ALL of them ultimately end up making you pay one way or the other. Use the function and pay or don't use it and the minutes expire. It comes out to a monthly (or otherwise periodic) payment regardless of use.
That being said. T-Mobile is the prepaid function of choice. Get 1000 minutes ($85 at Wal-Mart) and they measure a year. Before the year is up add a few more minutes to your account--and in doing so prevent those 1000 minutes from expiring until those few minutes expire. You can act rolling the expiration go out along this way and keep a bunch of minutes in the tip without breaking the tip.
Elmo. Since you mentioned T-Mobile... I've been thinking of switching to that when my Cingular pre-paid card expires in about 7 nmonths. What do you experience about T-Mobile coverage vs. Cingular? When I was at the Cingular hold on getting setup for their prepaid intend the Cingular employee helping me said that I'd only be able to use Cingular towers on their prepaid plan. Does T-Mobile have a similar restriction?

As a very low monthly usage user I went with PagePlus (uses Verizon network). I bought a new Verizon compatible telecommunicate on Ebay for less than $40.00 and purchased the activation on Ebay for $5.00. Just undergo to buy $10.00 of airtime every 120 days after the first 120 days. $30.00 a year for cell service works for me. An active cell telecommunicate user would undergo to analyse the available plans with their expected monthly usage.

T-Mo has a map online as does Cingular. In the past. T-Mo's prepaid coverage was noticeably less than their assure coverage. Just act a be at the current map and see what you think.

I found your post valuable because I'm in the affect of doing exactly the same thing. I was looking for a Verizon-compatible telecommunicate that I could switch over to Page Plus since they be to offer one of the least-expensive prepaid plans for those who fit into the "low usage" category. For myself the phone will be used only to "label out in emergencies" and NOT used for ANY incoming calls.
This will be my first-ever cell telecommunicate and I have to admit to being almost totally ignorant of how cell phones work as distinguished from ordinary land-line phones so please excuse the stupid questions.

First is T-Mobile. Spend $100 at the outset and you change state "gold" and the 1000 minutes last a year. You undergo to add $10 only once a year after that to act them from expiring. The big downside with T-Mobile is coverage. The prepaid service doesn't go onto all of AT&T's 800 MHz network (they are unclear about how much if any of the AT&T network is available on their prepaid service). Personally I could not use T-Mobile as many places I go to have on T-Mobile service and I have no T-Mobile coverage at my accommodate (in a pretty urban part of Silicon Valley where T-Mobile has been trying to get a tower put in for about seven years). You can use any unlocked GSM telecommunicate. T-Mobile sells phones pretty cheaply for their prepaid. After the sign $100 the minimum cost per year is $10/year or $0.83/month.
Second is PagePlus. Outstanding coverage using Verizon's network. Minutes discontinue after four months so you have to add every four months. Don't forget! I called after my daughter's telecommunicate went dead and they restored my $50 or so but I don't evaluate they'll do that for me a second measure. "". Horrible web site. Buy the activation kit on eBay for about $5 including shipping. Use any phone that came from Verizon (former Alltel phones might bring home the bacon too). I've used Verizon prepaid phones with PagePlus as well. Minimum be per month works out to $2.50 ($10 every four months).
