Before I discovered NET10, I can't believe I paid more for wireless. I was spending close to $200 per month for my family to talk and text with AT&T. Now with NET10, we get better coverage, more minutes, and there is no contract. I am loving my Samsung phone and was totally surprised by the lack of dropped calls. I recommend NET10 to anyone who wants the convenience of a cell phone without a contract or spotty service.

Unfortunately, I lost my job last year and was forced to strip down my expenses to the bare essentials. The first thing I cut out was my cell phone bill. Every month I was being charged for overages and I was spending thousands of dollars each year just to own the cell phone. Since I like the safety and convenience factor that a cell phone provides, I knew I needed a cheaper and more practical solution to wireless. I came across NET10 Wireless. With their free 60 days of service and 300 minutes guarantee, how could I say no? After 10 months of NET10 Wireless service, I am completely happy with the nationwide coverage, no bills, no contract, and especially the fact that I know I will always pay ten cents per minute to talk and only five cents per text.

I am a talker. Believe me, I am on my cell phone all day long just catching up with friends and family or doing business. I wanted a name brand cell phone that was affordable and reliable. I was sick of paying overage fees and getting bills for hundreds of dollars. I was ready to talk when I wanted, as much as I wanted, for only ten cents per minute whether I was at home, traveling for business, or just calling my family long distance. I will never sign a contract again!

SAMSUNG T201G
Can't beat the price
Pros: Small, lightweight, durable and great talk time.
Cons: Documentation is hard to find
Got this phone for my mother. She needed something simple that could text as well as call. The phone's a good sport too. I've seen her drop it a number of times on hardwood floors and while I wouldn't recommend doing that it still works fine!

MOTOROLA EM326g
Hot slidey phone, cool price
Pros: Candybar shape is solid and media capability is good.
Cons: Keys may be a little too small for big hands
Paid $60 for this phone and I'm impressed. The mp3 player is cool and easy to use but it's the FM radio that really surprised me. I got the headset and plugged it in and it was crisp and clear as the phone is when I'm talking to someone. Never thought I'd really use the radio but it's great for picking up news when you're not at home or in the car. If you have big hands, texting might be annoying for you.

LG600
LG does it again!
Pros: Camera is great and calls are really clear
Cons: Can't stop sending MMS Messages!
I used to have another LG phone and I loved it but the network I was on was too expensive since I just started college and have to pay for that. I got this phone and originally thought I was downgrading but was pleasantly surprised! The call quality is crystal clear and the camera's surprisingly good. It's so easy to use that I find myself taking more pictures than I did on my last “fancy” LG phone. The only problem is that since I'm sending so many pics home to my sister and parents, my new college friends are becoming camera shy!

MOTOROLA W375g
Who knew the W375g would be so good?
Pros: Flashlight and weather
Cons: Wish it came in pink.
I love my moto! I don't usually write reviews (or anything on the web for that matter) but I got this phone a couple weeks ago and wanted to share how much I LOVE it. Besides being the best looking phone Net10 has, it's got some options that make it stand out from normal flip phones. You can set the phone to your area and get news and weather from it as long as you have reception. The only other time I've seen these options were on smart phones they were much, much more expensive. It also does sports for those people who are into that. The thing I like best about it though is the flashlight. I carry a big purse to school instead of a backpack and during the day it gets messy in there. The flashlight helps me find my keys and other small things inside of my bag really, really, quickly, which is awesome. Hope this review helps! :)
