Pros and Cons
Customers may love the flat rate of 10 cents by Net10 Prepaid but their network coverage is not that wide compared to other wireless service providers. The basic 10 cents per minute plan doesn’t offer any nights and weekend unlimited service. For those who make frequent calls and send many messages within the calling area of Net10 may find their Unlimited $79.99 very beneficial. For those who may send messages or call outside the coverage area will find the monthly fee too expensive.
