Hi Buford.<p>The real good stuff is in Europe.
You buy a card at a corner store with as many minutes as you choose, with the service provider you want.<p>Stick it inside your OWN portable telephone, and you are talking.
No contracts, no ties, no monthly fees, no credit references, no nothing.<p>They don't know you; you don't know them.
You did not like it? Buy the card from any other service provider. Used all the minutes ? Get another card.<p>Try to do this in USA and you are bait. The nearest thing forces you use certain amount of prepaid minutes a month, if you don't, you loose them...and pay again for next month...<p>Miguel

Alot of them let you keep your minutes if you buy a minimum of $10 as month<p>But prepaid cell phones here in the states are a RIP OFF...<p>You pay as much as a dollar per minute unless you buy $50 or $100 in minutes and you still pay 66 cents sometimes 33 cents a minute if you are lucky<p>And all the card is is a number, The card itself is useless <p>Rip off I tell ya!
