Well I just ordered a net10 phone. So I'll let you know when I get the
service going.
Btw, here is some more info I found out. Since I don't use my phone that
much, I was worried about
receiving text messages, and internet usage by accident (happened on att).
Internet usage is just 5 cents a minute, not 10 like I read, and if you get
a incoming text message
and just delete it, you wont get charged 3 cents.
The phone I ordered can lock out the internet button, if I want.
And I'm not sure, but it looks like you don't get the full internet, just
what they offer, some storefronts and news sites. Which I'm not too worried
about.
I'll let you know
