    So which one should I go for? For cost measures, the minutes and such are low (which is why I won't be accepting any higher offers.) If you all can find something with similar specs for a lower price, I'll consider this as well. I also want to be able to text/multimedia message lots, as well as make and answer calls WITHOUT having to pay $3/day for making/answering calls, even ONCE per day, thank you Verizon prepaid. :evil: As of this posting, I go through at least two $30 prepaid VZW cards every month (give or take), and since all I do is basically text on it (since multimedia messages are 50 cents to send/receive, and again, calls are $3/day to make/receive,) I send and receive about 750 texts a month, at least. The offers are as follows:

    AT&T. 450 daytime mins w/ 5k nights/wiikend mins, unlimited mobile-to-mobile and texting, as well as rollover mins, all for $59.99. My mom got a promotion in the mail today for two phones when you open a new account with them, however IIRC you'd have to get a family plan, I'd like to see if you can get a single plan. Bad news is, it'd be in her name. :(

    OR:

    Verizon. 450 daytime mins w/ unlimited nights/wiikends/mobile-to-mobile/texting for $59.99. By doing this, I can keep my present phone (which as I've stated before it's a Verizon, so..), not to mention I should be able to put this one in my name.

    I should also mention that I live near cincinnati, ohio and would like something that can go nationwide.

    thoughts, comments, etc?

      Verizon because you're never in the dead zone, and they don't scream in your face in the commercials.

        Verizon just works everywhere. I mean I almost always have full bars and can at least get some kind of signal even in the most remote locations.

        My issue with Verizon is they lock out too many features on their phones with their firmware. For example they will remove factory installed games and settings they don't trust you to be able to change. You can hack many of their phones, but it's BS you have to go through all of that. Still they have the best coverage.

          back in the days of Cingular, AT&T was shit. Now, it might be alright. I use Verizon. It works very well.
