You can purchase a $30 card for 300 minutes and two months service. If you want a phone to work you will have to buy service regularly. You are not punished with a $150 penalty if you let your prepaid phone service lapse. Wanting to buy a phone and use it forever without having to pay is like wanting to never put gas in your car again and still drive it everyday. Good luck finding a free phone to use. Rick Marianne,

You are a little confused with your numbers. You can purchase a $30 card for 300 minutes and two months service.

Wanting to buy a phone and use it forever without having to pay is like wanting to never put gas in your car again and still drive it everyday.

Good luck finding a free phone to use.

I bought a phone to use for emergencies only, and was told at the point of purchase that since there is “no contract,” I would never be obliged to buy more minutes than I actually need, nor would there be a schedule under which I’d have to buy the minutes I did need. This was all false. I found AFTER purchasing the phone that you are REQUIRED to either buy huge amounts of air time in advance in order to keep your phone active, or to buy a MINIMUM of 200 minutes a month – again, just to keep your phone active, not because you need the air time. The only way you can cut the cost down to merely $15 a month is to enroll in a “plan” that automatically bills you $15 a month for 150 minutes – even if you only need 50 minutes. Net10 will end up costing you MORE, not less, if you use it as your only phone. I am now stuck with 300 minutes I’ve already paid for, and six days in which to use them before the investment I’ve already made is just lost. “No contract, no hassle, no evil” is a joke. Don’t fall for it! Do NOT buy a Net10 phone. It isn’t as simple or evil-free as they make it sound.
