Default New Cellphone Service

We are looking into a new no contract phone service. I would like to hear about your experience and recommend which one? There are so many out there , it is confusing!

I use WalMart's SmartTalk. Love that I can choose Verizon network for better access from the towers here. The downside is you have to pay for your phone yourself, which can be pretty pricey, depending on your choice. But I think it is the best way to go in TV.

Hard to beat Tracfone prices... especially if you are a low user like we are. We pay $7 per month with unlimited roll over. Smartphones are free on HSN if you pre-buy a year's service. We've been using them for years. Very satisfied.

We are very happy with the pricing and service from Consumer Cellular. They even give a discount to AARP members, but at their low prices, it isn't necessary in order to save.
