I switch from traditional cell phone plans to Net-10 about 5 months ago. From what I have heard they use the same towers as AT&T. I save about $100 dollars a month compared to what I spent with Sprint. I have used my phone all over and have had very good results. My only criticism would be that their data is not near as fast as Sprint and I have nothing good to say about their customer service. They recruited from the absolute bottom of the barrel. It is well worth the savings.
