Simple Freedom Cell Phones

Simple Freedom cell phones fall under the Alltel Wireless umbrella, offering customers a prepaid cell phone option to people who want to avoid having to give a credit card, having to through a credit check, or signing themselves to a lengthy multi-year contract. Unlike many other cell phone plans that have complex rates and restrictions, Simple Freedom cell phones keep things as easy and straight-forward as possible. In this way, Simple Freedom cell phones are perfect for light users, especially those who live in rural and suburban areas where service from some of the bigger names in the industry may be lacking.

Simple Freedom Cell Phones

Simple Freedom cell phones are exactly that: they are simple and they offer you great freedom. You don't need to sign a contract of any kind -- it is completely pay-as-you-go -- nor do you need to provide Simple Freedom (Alltel Wireless) with a credit card number. At the same time, you can't possibly expect to find the highest end mobile phones here, as they limit the selection to a small number of easy-to-use phones with very limited features. The entire service is designed to be simple. You will not find the LG Chocolate Phone or any powerful BlackBerry PDA phones available from Simple Freedom.

Simple Freedom cell phones are catering to people who do not use their phone much and to people who are on a tight budget. The pricing is very competitive. Simple Freedom cell phones can be found at such money-saving establishments as Wal-Mart and K-Mart, where the target clientele are people who know a good deal when they see it.

Simple Freedom Cell Plans and Rates

No need to worry about tiered rates, the difference between daytime and evening minutes, or any of those add-on features that can easily increase a bill well beyond what a customer was originally expecting. With Simple Freedom, everything is simple. There are no long distance charges, while caller ID, call waiting, and voice mail are all included. There are only two rates on Simple Freedom cell phones:

• 15 cents per minute for local calls
• 50 cents per minute for roaming

If you buy anywhere from $20 to $50 worth of airtime, that credit is valid for 60 days from the date of purchase, granting you access to the network during that time. When you purchase $100, that credit is now valid for 665 minutes and 365 days of access. This is probably the best option for light users who want to avoid having their service interrupted. Just top up the account when you need more time.
