This is a guest post from Sage
Harman, a Living Free . . . reader.
Since living free often means being
free from wired services and contractual commitments of most kinds - especially
two year wireless contracts - I thought Sage's sage information would be useful
to any readers shopping for a new no-contract service.
******************
Have you ever been surprised to
find charges you're not aware of - data fees, miscellaneous surcharges and fees
- on your monthly phone or broadband statement? Frustrating, right? Especially
if you are managing your usage very carefully. I myself prefer a no-contract
service plan. No-contract plans will not tie you down with long-term
commitments. If you are not satisfied with the service, you can cancel it and
switch to another provider. Granted that many service providers offer discounts
on phone units if you choose a contract plan, but say you're not happy with the
service, what would you do then? Continue to pay for a service you don't want?
With no-contract plans, be it phone or broadband, you have the peace of mind
that you pay according to your usage so that if you’re in a tight budget, you
can opt to pay the same amount of bill every month.
Major phone carriers today offer
no-contract plans. There are different monthly plans that you can choose from
depending on your phone usage needs. Obviously, it’s best to choose a phone
provider that offers unlimited minutes, text messages, and data usage. If
you’re in the market for a new service plan, remember to evaluate all your
options before making a decision, do your research. And you can also visit No-Contract-Plans.com for free information on no-contract service plans. They provide specs on
various popular no-contract plans, reviews, pros and cons so that consumers
will be able to compare plans and find the no-contract plan that best fits
their budget, local coverage area, and usage needs. The more informed you are,
the more likely you are to make the best decision.
Thank you so much for your
consideration! Hope you had a fantastic holiday!

I looked at Sage's Web site and she has compiled a lot of
useful information and links to a variety of providers and plans. It is a free
site. She is also adding new providers as she learns of them. For example, I
didn't find Millenicom on her site, so I mentioned it to her and she is adding
them as a wireless data provider.
Thanks for the info, Sage.

We haven't had problems with unknown charges as we don't have plans with anyone.
My phone is with Virgin Mobile on the Sprint network, my wife has a Straighttalk phone on the Verizon network and our 20gb of data comes from the Verizon network via Millenicom.
That comes to.. give me a second..$146 a month. TV is over the air....
Sounds like you have it pretty well locked down, Rob. I've been pretty happy with my AT&T wireless voice service, but I'm likely going to switch over to Millenicom for data in the near future. I love my smartphone, so I don't know what direction I'm going to go in the voice phone department in the future, but I'm forever watching all the offerings.

You know the old saying, "if it's not broke, don't fix it".
Have to agree with you there, Rob - that's why I've been with Cingular/AT&T sing 1999 (name changed around 2006 or 2007, I think for the AT&T branding).
