This is an excellent choice for someone looking for pre-paid wireless.  Right now, the first 3 times you add minutes to your phone you get 100 free minutes.  Minutes are always 10 cents and you have no roaming or long distance.  Text messages are only 5 cents.  Net 10 phones are CDMA which means...

After almost endless scouring through different prepaid cell phone providers, I finally decided to go with NET10.  I purchased a kit that came with the phone (LG - LG300), Wall charger, Car charger, carrying case w/ belt clip, AND 300 FREE MINUTES & 60 days of service....all for about $30 at Wal-mart.  Once I run out of minutes I can purchase another 300 minutes for only $30.  That's 10 CENTS per minute.  I've had no dropped calls, no dead zones, and GREAT clarity.  The phone is a bit small, so that took some getting used to.  BUT for teenagers or women with smaller hands, this might be the... review »

I've only had Net 10 for about 7 months but this is the best no non-sense phone and pre-paid service I've ever had.
 
Easy to use, easy to sign up, 10 cents min./ talk, 5 cents/text. Any time, anywhere. This is excellent!  International calling is only slightly more but I don't use it anyway.

Recharging can be done online. on the phone or buy a card, easy. You can also set it up to recharge minutes automatically if you wish.

The coverage area is huge. I haven't gone anywhere yet that I haven't had service.

This is the cell service that's just right!

I have had NET10 since March 08 and the service is great.  They talk about more bars well I am getting much better coverage than I did from Verizon.  Verizon had no signal where I work, NET10 5bars.  I have an LG phone and so far have never drepped a call.  With Verizon I always dropped calls.

 I would highly recomend NET10!!!  I am saving a ton of money (with Verizon for the 400 min basic plan with taxes and fees I was at $49.00 a month, and min's did not roolover)  With NET10 they have simple plans to meet almost everyone's needs.  In my case I don't use the phone that much and I am using...

The phone overall is good..nothing fancy but if you need a phone with no contracts and want to keep in touch, it's pretty good. You pay 10cpm for all calls, incoming outgoing, it doesn't matter. You're minutes are subtracted even if no connection is made which I don't like.

 Also make sure you don't call international. It doesn't tell you that you can't call, in fact the phone allows you to call overseas and even subtracts additional minutes from your prepaid card. But they will deactivate your phone without notice, and then you have to wait almost a week to get another sim card to use your phone...

If you are looking for a simple phone with a prepaid plan Net 10 is the way to go! With no roaming charges anywhere in the USA 10 cents a minute means 10 cents a minute. You can even getting a better deal when you spend $28.88 at Wal-mart and get a 300 minute phone card. I always have coverage, crisp and clear. For the person that is not attached to their cell phone Net 10 is a great phone plan.

Not too bad of a cell phone for someone who doesn't want to be tied down to a contract or be required to use so many minutes a month. You buy a card or purchase time on the internet in dominations of 300, 600 or I believe 1000 minutes at 10cpm and you have at least 3 months or more to use them up which isn't bad. Every time you purchase additional minutes, you get additional months added onto the time to use up the minutes.

The downside is that there are no free nights or weekends. Incoming calls and checking your messages go against your minutes and there isn't anyhting cheaper than 10cpm even...

I needed a prepay service that is very cheap for phone calls and has a great signal.Net10 is so perfect.I recently bought there LG 300 and it only took like 5 minutes to activate it.It was so easy. And I live in a area where some cell companies do not get good reception. Well Net 10 is very strong and the call clarity is perfect no matter where I am.For 10 Cents a minute for calls it cannot be beat.I know I have tried different companies and they are cheapes for voice calls and one of the strongest in perfect reception.

I will be talking about Net10, which is a phone service owned by TracFone. This is the cheapest prepaid company out there at 10 cents per minute. The company charges No extra for roaming. There are limits like all other cellular providers. They have a few camera/flip phones, but they are expensive. The Nokia 1600 is the cheapest phone in most stores at $30. I would recommend this phone to others.

I've had a net 10 phone for a while now. the price is very good for a high school student that makes very little money. for the most part, my dad and grandparents pay for it. but, the price is cheap, only ten cents per minute. it's five cents for each text message.
sometimes I have a little bit of trouble with the service. but, it's much better than the tracfone that I used to have. there are times that I don't recieve text messages from people that sent them to me.
though, for the price, the phone quality and service is really great.

The price is hard to beat, especially if a full-blown monthly plan is more than you need. But I have to question if the savings is worth the trouble of dropped calls, poor coverage area, deplorable customer service and unethical practices.

Most of all I am completely disgusted that Net10 disabled the "connect to PC" feature on my Motorola W375 before they sent it to me, disabling the ability to download photos to my PC or upload my own ringtones. What good is a camera phone without the ability to download the photos? Is this even legal?  Certainly it is not ethical.  I carefully read everything...

     This prepaid phone service is convenient, economical, and easy to monitor.  The convenience comes from the many retailers that carry the prepaid minutes that you can just enter directly into the cell phone. In addition , you can buy minutes on-line.

     The service is economical because airtime minutes are just 10 cents per minute everywhere, anytime.  Also, there is no daily or monthly maintenance charges to subtract from your airtime balance.  There is a large coverage area as well so no roaming charges!

     Net10 is easy to monitor because you control the amount of minutes...

I have never not had coverage with their service.  I've used Net10 for two years now and have gotten my husband and parents phones.  They like the service as well, it's easy to buy more airtime.  My only comment is that the larger chain stores have stopped carrying the $15 airtime cards, you have to look for them in smaller stores.
