Sprint, Verizon prepaid, or Net 10?

Just moved and looking at a few cell phone options.

A.) Sprint - I'm in Lincoln/Omaha, which means no LTE yet, supposedly it's coming by the end of 2013. Because my company gets a discount, it would be about $80 a month for unlimited everything and I would be able to purchase an iPhone 5 for about $100.

B.) Verizon prepaid (no contract) - It would be $60 a month for 2GB of data, unlimited talk and text. I would have to buy a phone, and would probably try to get a iPhone 4 on eBay for around $250-$300 brand new.

C.) Net 10 (no contract) - Once again about $55 a month for 1.5GB of data, unlimited talk and text, I would be using AT&T towers. Probably would need for $300 for a brand new iPhone 4.

Verizon gets the best service here by far, then AT&T, then Sprint.

If verizon gets the best service then you can get a used verizon phone or iphone, activate it online as page plus dealers can't do iphone because of company policy, and it would be $55 month with 2gb data

you can get phones off of craigslist cheap

Watch out for hidden charges with some companies. Our granddaughter wanted a Go phone. After careful checking I found that here in Missouri she would actually be charged 4 minutes for every minute used.

The Verizon plan for $60 only has 500MB of data. The Verizon plan for $70 has the 2GB of data.
Verizon does not allow you to use a Iphone on their prepaid plans.

If I wanted a Iphone I would go with Net10.

If I did not care what smart phone and money was not an option I would go with Verizon.

  • Can you jailbreak a iphone 4s on Verizon and get it to use prepaid on Verizon? My sister owes a lot of money for late bills on Verizon and we're wondering if it possible to get her iphone 4s unlocked and use verizons prepaid with those cards from wal mart?
  • Can verizon iPhone 4 be used as a prepaid verizon phone? I have an iPhone 4 that was on my contract. I'm getting a new phone soon so I'm selling my phone to a friend but he wants to use it as a prepaid phone on verizon. It seems to me it wouldn't make a difference whether or not it was originally prepaid or not, but I as wondering if anyone knew the answer. Can a old contract phone be used as a prepaid phone?
  • Can sprint iPhone 6 be activated on sprint prepaid? I bought a sprint iPhone 6. Can it be activated on sprint prepaid? Also, can It be activated on boost mobile? WITHOUT THE NEED OF ANY FLASHING AND WHAT NOT
  • Can I use sprint iphone for with the contract up as a sprint prepaid? My IPhone 4 that I have with sprint is currently up to renewing my contract but instead of getting locked into a 2year.contract can I use the same phone as a prepaid sprint phone. I wasn't sure because I had heard no, that you had to buy the iPhone for a prepaid plan but I have also heard since its the same carrier I should have no problems using it as a prepaid phone.
