They do not include prepaid phone plans!

Prepaid is the only way to fly, with no bills or overages or other funky stuff.

I use Straight Talk. It’s unlimited for $45 a month, prepaid (so no bills) and on Verizon’s network… the best.

Unlimited talk and texts, plus 30MB of data, which is about 350 web pages. Fantastic deal.

It's available at http://www.StraightTalk.com

Additionally, BillShrink requires the login and password information for the customer's online wireless account which is a flagrant violation of many of the cell providers' terms of use, particularly Verizon. <br><br>In contrast, the online cell bill reduction company that I work for, Validas, offers a far more comprehensive and effective way to save through our website at <a href="http://www.fixmycellbill.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.fixmycellbill.com</a>. Our modifications to your plan are uniquely structured around your individual usage patterns; Validas works for you rather than the cell companies. Additionally, Validas tells you exactly how much money our changes to your plan would save you before you are committed to paying a cent. Compare your projected savings to the cost of the Validas service, and then only pay if Validas can save you more than our fees cost. Our cell bill audits start at five bucks, and the average consumer saves $450 annually with our bill modifications.

Very surprised to see how much coverage this is getting --- doesn't seem much different than <a href="http://www.indexcreditcards.com" rel="nofollow">IndexCreditCards.com</a> and other similar card comparison sites, except maybe with a slicker interface.
