I've been a Sprint customer since 2001 and my plan includes 3,000 minutes for $35/month. I know that sounds like an awesome deal, and it would be; if I actually used my cell phone and talked more than 80-120 minutes/month. So basically I'm paying $35/month for (at most) 2 hours of talk time.  That doesn't seem to be a great deal anymore. I was looking into Virgin Mobile, since their phones are cheaper and they have "Pay as you go" options. If anyone is using Virgin Mobile, please give me your opinion....I'm so tired of wasting my money on minutes I never use. Thank you

from the virgin website...
Pay 25¢/minute the first 10 minutes of the day.
Pay just 10¢/minute the rest of the day.
Top-Up to add airtime. (Top-Up $20 every 90 days to keep your service working even if you have a balance.)
Fits your style if you...
Use the phone a few days a week.
Use less than 300 minutes each month.
Avoid commitments altogether.
as far as I can see at the sprint site they dont offer pre paid service...
other pre paid plans ... cingular pay as you go 25.00 has a 90 day lifespan...
check them out... the cost of the phone could be a deciding factor

Why limit to just two, don't they have more service providers in the area?

P.s the start at $20 online you can get them anywhere.
The card i have now Double Minute Prepaid Plan
doubles your future minutes & 300 units for $ 129 every card you buy after is Double Minute. Is great sevice no drop calls like cingular.

Did Cingular change their options? It may be regional. In Indiana, Virgin easily has the best pay as you go deal. 20 bucks or so goes for at least 90 days. With cingular you have to renew every 30.
With Virgin, 90 bucks will lock your number in for a whole year no matter how many minutes you use.
Sprint also has a new plan that has 200 minutes for about 30 bucks a month. I'm leaning towards that when my Cingular plan expires..
