Q: Are there any good websites to compare cell phone plans?

Q: How do you use systems of equations to compare cell phone plans?
I don't care if you give me answers or just sources. I JUST NEED HELP!

A: Here's a simple example. I'm going to ignore text messaging and mobile web prices because I don't know how complicated you want it to be. I'm just going to assume there is a monthly charge (no matter how many minutes you use) and a charge per minute for the amount of minutes that you go over your allowed minutes. Let's say plan A is 39.99/month for 500 minutes, and then it is $0.65 per minute after you use the 500 minutes. Let's say plan B is $34.99/month for 450 minutes, and then it is $0.60 per minute after the 450 minutes. Let x = number of minutes you use each month. The cost of plan A would be C = 39.99 if you use less than 500 minutes or C = 39.99 + 0.65(x-500) if you use 500 minutes or more. The cost of plan B would be C = 34.99 if you use less than 450 minutes or C = 34.99 + 0.60(x-450) if you use more than 450 minutes. Right away you can see that Plan B is cheaper if you don't use more than 450 minutes. You can find when the plans cost the same amount by setting the cost of each plan equal to each other. 39.99 + 0.65(x-500) = 34.99 +0.60(x-450) Then solve for x.

Q: How To Compare Prepaid Cell Phone Plans?


A: Here are some things to consider that will make the process of comparing prepaid plans an easy one: 1. Price per minute - prepaid cell phones minutes cost between 10 cents and 60 cents. That's a huge range. With some prepaid providers you buy a bucket of minutes, and the more you buy at one time, the less per minute cost. With others you put dollar amounts on your phone. With more money you add, your number of minutes per dollar will increase. Long story short, the more you spend, the cheaper each individual minute will be. 2. Expiring minutes -This is really important. Once your minutes expire, you will lose them. If you use your cell phone often, this probably won't be an issue. But, if you are buying a phone for emergency purposes or to use infrequently, you might want to spend more per minute for a later expiration date. Some carriers also make you add a certain amount of minutes or money per month in order to keep your account active. 3. Daily Fees -Some carriers charge a fee for each day your phone is used. This can be as high as $1.00 a day, but will come with lower per minute fees. If you use your phone infrequently this might be a good deal for you. If you use your phone for many days a month, you will be paying too much, especially if it's for short call. 4. Nights and weekends/ mobile to mobile -Some plans offer free nights and weekends and some offer free calls to others with the same carrier. Again, you might want to pay more per minute if you will be able to take advantage of these features. 5. Roaming charges - Some carriers have roaming charges and other have none. It is important to find out if there will be times that you will be roaming. If you will be roaming frequently, you will want to avoid a carrier that has roaming fees. Some are up to 70 cents per minute. 6. International calling -Some prepaid plans offer it and some do not. If you need international calling capabilities you will want to be sure that the carrier you select offers this service. Finding the best plan can be a daunting task. Be sure to sit down and write what your needs will be before shopping. If you know what your needs are for the above topics, you will be able to make an educated comparison of prepaid plans.

Q: I need a good site that compares cell phone plans and rates. Any help?
I currently have no service and would like something that would include a phone for me and my wife.

A: WWW.PHONEGG.COM www.gsmarena.com www.allaboutsymbian.com www.mobile-review.com

Q: can you suggest a websitefor comparing cell phone service plans?
I was looking at wirefly.com... after checking it out for a few hours and comparing to major cell phone services' websites I found that the info presented accurately shows what the plans are by each company... however... it only seems to show comarisons in a table of monthly base price, anytime minutes, if weekend/night is free, and JD Power rating... It would be nice to have a table showing more to compare. I am interested in activation fees, if roaming is included, if mobile to mobile is included... things like that. A good website that often offers great package deals (like free phones) would be appreciated also. OR... any website really that subjectively and objectively gives the "low down"/dirt on which company is best per the consumer's situation... (I will still be pursing companies on the phone/in their official stores/in indirect multi-company stores/etc) THANKS!

A: www.letstalk.com

Q: Changing cell plans without a contract?
I'm going to contact my cell provider to hear what they'll say, but I wanted to find out if anyone else had an answer to this which I can compare to theirs. I know that changing your calling plan will extend your contract with your cell phone provider (unless you have Alltel, who allows you to change your plan whenever you want without a contract extension). My contract is up and I've been paying month to month. Will I need to sign a new contract if I decide to change my calling plan, or can I change it without any hassle?

A: if you hav verizon, no. but you have to pay for the full phone

Q: Cell phone plans?
Hey, I am wanting to get a cell phone. I am 15 and almost 16, I have to get one when I am 16. So I wanted to get one a little early. I was wondering what the best plan was. Like what is the cheapest w/ most minutes? Can you call people in other networks? What has the cheapest text? When do the free night time minutes start? Is there website that compare plans? and, what has worked best for you? sorry thats a lot of question.....but I am pretty much cell phone dumb.

A: cheapest now is like 59.99... for like 700 mintues.. and i think thats like t-mobile and the contract is for one year. yes you can contact other people in other networks.. it'll just cost you.. all text messages are 10 cent. unless you buy the package where its like $10 extra each month... Free night mintues start at differentt times depending on your plan

Q: which is the best cell phone plans?

A: Well, Its going to be hard to find ANYTHING under $30.00 a month. But me personally, I would reccomend AT&T, I got the Nokia 6555 for my grandparents, Its basic, and its a flip phone, So it works. AT&T would be a great first phone, Because its not just for First Ppl, In my Opinion its the best, son you wouldnt ever have to change.

Q: Is there a website that allows you to pick and choose features from a cell phone plan?
I am wanting to get a cell phone plan that allows me to get the features I need, with extra flair, while being as inexpensive as possible while meeting the necessary requirements. Is there a comparison website that allows me to compare the plans and decide which plan is best?

A: go to sprint.com/sero there are 3 plans, $30 500min, $50 1250min, and $100 2500min. if u get it before jun 30th u get free unlimited text messaging. all plans get unlimited night and weekend @ 7pm, unlimited web/pic mail/vid mail. when u go to the site there will be a box that will ask for a sprint employee email, put savings@sprint.com

Q: Cell comparison?
Is there anywhere I can compare cell plans and phones...this is a basic plan for two people...one who doesn't talk much...one who would like never to get off the phone.

A: It would depend upon the Provider,sounds like a shared or family talk plan would be best. You should keep in mind what companies the people you talk to the most use, as if you get the same cokmpany, you can use the mobile to mobile feature and save money!! An early night and weekend feature (nights start at 7pm with it) may be a value for you too.

Q: help me pick a cell phone plan?
Is there a web site that compares cell phone plans? or tells me which plan would be best for me? I need a cell for me and my husband, we want to be able to talk and text each other for free. We want local number to really be local numbers, not long distance on the cell, no romaing charges. We wouldn't be hadly using it, so I'm not sure we need one, but all the plans are confusing, and I want to be able to get a signal almost anywhere. Also don't prepay minutes.

A: why don't you take a family plan. if you want to be able to get signal almost anywhere, try Verizon or At&t cingular.
