Anybody switched to T-mobile prepaid?

| A friend of work switched to T-mobile prepaid and from what I can tell
with my usage pattern it's much much cheaper. For one thing you don't
pay any taxes, fees and other stuff if you use prepaid.
Secondly, I don't use the phone much generally speaking for $100 is
suppose to get you 1000 minutes valid for a year. I'm not using
anywhere near my allowed minutes each month with Cingular/ATTWS and I
don't have any roll over either. I pay something like $80 a month for
two lines with nights and weekends.

We have 2 Tmo prepaid SIMs and I am convinced that I will spend less
money annually than the more than $600 I've been spending for VZW
contract service. On the latter, through June, I would have spent over
$300. On Tmo prepaid I'll have spent less than $200... Of course, this
depends entirely on each person's use of service (ie., minutes).

I switched my mother to T-Mobile prepaid after she got conned into
changing from AT&T TDMA to Cingular GSM. She doesn't use the phone much,
and was paying $50/month on Cingular, versus her old AT&T plan which was
$30. It works fine for her in South Florida, though it's not too great
in some of the places she travels to, such as Atlanta, and Silicon Valley.
