    They should remove unlimited voice calls and make everyone using the phone network pay by the minute. It would eliminate robodialing instantly.

      I wish they would bring back prepaid/pay as you go service. I want a number where I can receive/send an occasional call or text without having to pay a monthly contract.

        mint is great (if you dont mind tmobile), hard to beat $15/m for unlimited txt talk. the base data has gone up a few gb 6? but i never really use it

          It seems like everyone is missing the “pay as you go” aspect. I don’t want to pay $15/month. I want plop down $X and pay per minute/sms until it runs out.
