Net10 Unlimited Plan

by Matt
(Gilbert, AZ USA)

I have heard about a promotion from Target for Net10 Unlimited for $50.00 per month. There is even a website called net10unlimited.com and it looks like only certain phones qualify?? Is this true? What sort of roaming agreements does Net10 have with other carriers? It looks promising and it looks to have better coverage than Straight Talk. Thanks.

 Net10 is GREAT
by: Rocky

Net10 is awesome. I get that people are skeptical when switching over to prepaid, believe me I was too, but once you give it a shot... it is totally worth it in the long run. The savings each month are so great along with the coverage too. You just can't beat Net10. It even offers you a chance to win extra cash in a contest at Net10laughoff.com.. its a HOOT!

 Aggravated long term customer.

Been using net10 unlimited service for a few years now. I have to get a new cell phone. I called Net10 to find out where I can get the net10 unlimited phone. I was advised that they are only sold at target. I go to target and the net10 unlimited cell phones have been pulled from the shelves. I even went to the extent of having friends in several other states go to their local target and see if it was sold there. I cant find this phone anywhere!

 Net10 Prepaid Unlimited Replenishment
by: PrepaidWirelessGuy

I hear you! I think there are two general reasons why they take that approach. First, because it's usually less costly for prepaid wireless providers to take credit and debit card transactions than it is to sell topup via retailers, dealers, etc. For example, the margin and/or transaction fees are usually lower to take direct credit/debit card transactions. This lower cost allows them to have a greater profit margin, which in turn enables them to offer very high value plans like their prepaid unlimited offer.


Secondly, it takes a lot of work, both from a retailer and dealer perspective, as well as from a technology point of view. It takes a lot of system technology, processes, and relationships to support topup products that may be unique from their other PAYG topup cards.


I expect that if they're able to continue their prepaid unlimited program, Net10 will eventually allow non-credit/debit card transactions (i.e. cash) to be compatible with this plan!

 Wrong information
by: Anonymous

Targets net10 network is not ATT. Yes! prepaid net10 phones uses ATT but the unlimited plan only available at target uses T mobiles network. So if you get good signal from T mobile you might like this plan. I do not get good signal from T mobile but I do from ATT. It's my understanding that in some parts of the country they might use a few ATT towers for access because Tracfone and net10 use mostly att for all their prepaid services except for the unlimited plan. ATT is too greedy on the cost of sharing their tower thus T mobile got the business. ATT uses their go phone unlimited on their networks towers but don't include the partners towers with the prepaid plan. You will understand when you compare coverage maps for prepaid unlimited plans. In my opinion Net10 offers the most for your money as Straight talks phones stink and cannot be reused on other networks period. Net10 phones are GMS and possibly can be reused. where as Go phone can be used on other GSM networks once unlocked. So ATT works well but has a limited coverage area. Net 10 has a better coverage area but the phones need to be unlocked if you move and ST phones are useless except on ST. Over all Net10 give the best service coverage if you get good home signals

 Net10 Unlimited having system problems
by: Asia

I purchased a Net10 Unlimited phone from Target but after two weeks, I'm still unable to enroll in the unlimited plan. They told me they're having a system error (something to do with the towers recognizing the phones) and it will take 24-48 hours to resolve. However, every time I call they tell me the same thing and to give them another 24-48 hours. Anyone else having issues?

 NET10 Unlimited
by: CarlM

The other difference is that NET10 uses mostly the AT&T network, whereas Straight Talk uses the Verizon network. If AT&T is stronger in your home area (like mine) then NET10 is the better option. When Straight Talk came out I was so jealous, I'm really glad Tracfone released unlimited on NET10 too. I won't use anything else!

 Net10 Unlimited Phones
by: PrepaidWirelessGuy

I believe they're only available at Target. There's talk about it being available online, however, I only see the ability to activate the phones online, but not purchase them.


I would think that any of Net10's GSM phones could work, but they specifically identify only three available phones. Perhaps these Net10 Unlimited phones are programmed with different roaming rights than their other phones(?). Time will tell whether any Net10 GSM phone will work. If anyone has had a chance to test this, definitely please let us know!

 Net10 Prepaid Unlimited Plan at Target
by: PrepaidWirelessGuy

Yes, Net10 announced/launched on 2/1/10 that they're offering a $50 unlimited plan available at Target. It sure beats the previous offer that they had!


You can check out their coverage map on the website; it looks quite good. Net10 is an MVNO on the AT&T network. Net10 is owned by TracFone, and TracFone is behind the Straight Talk offer. TracFone has had a multi-brand strategy to address different markets. They also offer the SafeLink free cell phone service for income eligible households. We're starting to see Boost Mobile also take a similar approach now that they have Virgin Mobile, as well as their own version of SafeLink called Assurance Wireless.


Anyway, back to your question. Yes, the Net10 offer appears to be real. The only thing to consider is that it appears as though you need to have a credit/debit card setup on autopay in order to participate in the program. i.e. They don't appear to be currently offering topup/replenishment cards. So it's a slightly different demographic, but for those people with a credit/debit card, it sounds like a good option worth considering!
