Our review
 

Cingular introduced GoPhone in 2006 to give consumers the benefit of wireless phone service with no annual contracts, no credit checks, and no deposit requirements.  GoPhone offers two programs, Pick Your Plan and Pay As You Go. 

With Cingular Pick Your Plan programs you establish monthly automatic payments for service and use the balance on your account for voice minutes or other features.  Pay As You Go allows for you to pay in advance for what you need.
