NET10 was a fantastic decision for me. It is pay as you go with no monthly bills to worry about and only costs 10cents a minute with free roaming as well!!!!!

Net 10 is a great value if you don’t use a lot of minutes. It is easy to manage and the phones don’t cost that much in comparison to other cell phone providers. The minutes always cost $.10, regardless of if is during the week or weekend or night or holiday. On top of that, whenever you run out of minutes, you just go to the store and pick up a time card. Really easy. I bought one for my kid so that he can learn to budget his allowance and at the same time, I have a way to reach im, when I need to.

I have Net10 and love it. I started with their low end LG phone that basically was free because it came with the equivalent value of minutes and airtime to the price$30. Then I git the Samsung qwerty phone at Target on Black Friday which also came with $30 worth of minutes, I was able to transfer my number and balance on their website and have had no problems with it or reason to call customer service. I also pay 3¢ per text with that phone which is a fantastic value. They are the best kept secret in the biz!

I give the Net10 service all my support. The other prepaid services don’t stand a chance in my opinion. The savings each month are great and no longer do I pay overcharged cell bills anymore. Net10 offers me so much and has kept me a very pleased customer for almost a year now. I even entered its new contest at Net10laughoff.com to win some extra cash! Awesome!

I like Net10, so I’m not going to get into that. Since a lot of people are talking about Net10 I’d just like to add that Net10 has this great feature going right now. You can call and get World Cup results from your Net10 phone. I did it yesterday from the road. The number is 1-877-NET10-80. Check it out. It’s cool.

I also use Net10 and am extremely happy with the service and the fone. Cannot understand why anyone would opt for a landline anymore as the saving is huge!

I’ve been using Net10 for a while now and couldn’t be happier! I even got one for my dad yesterday for Father’s Day.. he adores it. It keeps him connected with his family and friends for a low price and he even uses the texting now (he didn’t like it before). Me and him actually did a funny video yesterday on net10laughoff.com, it gave us a chance to win the prize and be famous AND it was fun to spend quality time together. Net10 is just oh so wonderful!

Yea, I just started using Net10 by Tracfone and I am only paying about $20 a month for my cell phone (down from $45). But, consider that I only pay for my phone, so if you have more than one phone, you will need to buy more minutes. Also, I don’t use the phone as much as I used to, but other than that, everything is the same. I used to use Verizon and when I switched over, I did not notice any difference in the quality of calls or anything. From my understanding, though, Tracfone (Net10’s parent company) uses the Verizon network and piggybacks off it. Check it out if you are looking to save money.

I purchased a Net10 LG320G phone. The first 30 minutes of use weren’t bad. Today it started cutting out really bad (using it at home where I always use it). I finally thought the phone was going bad and I called customer service to see if I needed to exchange for a different one. I called “611″ and got the Net10 help. The CS rep told me that there would be no minutes deducted because “611″ was free.

The call was a disaster. He was obviously VERY new, reading off of a script and knew nothing of how anything worked. He could barely speak English. He wanted to verify the serial number, I kept telling him I couldn’t tell if he had it right or not because he kept cutting out. So then he asked me if had any minutes left. I told (again) I was on the phone with him! He then asked if I could make a call on the phone while he held. Ummm… no, I’m on the phone with you!!

Finally, after about 20 minutes of pure and utter frustration, he asked me to try hitting the button below the menu button. Guess what? It ended the call! It was then that I found out the best part of all, it had deducted 20+ minutes for a call that he confirmed would NOT deduct minutes and from which I received not one iota of help.

No. I’m not impressed. I guess I take it back to the store and see if they’ll do anything about it.

The idea of Net10 is great. The reality… not so much.
