I have seen the KIC PrePaid pricing options and I either do not understand
or I am reading too much into it... On the plans that say lets say .10/min /
$1 weather it would be for the nights or the weekends...

Are you paying a $1 daily access fee for unlimited minutes that day OR are
you paying that $1 daily access fee plus .10/minute OR are you paying
.10/minute upto that $1 and then the rest of that day is unlimited? Any help
would be appreciated...Thanks

The second- $1 plus 10-cents/min. Therefore that plan costs you
$30/month minimum. It's designed for high-volume users. Arguably
it's cheaper than Verizon's new plan (25-cents/call plus
10-cents/min.) IF you average more than 4 calls/day.

I hope I am reading that wrong...Are you saying that I will pay that amount
with cingular or are you saying I will only pay that if I were to use it
everyday? I assumed that I would only pay the $1 access fee on the days
that I were to use the phone in addition to the price per minute. Another
words if I only use the phone 1 day out of the month for a 1 minute call it
would cost me 1.10...correct or no? Thanks just looking for clarification.

Therefore that plan costs you > $30/month minimum. It's designed for

No- $1/day, used or not.

Where are the pricing plans explained on their website? That sounds
even worse than Tracfone!

Thanks to this thread that now i understand $1-a-day plan.

Last time i read Cingular's KIC prepaid plan brochure, it seemed
like a regular monthly plan. Since then i had been searching for a
sane prepaid plan w/o insane fees/charges until i found Tracfone[0]
(Washington DC area).

[0] Though i myself would have preferred AT&T's Free2Go plan but
they don't have TDMA service, only GSM, here.

Don't let my phone know that. It might stop working if it learns that a
TDMA phone on the ATT Free2Go plan is not supposed to work in the
Washington DC area.
