Actually, Verizon has a neat pre-paid program… and a great network.



My wife’s phone is on the Verizon network - the prepaid plan is the same as the AT&T prepaid plans that the rest of our phones are on. They do have a few other prepaid plans that may be better depending on who and how much you call. The Verizon phone sometimes comes in handy where AT&T has poor coverage. Verizon tends to be better for coverage than AT&T around universities by our experience.

The downside to Verizon is that they nickel and dime you all over the place. If you want to get a picture out of your phone, you have to email it incurring a charge. On our AT&T phones, you just transfer it to your computer via BlueTooth. Verizon also had to issue some very large refunds to consumers recently as they were found to be overbilling for various crazy little things.
