Compare PAYG (Per Minute) Plans

Are you looking to compare PAYG plans?  Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) plans have a lot to offer even in this modern era of prepaid wireless where there are all kinds of feature rich, and all-inclusive plans.  PAYG can still meet the wireless needs of many people.  Please use the comparison chart below to find the plan/provider that you feel may best meets your needs.

I continually monitor the news and provider websites to catch any changes to plans and pricing, and update this table within a matter of days.  Please note that I've chosen the prepaid carriers that I believe have the most well-rounded and competitive offers, however, not every single one of them are listed.  There are others out there that aren't included in this PAYG comparison chart, however I have chosen not to include them because I don't believe they offer the best value, or simply are not big enough, or have not been around long enough to recommend.  To learn more about this plan type, please visit the Pay As You Go page.
