Pay as you go cell phone plans?

Do any of you have experience with "Straight Talk" or "Net10"? Do you like it or not? What has your experience been like?

we have straight talk right now and havent had any problems only had it for a month though. Their customer service is great though, my hubby smashed our phone in the car door and totally crushed the phone and they replaced it for free with no problem at all, even paid the shipping to send the new and old ones back and forth

It has been a long while since I had a contract phone cough...1994...cough) and wasn't sure of my credit, since I had a falling out with Cellular One (to you young kids out there, it's called Cingular today hahaha)...so I decided to get a Blackberry Curve through Boost Mobile...and it was the worst experience I have EVER had...the worst couple of months I had...I paid $60 a month to get the unlimited text talk and web plan...and it totally fuken sucked..the calls went through ok...but if you wanted to watch videos or use the web in any way....you're SOL..the slowest downloading time in the history of mankind...so many times I would go out to concerts, casinos, day trips or what have you..and if I had a moment of down time, I would try and check my email...or listen to a You Tube vid...and OMG...I wanted to thrown the damn thing so far it would be lost in time...I wanted to get rid of the damn thing so bad...till I found out it was an older trackball model..and found out the buyback value was $14..my mom later found someone willing to buy the phone from me to give to his gf for Christmas, so I got my money back cause they wanted a cheap phone...I later found out I was actually eligible to get a contract phone with only a $50 deposit and up to 3 lines...so I went for a Samsung Galaxy 4G phone....but T Mobile's service area sux ass...so I gave that back before the termination fee perioid would have kicked in...Verizon is supposed to be 4G in August upstate where I am, since we're a secondary market, since NYC, my former stomping grounds, already has 4G...so i'm looking at a Droid Charge or an LG Revolution...or even an Iphone...still doing my research...but omfg...at least with Boost Mobile...omfg...horrible...I would only recommend them if I REALLY hate the bastard!!! GRRRRRR

I have never had a pay as you go plan. But I am getting kinda tired of what I have now so I might just do it.

I have pay as you go, no point having a contract one seeing I hardly use it. I'm on T Mobile and probably spend about £20 a year on it.
