I've used T-Mobile prepaid for years and converted dozens of people to it. You can use any (compatible) phone you want with it, just insert SIM. The minutes never expire as long as you buy minutes at least once a year, which will cost you as little as $5. I spend around $100 on my phone service per year, total.
Unfortunately AFAIK, you just plain can't get data plans with prepaid, from anyone. So prepaid doesn't work very well with smartphones. Also, T-Mobile coverage leaves a lot to be desired compared to other networks.
- randallsquared 16y agoT-Mobile is actually really great in this regard (I also use them, now), since once you need a data plan, you can just use their month-to-month plans without a contract. My month-to-month is ~$90, for unlimited voice/text/3G-data. But my impression remains that if you buy a "prepaid phone", it will probably be very low quality.
