Prepaid cellular calling is growing into a big business. The days of when you’d have to pay an inflated per minute rate on prepaid are long gone. Sure they charge you a little more but you can get a full cellular phone for under $50, load it with prepaid minutes and be able to talk within minutes. There’s no annoying contract, no annoying phone salesman, no rejected rebates, if the phone breaks you buy another cheap prepaid phone and swap your SIM. Some of the carriers (T-Mobile for one) allow you to keep your minutes for a full year so long as you buy them in $100 increments. Through February 7, 2008 Target stores have a sale on $50 prepaid cards from all the major carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and Boost). Pay $ 45 and you’ll receive a $ 50 card. If you’re a heavy talker and texter – check out the new Boost plan for $50/mo (now only $44). I picked up a Boost Mobile phone for $29 (i425), bought a $44 Boost card and activated the phone on an unlimited plan. Watch for a full review later this month once I’ve had a chance to see how the Boost coverage works in my area.
