don't bother with net10

By: alan brown on Monday, July 13, 2009
From san rafael CA (United States)
Experience: 6 Months
Pros: cheap

Cons: "no service".. "emergency only".. spam.. customer service takes a long time

Summary: If it WORKED, it would be a pretty good deal! I used it for several months, but finally got tired of "no service" or "emergency only" (what's THAT supposed to mean?) message instead of being able to make a call. This would happen while standing in a mall parking lot, beside a freeway, at the airport, pretty much everywhere you could reasonably expect to have service, and where other people are using their cellphones with no apparent problem. Net10's coverage maps are a joke! Customer service is an adventure.. takes a very long time to get anything done. AND they spam you both on your landline and in your email when you haven't renewed your service. My suggestion is: forget net10, and get AT&T's go-phone. Similar prepaid service, only theirs actually WORKS.
