The 5 – Mobile Phones That Don’t Look Prepaid
The prepaid wireless market is hot so hot that Sprint decided it wasnt enough to just lease its wireless network to Virgin Mobile, it went ahead and bought the entire company. Prepaid offers some advantages over contract plans, most notably in the fact that you dont have a contract. Youre free to come and go as you please and can better budget your spending. While prepaid phones have come a long way in form and function, theyre generally not the slickest handsets out there. Still, you can find some gems in this episode of The 5, Rich DeMuro takes a look at five mobile phones that dont look prepaid. techvi.com *** HEY THERE I’M RICH DEMURO AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF THE 5!

Sprint has ruined Virgin Mobile. Don’t like their plan choices. But for now my phone is grandfathered in. Looking at Verizon now!

@emanemzz That’s because it uses Sprint’s crappy network.
@Cruisexpert96 why? i’m just asking, i have one right now bcus I’m “new” wit this tracfone stuff n I’m kinda hating it bcus i can’t get ringtones, like my number doesn’t work or something.
@Cruisexpert96 Also i can’t receive pictures messages dat sucks n i don’t even have a camera to take any so yea i am starting to hate this tracfone stuff
If you want to see a phone that dosent look like a prepaid cell phone. Look at the Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V !!!
@VietnameseGurl98 Oh i just didn’t like mine cuz i couldn’t text all i wanted to lol.
@Rozyonnie !. Their phones are crappy. 2. they don’t have unlimited plans of any sort 3. They only have minutes 4. They refuse to give you a replacement when one of their crappy phones break.
@Rozyonnie i switched to Verizon, but other than that i would suggest Boost Mobile, MetroPCS, Cricket, or Sprint.
Uhhhhh…. O_o?!?
Best prepaid phone is the motorola triumph android smart phone 45 bucks for unlimited talk text and web

@Cruisexpert96 how? what is the difference between tracfone or net10?
The only prepaid phone service I have been satisfied with is Virgin mobile weather you get a smart phone or not they have the most reliable service. Cheap phones from $5 and awesome smartphones like the motorola droid. Also you can get a free hour of airtime just by signing up with VM with this code: 8LNGYs9G
