I would rather go with Virgin Mobile new plans or even with Boost which includes unlimited 411 calls.

15 bucks is too expensive? For who?

Virgin Mobile's new plans focus on web. These plans aren't focusing on the web.

Unlimited 411 wouldn't make any of my customers want to get a service. You can call free 411 and still get that same feature.

Even the cheapest Virgin Mobile plan is $25/month and you get text, web, email and 300min anytime. It's still a better deal.

But, with T-Mobile's plans, you can roam on AT&T with no extra charges. Virgin Mobile has no roaming.

Cuz that's news to me...

I don't really know of any prepaid that offers really good roaming options - especially an AT&T and tmobile roaming agreement.

All T-Mobile Prepaid plans include these great perks:

Nationwide long distance calling
National coverage with no roaming charges
Voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, and 3-way calling
Award-winning T-Mobile service

Their prepaid coverage map is the same as their regular map.

+Plus+ T-Mobile uses GSM. Which means you can use much, much better handsets than the POS ones available from ghetto Boost! Handsets like high-end Nokia's.

Why would you buy a high end Nokia if you could only text...

Well, the E71 has a keyboard for txt'g, personally I'm not a big fan of texting, it's inforaml & inpersonal.

I understand that, but I highly doubt a prepaid customer is going to buy a high end phone like the e71 just for texting.

Why not? You'll get a decent camera, a PDA, and a texting device.

compare that to Virgin mobile's offerings.

Yeah, you just made that up. There's no roaming agreements with AT&T anywhere I know about, and I work for T-Mo. There used to be in the Carolinas, but then we bought SunCom and started building out our own network.

Clearly you are misinformed, as T-Mobile does have many roaming agreements with AT&T...

I also work for T-Mob as a PDA rep.

but if you talk alot why would you want 300 minutes?

It's a better deal if you want a phone for things other than voice calls... although if I wanted my phone to do more than voice calls I wouldn't be in such a rush for prepaid.

One plan overs UNLIMITED talking, how can you compare that to 300 minutes? That's taking two different crowds and trying to merge them into one. The virgin mobile deal is nice, but pointless if you need a lot of minutes.

411?!!!? I never call 411,...!!EVER!! I just look up a ph # on the internet! Google Maps is very useful for that also,

Well, with a prepaid plan that doesn't include data, Google maps won't help much.

You can text 46645 with the same info you'd give 411 and get a text back with the phone number, however.

$15 a month for unlimited messaging, no voice plan required.

In what hell is that expensive?
