Alot depends on where you seasonally use Wi-Fi..
When I was doing that.. I went with Virgin Mobile.. usually I'd get 20 dollars worth a month.. BUT VM uses the SPRINT network which at time was bragging about how their "In-Network" reliability was within 1% of Verizon. what they did not tell you was their NETWORK was not much more than 1% of Verizon so odds are you'd be "out of network".
Today.. As I understand it. Sprint has been sold to another provider with a much better network.. BUT.. There is a reason I'm not naming that provider.. (I'm not sure it has in fact been sold) Hoping to have an excuse to chat with provider rep soon on that but the motive is simply not there at present.
One of the fun things is I could walk into say a LOVE's Truck stop and ask for a "Twenty Dollar Virgin" (Pre-paid card).
