Net10 Annual Mobile Phone Plan

Net10 prepaid wireless has a yearly plan and a Two year plan. The Net ten prepay yearly plan is $200 and you receive 2,000 units and one year of service(10 cents a minute for $16.66 per month ). If you buy six $30 Net10 prepaid cards and put them all in at one time you will get twelve months of service and 1800 units for $180(ten cents a minute for $15 per month). With Tracfone prepaid and Net 10 units and service time roll over.

The Net10 prepaid wireless two year plan costs $400 and you receive 5,000 units and two years of service(8 cents a minute for $16.66 per month). You can always purchase a $30 Net 10 unit card and get 300 minutes and two months of service. Net10 prepaid Wireless: Always 10 Cents–Local, Long Distance or Roaming. Net 10 does not have the Best Pre pay Annual Mobile Plan but if you are averaging 150 to 400 minutes month it is a good simple program. The $30 300 minute two month card is available at Walmart, Target, 7-Eleven, Best Buy, and almost any convenience store or chain store in the US.

T-Mobile Annual Mobile Phone Plan

The T-mob plan has two options. The “Pay by the Day” plan and the “Pay as you Go” plan.

The Pay by the day plan costs you $1 per day and ten cents a minute. With this plan you receive unlimited night calling (7 pm to 7 am) and unlimited calling to T-Mobile mobile phone numbers.

The T-Mobile “Pay as you Go” plan charges different minute rates depending on how much you spend. The larger denomination cards give you more units per dollar spent. If you add a $10 minute card you will pay 33 cents a minute. With the $25 unit card you will pay 19.5 cents a minute. With the $50 minute card you pay 12.5 cents a minute. If you buy a $100 card you will get 10 cent minutes.

T-Mobile Pay as you go Annual Cell Service time

Any time you add a $10, $25 or $50 card you will get 90 days of service time. Once you have added $100 to your T-Mobile prepaid yearly cell plan you will have one year to use your minutes.

T-Mobile Pre-paid Yearly Cell Strategy

The best strategy to use with T-mobile is to add $100 to your plan when you start it. Then add $100 cards when you are low on units. The $50 minute card is not a bad deal after you have added $100. The $10 and $25 cards should never be added because your cost per minute is so high. T-Mob used to have the Best Pre-paid Yearly Mobile Plan but Tracfone prepaid and Net10 prepaid now have less expensive options.

Verizon Wireless Prepaid Annual Mobile Phone Plan

The Verizon plan is virtually the same as the T-Mobile plan. With a Verizon Prepay Yearly Cell mobile you can add a $100 minute card and have service for one year. The basic per minute rate is 25 cents a minute. The Core plan is 99 cents a day and that gives you unlimited calling to other Verizon numbers. After the 99 cent daily charge you will pay 10 cents a minute to any non Verizon Wireless number. Verizon does not have the Best Pay as you go Yearly Mobile phone Plan. The only reason to use the Verizon Prepay Yearly Mobile phone cellular phone is if you are only using the mobile phone occasionally and you are always talking to other Verizon wireless phones.

Straight Talk Yearly Plan

Straight Talk does not really have a Yearly plan but you could stack 12 monthly cards. The $30 per month cards would cost $360 per year. The units will not stack, you will only be able to use 1000 units per month or you would start using the next months service.

The $100 per year Tracfone prepay plan is a pretty good deal also but the units are more expensive at 12.5 cents.

Net10 yearly minutes are ten cents each and your yearly charge will be $200.

The T-Mobile Yearly Plan is simple. You buy the $100 unit card and your service will stay active for up to 12 months as long as you do not run out of units. The units will cost 10 cents.

Tracfone Annual Plan Gets the Nod

The Best Annual Mobile Phone Plan from Tracfone gives you a lot of flexibility. If you do not use all of your minutes they will roll over if you keep your service active.

Straight Talk Unlimited

Straight Talk Vs Tracfone
These two Prepaid cell companies have significantly different pricing.  Tracfone is both a very inexpensive monthly service and an inexpensive pay up front yearly service.

Straight Talk is a Very Low Cost Unlimited service and a very high value $30 a month service . Straight Talk only has two options which you can change between on a monthly basis.

If you are spending $30 a month or more on your cell phone the best deal available is the Straight Talk “All You Need” plan that gives you 1,000 minutes and 1,000 texts, 30 meg of data and unlimited 411 calls.

If you are using more than 1,000 minutes a month the $45 Unlimited plan from Straight Talk is impossible to beat with a National Carrier (Verizon) providing the network.

The minutes are way too expensive.

Straight Talk vs Tracfone Plan Advantages
$30 a month plan gives you 1,000 minutes, 1,000 text messages, 30 megabite of data er month.  No charge for 411 calls.  3.3 cents a minute not counting the text and data.  Minutes do not roll over on this pay as you go system.

$45 Unlimited plan with Unlimited text and Unlimited data.  No charge for 411 calls.  There is no other Nationwide calling plan that comes close to matching this plan.

Nicer phones are available from Straight Talk than  Tracfone.  Although many of the same phones are available from both companies.  Always figure the cost of adding in DMFL to your Tracfone when you are comparing prices.

All Straight Talk phones use the Verizon Network for making calls.

Can I use my Tracfone, Net10 or Verizon Wireless phone with Straight Talk Service?
No you can not use any phone but a Straight Talk phone with the Straight Talk Service.  You can port your phone number from nearly any phone to your Strait Talk Wireless phone.

I would choose the Tracfone.com plan.  I do not use a lot of minutes and my favorite plan is the $200 3,000 minute plan from Tracfone.  My usage is all over the map, some months I don’t use more than a hundred minutes and some months I will use four or five hundred.  I am almost always around a land line to talk on so my cell phone is more for messages.

If I used all of my 3,000 minutes in seven months it would be the same as me buying the $30 Straight Talk cards every month.    Seven months at $30 equals $210.  If I am able to stretch the 3,000 minute Tracfone plan for more than seven months I am getting cheaper cell phone service.

The magic number is 428 minutes a month.  3,000 minutes/ 7 months= 428 minutes per month.  If you average over that you are better off spending the $30 a month for the Straight Talk Plan.

Summary Two of Straight Talk Vs Tracfone

If you are using just a few minutes a month Tracfone is great, you can keep your service active for less than $7 a month.  If you use 400 minutes a month you can purchase the $200 1,500 minute card and get 3,000 minutes with DMFL.   This will cost you less than $30 a month.  If you use over 400 (428)  minutes a month purchase the $30 a month 1,000  Straight Talk Plan or $45 a month unlimited plan.

Happy Calling

Senator Baucus,

Basic economic fact.
The only way to increase quality and decrease cost at the same time over the long term is to increase competition.  This has been the foundation of our countries economy.

Legislation will not change this basic economic fact.  You say you want to make it cheaper and better at the same time.   If you think you can legislate this change you are living in LaLa Land.  The only way you will be able to do both of those at once is to create more competition.

Use basic economic facts and competition to improve our systems do not fight mother nature with Socialist rhetoric.  Promises too good to be true are.  Socialism will not work long term.

Professional Cartels were set up to eliminate competition so certain Professionals–lawyers, Doctors, Dentists,  Accountants could do their job and not have to compete on price. This has caused price gouging in all of these fields.

Competition is what every government employee is afraid of and the only force that improves quality, service and price at the same time.

Currently their is no price competition in the medical field.  The only ones who can ask for competitive bids are the insurance companies.

We have given Doctors the “right” to charge anything they want and we have to pay it because they are a “Professional Cartel.”  The medical schools have artificially limited graduates to keep doctors in short supply.

Society requires Doctors and Hospitals to serve anyone that walks in the doors even if they know they will not get paid.–how do we cure that?

If we turn health care workers into Government employees is that likely to improve anything?

When was the last time the average person got great service from a Government employee?  (For me the last great customer service from a government employee was from elementary school teachers for my kids.)

In education it takes twice as many people to run a public school as it does a private school.  If the Government takes over health care to get the current level of care we will need to double the number of workers.

Comparing the Best Tracfones to one another I have purchased and played with all of them. I am a bit of a phone Junkie.

Tracfone has finally started offering some pretty phones. The availablilty of the nicer phones includes the Lg 225, the Motorola W376, the LG 600g and the Samsung T301G slider. No longer are they all the clunky cheap phones.

Tracfone.com LC 225, LG 600, and Net10 Motorola W375, Sharpie to show size,

Tracfone Phone Feel

I like the touch and feel of the LG 600 the best. The Motorola W376, the LG 225 and the Samsung Slider all also have a nice feel to them.

The antenna stalk sticking out of the LG 225 is a little annoying because I carry my phone in my front pocket but helps this phone get great reception.

Yakking on Your Phone
I like the smooth lines and larger size of the LG 600 and W376 for talking on the phones. I have big hands and a large head and the way they flip out I can get the phones into a comfortable position for talking. The LG 225 is pretty good, I just like the 600 and W375 better. I do not like the way the Samsun Slider fits my face.

Using BlueTooth Tracfone

The Bluetooth on my LG 600 and my W376 will not connect to my Dell laptop or another phone or my friends Acura. I have not been able to get my Samsung to connect to any of them either. The Bluetooth on most of the phones will hook up to headsets but not to most other Bluetooth appliances.  Some people have been able to get their Bluetooth phones to connect to their computer and or car.  Tracfone does not offer customer support for this operation.  Imagine that.

Slider Phones from TracPhone

I really like the feel of a slider like the Samsung T301G. If I had one in my pocket it would probably be in my hand being flicked open all the time. I love the feel of a slider. I will not be using it because I carry my phone in my pocket all the time. The folding phones protect themselves in my pocket better.

Tracfone.com Slider Phone Key lock

The Slider phones do have an automatic key lock so when your phone is put into your pocket you will not be dialing accidentally as your phone gets bumped around. The key lock deactivates when you open the slide making the phone ready to use as soon as you open the keyboard.

How many ways can you misspell Tracfone? Track Phone is one of the most common along with TracPhone and Trackfone.

My Favorite Tracfone phone is the LG 600 followed closely by the Moto W376 and LG 225. They are all available as package deals from Tracfone.com You will always get the best phone deals when you buy a Phone/Minute card package at website.

Learn to Build a Website with SBI

I have been using Site Build It since 2004.  My first attempt to build a site was a complete failure.  I do not blame the failure on SBI, I went into building my site with an agenda.  The next winter I tried it again.  The next year I followed SBI advice.

I looked at the Site Build It Sample Results and figured I should be able to do this.  There are thousands of SBI sites in the top 2% of websites in the world.  Almost all of these sites were build by everyday people.  Not Master Degree Computer Geeks….  If you can write an email you can learn to build SBI websites.

So SBI is $300 a year and I can get hosting for $4.95 a month.  Why should I spend that much?  Site Build It is not just web hosting, it is a complete class on how to build a website that gets traffic.

You can learn to build a website in a few hours.  Building a website that gets traffic is not so simple.  Build it and they will come?  No Way, but if you build it following SBI instructions then yes the traffic will come.

Check out this SBI Video.

Who is Site build it for?

Anyone wanting to learn about building successful web sites.

Picking a Niche,  Finding Keywords, Building a Web Page are the basics of what you will be taught by SBI.  Do you have to learn CSS, Wordpress, Php, MySQL?  No leave that to the geeks, the keys to success with SBI are learning to write and then doing it.

The most important things to learn about building a website.  How to build a good web page and how to pick key words for that page.

The Key to Success with SBI

Learning to write, how to build a web  page and getting it done.  Buy and work Site Build It. It changed my life and most of the others who have worked at it.  Everything you need to succeed with a website will be taught.  One page at a time you will build your web presence.  If I had just kept working on SBI instead of playing with all the other web building programs I would be much more successful.

I spent over five years going to the University, I believe the year I spent immersed in SBI taught me more than I learned in my college career.

My $300 SBI website education was the best money I have ever spent.

If you are just after a cell phone to use in emergencies the best deal you will get is Tracfone.  This is a great Emergency Cell Phone Deal.  If you only carry a cell phone for emergency use.

Using less than 20 minutes a month? Tracfone is the Best

If you do not want minutes just access this is how to do it.  If you will  use less than 20 minutes a month, this plan could be the best for you.  You can keep service for less than $5 a month.

Buy the Phone AND Card from the TracFone.com Website
Buy the least expensive phone that comes with a phone card.  Currently that is the Motorola V170 with a 60 minute phone card for $19.99.  If this deal is over normally Tracfone will have a basic phone with a free phone card.

The reason you want to buy the phone with the card is because you get two months of service when you activate the phone AND when you add phone card you will get another three months of service.  Five months of service for $19.99.  You will have to buy two of these packages to get free freight.  Ten months for $40 is the cheapest deal on monthly emergency cell service you will find anywhere.

If you use less than 20 minutes a month I would categorize your use as and Emergency Phone.

To get the The Cheapest Tracfone Service Time buy the least expensive phone that comes with a Phone Card at Tracfone.com.

DMFL phones are cheaper to feed
If you are going to use the phone at all I would recommend buying a DMFL phone with a phone card.  These deals normally start at $80.  If you run out of minutes on your emergency phone before you run out of service time you are better off to buy one of the DMFL phone deals.  Check for the latest update on Tracfone DMFL Deals.

What is the Tracfone DMFL Trick?
If you want to keep a Tracfone that does not have DMFL. You can put Doubled minutes on your non-DMFL phone. Add the Tracfone Card to a DMFL phone. Then Transfer to the phone without Double minutes.

You can get a free Unlimited Double Minute TracFone with the purchase of a phone card on the Tracfone.com web site.

While transferring you will have to transfer all the service and minutes from the DMFL phone to your non DMFL phone. Say you have 400 minutes on your DMFL phone you will not be able to transfer just one hundred Tracfone minutes to your other phone, you will have to transfer all the minutes and activation time from your DMFL phone.

This is a great way to add doubled minutes to a non doubled phone.  I recommend always adding minutes to a doubled phone and then transferring the minutes to your non DMFL phone.

What is Tracfone Refer-a-Friend
Tracfone Refer a friend was a program that Tracfone Prepaid had. Referring a friend got both phones got 100 free minutes. Many people were referring themselves and getting thousands of minutes. I Bought several hundred Tracfones and got thousands of free minutes with Tracfone Refer a Friend. This program really got a lot of Tracfones out into the hands of cell phone users. Refer a friend was discontinued in 2006.

If you are going to use more than 20 minutes a month you are better off Buy the One year card with Free Tracfone Phone (LG 225 Camera Phone) for $100 at Tracfone.com.
