Best no contract cell phone?

I think all cell phone companies will sell you a phone and not require a contract. However, some of these cell phones are very expensive. Not like the old days. The contract is because if they give you a smart phone for $1000 they want to make sure they make some profit. If you walk in and insist on paying for the phone and no contract they will do that.

Although they don't have rollover minutes because its unlimited, straight talk seems good because you can get a card to activate the phone for a month a time for $30 a month unlimited talk and text. When you don't need the service just let it expire as there is no reactivation fee and the phone can be had for #30.

I have a AT&T prepaid phone. Phone on ebay about $35.
buy the $100 prepaid card good for one year. Do a refill before the year is up and any balance rolls over. Cost of usage is .10 a minute. Pretty low cost per month when you figure it over 12 months.

I have an iPhone and DH uses a cheap TracPhone if we're not together. We got it at Target, and it came with "double minutes" as long as we renu the minutes once a year. Total cost is $100 per year and the minutes accumulate. Works perfectly for us.

$15.00 to much?

T-Mobile probably has the cheapest "no contract" plan coupled with real customer service.

I used to have a TRACFONE, the old phone was years old so I bought a new one and called Trac to have my number changed.
They hosed it up and told me they couldn't fix and and restore my old number.
Then I needed to add money, added it on the phone and the money didn't appear. Called Trac and they told me due to the mis-configure when they didn't move my old number over, the $100 I added had gone to another number and there was nothing they could do. I bumped up, and up, at least two levels, and they all said there was no method for them to put the money on my card.

At least with T-Mobile, I can walk into the local sales office and get someone in person.

He buys 4 phone with 90 days each on them $60.00 per year. Never adds money. In addition I have T-mobile right now and I have had tracfone. NEVER had a problem with tracfone. But then again my transactions were straight forward with them
I would not hesitate to get another tracfone if needed.
YOUR RESULTS may not be everyone else results

For every tracfone horror story like n7bsn's, there are a hundred like darsben's.
I just bought tracfones and ported our numbers over with absolutely no problems and this is the first no contract we have ever had.
Just sayin

Might look into Consumer Cellular. They use AT&T network, good coverage just about anywhere. If your wife IPhone is on AT&T, then talking between your phone and hers should not cost anything or use any minutes. No contract, just about any AT&T phone will work on their system. Plans range from $10 month and up. We use the $15 month plan and no issues.

Have had them for about a year now and everything has gone great. From changing carriers initially, to answering questions, to helping with phone set-up. Calls always answered promptly, friendly and they seem to know what they are talking about.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
