Boost mobile and Alltel are the best in prepaid. You only pay a dollar a day for unlimited texting, unlimited nights and weekends and mobile to mobile with i believe sprint and nextel costumers. But the best phone they have is a hundred bucks, but i still think its so worth it. Alltel is basically the same.

Question by JLH: I have Sprint/Nextel cell phone service, can I get any unlocked phone that I want and put the sim card in it?
I have a old phone and I can’t get a 2 yr. contract and upgrade so if I get a phone from amazon.com that is unlocked and put my sim card in it will it work?

No. Unlocked phones are for use on GSM networks. The term “unlocked” means that the user can insert any SIM card into the phone and it will work on the network the SIM card is tied to.

Sprint/Nextel phones use a CDMA network. CDMA phones to not use SIM cards and are tied to one specific carrier.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Question by N1080: Can you access the internet wirelessly, everywhere, using a calling card in Europe?
I would like to be able to use the internet in Spain, wireless and everywhere, through a netbook or a blackberry. Do you need a special modem to do so? Can you do this through some sort of calling card? About what would it usually cost per hour to surf the web? How fast would it be, compared to cable wireless in the US? If yahoo answers allows, can you suggest any particular calling card or whatever?

Yes you can use a high speed card provided by a your cell phone provider. They generally connect though PCMCIA, USB, or PC express. Mine runs about $ 60 a month and can be used anywhere you get cell phone service. Some companies charge extra when out of the country based on your usage others allow you to pay a $ 20 +/- fee to have unlimited in another country. I know Verizon and AT&T are both good for this. Give one of them a call and they can help you iron out the details.

Question by mgt17ga: Can I unlock a prepaid cell phone to use with my existing cell phone service?
I currently have cell phone service (not prepaid) and would like to upgrade to a different phone; I live outside of the US and it is somewhat of a hassle to upgrade to a new phone. I was wandering if it is possible to purchase a prepaid cell phone, unlock it and use it with my current sim card and monthly service?

Thanks for your help!

Question by PrettyNPurple: How can I get a sprint card u put in your computer and you get service wherever there is cell phone service
Also what is it called?

Best answer:

Answer by Jamie W
For sprint its called an aircard. Basically its a card that fits into your pci slot on your laptop and then works as a cellular modem for your computer. The speeds are not as high as regular high speed, and you usually have a limit the bandwidth. Saying all that, just go to sprint.com, or call them, and they can set you up. Be aware they run around 60 bucks a month for this service

Verizon, and ATT also offer similiar cellular modem cards, and the prices are about the same, so feel free to choose the best carrier for your convenience.
