I'm a long time user of pre-paid service. I've been using T-mobile for
several years. At this point with them I have Triple Time anywhere in
the USA and my  purchase of time is good for 12 months. Of course it
never lasts that long. I use the phone a good bit. The triple time thing
works like if I prepay for 100 minutes, I get credited for 300 minutes.
This is a service for long term prepaid customers. Of course prepaid
minutes always cost more than minutes on  a package account paid monthly.

I'm always sort of backward about these things. I still use a cell phone
that I can use as a boat anchor if I wanted, as it is so big and heavy.
But I like the thing. I don't feel like it might break at any moment,
and I can throw it anywhere and it still works. And It's so big, it
never gets lost in the junk pile on the van seat. I can always find it.

Regards,
