Sprint and Walmart unveil Common Cents prepaid wireless plans |
One of the things that has bothered me about pretty much all the wireless plans out there is that they round minutes up. If you go into the next minute even for a second most plans charge you for the whole minute.
Sprint and Walmart have announced a new plan called the Common Cents plan that is a prepaid wireless plan that does the opposite of most calling plans. It rounds down to the lowest minute. That means a call lasting 1:45 seconds will only cost you the price of a minute.
Each minute on the service is seven cents and texts are the same price. You can add unlimited texts for $20 monthly. Refill cards are $20 for 30 days of service and 565 minutes or $30 for 60 days of service with 848 minutes.

Seriously Sprint, I think this might be a great deal, but not enough to tempt me away from my awesome prepaid company – Net10. Net10 is avaiable at most places I shop so I’m limited as Common Cents customers seem to be. Not to mention, my calls are always .10 a minute and texts are .05 – no variations or rounding here and I still have an unbeatable low bill. Sure, I miss having the phone selection I had with a contract carrier, but Net10 does have a pretty decent and super affordable stock whihc is more than Cents can offer now. Best of all, there are so many minute combonations, I really have so many options based on usage and no extra data plans necessary. Net10 still has the plans to beat.
I totally agree with Kimberly. Net 10 is THE company to use! They have gotten the JD Award for the best no-contract experience, when Sprint has been on the MSN Money ‘Customer Service Hall of Shame’ for 4 years. I absolutely love Net 10′s nationwide coverage and how cheap they are. I plan to stay with them for a long time.
I love my Net10 phone and plan it’s just so cheap and amazing. Sprint is by far the worst cell phone company.
