No Contract Cell Phones

Raavak · #1 05-12-2014, 10:24 AM

Does anyone have any experience with companies like Zact or Ting? I guess the concept is you buy your phone up front and then just pay monthly for what you use and can end up paying much less over the course of time than you would with a contract through AT&T, Verizon, etc. The idea is that with the $1 phones you buy you actually pay for it throughout the course of your 2-year contract, and thensome.

Other than Joe Rogean and other people basically paid to advertise them I haven't heard from "real" people regarding these. Anyone with any experience have feedback?

I signed up with T-mobile which has an unlimited 4g option and no contract.

I use pageplus which has been great since I removed myself from all batphones. Costs me like $2 a month since I use gmail for most communication with people. The network is great.

Straight Talk with Wal-Mart is fucking boss. Cheap as shit for unlimited minutes, texts, and data. Even though there is a soft-cap for the high speed internet at 4 gigs, still hasn't let me down. I was with T-Mobile.

Straight Talk I was also looking into. I also think Zact may be floundering; they went from offering 2 phones to offering 1 crappy phone, though you can bring your own Sprint compatible phone I think.

Have a windows 8 phone through at&t that is paid for by the month, Win8 seems a lot more practical on mobile devices I've noticed.

that's what it was designed for, and not a mouse using interface or someone used to that for the full computer

I have a no contract phone through Virgin Mobile. It's ok, way cheaper than AT&T or Verizon. I kind of live out in the sticks though, so I don't get a lot of bars. Drops calls sometimes when driving on the back-roads. Better than a huge bill.

People don't have iPhones with a major network? Where do you all come from?
