Prepaid Cheap Cell Phones from TracFone

Prepaid Cheap Cell Phones from TracFone

The newest prepaid cheap cell phones from TracFone are not even being sold under the name of TracFone. 

The company started a new discount brand to sell their new phones to consumers and it looks like it's working out. The latest prepaid cheap cell phones from TracFone are the ones that fall under the Straight Talk brand name. 

Many people are starting to look at these prepaid plans as some of the best in the business.  Straight Talk is an MVNO that runs on Verizon's strong network.  This means that for lower prices, you get to use a really solid network that gets great coverage across the country.

These cheap prepaid cell phones run on a stellar network, so that concern is done away with. 

One of the Straight Talk plans is an unlimited plan,  which seems to be de rigeuer for many cellular services companies.  A few other wireless cell providers have unlimited plans including Boost Mobile, Cricket/Leap Wireless, and MetroPCS. 

AT&T has also jumped into the game by rehashing its own version of cheap prepaid phones, which seem to be a little on the expensive side for most users--but everyone's needs are different, so there may be a niche in which these plans fit.

With the new TracFone Straight Talk prepaid cheap cell phones, subscribers receive unlimited talk time, text messaging, and web browsing. Sounds unlimited to me! 

It costs $45 every month for the service. The second plan is 15 bucks cheaper at $30 and allows subscribers to use 1,000 minutes of talk, 1,000 text messages, and 30 megabytes of data. 

Clearly, these are very attractive plans, but just how do they stack up against the competition?  It seems that the only real competitor in terms of price, and in terms of the demographic that fits with this plan, is Boost Mobile.  But even in that case, it appears that Straight Talk's cheap prepaid cell phones win out because of better network coverage.
