Pre-paid deals in Wireless Still Exist

It seems everyone over the age of 2 has a cell phone these days. With multiple contract providers, kids phones, and cell phones for every niche and interest, it seems no one escapes the marketing reach of the big carriers.

While most cellular companies are all about aggressively marketing new age handsets with premium data plans and functions, many people still need a cell phone to stay in touch wit friends and family and sent a text message here and there.

For millions of people who just need their phone to act as a phone ( and not a "universal lifestyle remote"), cheap prepaid phones still exist. You can find these phones and airtime cards online or even in your local target or wal-mart. Pick a phone you like. Spend 50 or maybe a hundred bucks tops, and be on your way.

Some companies even offer "plans" that you can cancel any time you want and get deals such as 1 cent per text message and just pennies per minute. Many consumers are finding a cheap prepaid phone is the way to go.
