Prepaid Wireless Plans Reviewed

I get a steady stream of questions from readers asking about prepaid wireless plans. But since many are regionally based and doing head-to-head comparisons is difficult, I haven't been able to offer much guidance so far.

Luckily, someone else is: PrepaidReviews.com is a site dedicated to reviewing and ranking the best prepaid wireless phone plans on the market, covering the 15 largest carriers.

The reviews are quite detailed, telling you whether a plan requires a contract, a credit check, and what services are included or available at additional charges. Long-distance and international calling pricing is covered along with such details as the price of "411" information calls. Prepaid handsets are also included and reviewed.

At the risk of spoiling the surprise, PrepaidReviews names T-Mobile Prepaid as its top carrier, with Cingular and Virgin Mobile close behind.

If you're in the market for a prepaid phone, this is easily the best resource I've seen to date.
