When you call customer service to complain, you learn that you cannot purchase air time for a phone unless you are in physical possession of the phone. I'll have to buy an air time card and get the number to the phone user. When they ran out of air time, I could get on the Net10 web site and purchase more time for them without sending them money.
Ridiculous. Why have a web site. And yes, I have talked to supervisors.
I've bought a few of these phones for relatives who live around the country but can't afford regular cell phone service. Also, I have $100 stranded on a phone account which can't be used. Oh, so they can spam your e-mail.
Now the website will take your money from your credit card, and when the time comes to "add the air time to your phone," the web site goes to 404 not found. This makes the Net10 phones a lot harder to use.
Although I get dropped calls every now and then, I have no major problems with coverage in my area.Free Phone ---------- For the price of this refill card, you can get this LG300 phone PLUS 300 minutes. Net10 is the best deal on prepaid phone service. Net10 also sells a 150-minute refill card which offers 30 days of service.Cheap Rates ----------- At 10 cents per minute for local or long distance calls, the Net10 phone service is simply the best deal. Highly recommended.
Go on, give Net10 a try. I doubt you can get a better deal -- decent coverage, great rates, and a free phone -- all with NO commitments. My phone bill is thus a mere 15 dollars a month. With 300 minutes, I find that I get over 100 minutes leftover at the end of 60 days of service.
Minutes will keep rolling over for as long as add more minutes before your current minutes expire. If you're sitting on the fence, that should serve as an incentive to give Net10 a try.Conclusion ---------- The Net 10 service offers the best prepaid cell phone service bar none. Here's why:60 Days of Service------------------This Net10 300-minute refill card offers 60 days of service, not 30 days as stated in the Product Description. So, in effect, you're getting this phone for free.
You can add minutes right from your phone once you have an account set up through the Net10 Website.Decent Coverage --------------- Net10 reportedly uses both AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile networks. Text messages only costs 5 cents per message.If you use your mobile phone only occasionally, prepaid is the way to go -- no wireless contracts, no penalties for early cancellation, no worries.Rollover minutes ---------------- If you buy more minutes before your old minutes expire, your old minutes will roll over and expire the same time as your new minutes. Easy Refill-----------There's no need to buy a refill card.
I didn't have to use gas to go buy this item. Ordering through Amazon.com was easy and fast.
If this is not evil, what is. Instead I would need to purchase 2000 minutes (at a cost 33% greater) for one year of service. I purchased the Net10 phone because of the one year of service available along with 1500 minutes. Before the 300 minutes delivered with the phone (which gave me 60 days of service) had been used I found that 1500 minutes was no longer available.
It's MUCH cheaper than the big phone companies. There are no gotchas or hidden fees. I got my Net10 about 4 months ago. And no annoying contract. Highly recommended. I love it. It's easy to use.
