10 cents anytime anywhere, activated in a minute and the last 2 years they even had Bundles such as Phone+Leather Case+Cigarette Lighter Cable + $30 Airtime for $29.99

I still have four or five Net10 Phones at home, as at that price (aka "free"), it's easier to get a new one on my annual trip, rather than recharging the old one.

Just checked their website:
They are now selling 750 Minutes for $25 - or a reconditioned phone including 750 Minutes (30 days) for $25
OR a new phone with $30 airtime for $25...
Hi raph-- this option sounds very convenient, as Im sure I will have a Target or KMart store close to the Manhattan apartment Im staying at. Just to confirm, will a SIM card from these guys roam with both of the largest carriers, TMobile and AT&T...?

This recent deal of 750 minutes for $25 sounds just like what I need... I have an unlocked N97 so all I need is a SIM card. Thanks!!
