coupon = $78.32 – $79 Rebate = FREE
Minutes Never Expire –.10 Nights/Weekends & .12 Days
Utilizes SPRINT’s nationwide network.
To recharge you simply order $10, $25, $50 or $100 STI Mobile refill cards from www.cheapphonecards.com. You will receive them instantly via e-mail.
THREE IMPORTANT CONDITIONS:
* They are VERY strict about the rebate being postmarked within 14 days of purchase.
* You need to make or receive a call (could be less than one minute) at least once within every 60 days (something to keep in mind if used as an emergency phone).
* You cannot have zero minutes for more than 14 consecutive days or you will have to reactivate ($4.95) and MAY lose your phone number.
