Speakout review (contest) | Reviews | Consumer forum

Pros:
1. $25 topups last a full year
2. GSM, can use any GSM phone
3. Long distance rates are awesome, just 10c/minute more than local - even contract plans often charge 30c/minute on top of using airtime minutes for LD, with speakout it's 30c/minute total, including airtime

Cons:
1. No online stuff at all; can't top up, view history, view balance, or anything else through a web interface
2. Charge for incoming texts, at least some of the time
3. The only way to top up is to visit a 7-eleven, you can't pay through credit card on the phone or set up automatic top ups
