I have pre-paid cell through Virgin. It works for me, but I don't tend to have a lot of long conversations on the phone. YMMV. But I like not having to sign a contract longer than my lease.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

boss does pre-paid. Used to be some company which I'm forgetting, where you just put more minutes on whenever you needed. Now, I think it's T-mobile.

I went with Virgin pre-paid too. I'm pretty happy with them. I get no service in my actual house, but elsewhere it's fine. The first ten minutes used on any given day cost $0.25 a minute, and after that they drop down to $0.10 a minute.
I also really didn't want one of those chirpy phone-to-phone thingies, and Virgin doesn't do that.

I don't use it much, I just have in case of emergencies.
I've seen commercials for Virgin. Does your boss like his service, Heather?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was on some prepaid phone a few years ago. It was ungodly expensive unless you bought $100 at a time. And then if you didn't buy any time for 45 days, you'd loose all the time you'd already bought.
Guess what happened to me twice?
eta: Virgin sounds cool. Any company that can send a jet around the world nonstop unrefueled with only one crew member has to have a good cellular system.

I've seen commercials for Virgin.
I absolutely adored their ad campaign this last holiday season, with their ghetto-fabulous low-budget ads singing this wonderful, slightly-off-key carol to winter holiday inclusivness.
How can you not love a campaign that includes the musical exchange -
Blonde: "I'm a Scientologist"
Older Guy: "Well that's kind of a religion."

Virgin only requires you to put money on the phone every ninety days. And the rates are fixed.

Ooh, that's cool. I've been thinking of buying a prepaid phone.
What are their rates? he-who-is-too-lazy-to-look-it-up asks....

Virgin is sounding better all the time.
Any ideas on cheap isp? Right now I'm on Earthlink dial-up. has anyone ever used Net.zero or Juno?
