Rating  - Its coverage is okay and I wanted to use a Nokia phone
It's a lot cheaper to use than any postpaid plan if you're a casual cell phone user. I make about 3 calls a week. The coverage is pretty good, but strangely spotty. I can literally walk 40 feet and go from no signal to a good signal in some places. I mostly got it, because at the time I got it (04/04), it was the only prepaid plan that used a Nokia phone. I really like the Nokia user interface.
The per minute charges are a little confusing, because each card buys a different number of minutes. Also what each card buys changes as T-Mobile competes with other prepaid plans. At least as I write this review, $25 buys you 130 minutes and lasts for 3 months, but if you "top up" i.e. buy more minutes before the expiration date, all your minutes are renewed for another 3 months. Last June, T-Mobile had a deal where your minutes lasted for a year.
My husband uses Virgin which he's really happy with and at the time I bought, Virgin was little cheaper. However I find his phone very confusing to use. And as far as we can tell, the coverage in the SF bay area is about the same between Virgin and T-Mobile. And now T-Mobile is a little cheaper. I'm sure the price wars will continue.
Since the cost to switch is the phone, and the phone is the biggest investment you'll make, I recommend choosing a prepaid plan based on the phone and the coverage in your area.
