First, decide your wireless calling needs.
If your needs for cellphone service is for emergency purpose, then a prepaid plan is the best plan for you, so you only pay as you use the service, instead of paying a fixed monthly fee regardless you use it or not.
If your monthly cellphone usage is limited, a prepaid plan is also optimal for you because most of the postpaid plans have a high minimal monthly minutes, regardless you use it or not.
If you talk a lot, then an unlimited prepaid plan is probably the best so you won't be charged with the excessive overage fees.

Third, shop around and compare prices.
Once you decide a prepaid plan is good for you and has set your eyes on a carrier, don't simply go to that carrier's retail store or website to make the purchase. Instead, do further research, because most carriers nowadays offer MVNO services, meaning another company rents the carrier's network at wholesale rate and resells the service to you at a deep discounted price. For example, Verizon Wireless' MVNO Page Plus offers the best prepaid plans in the U.S. Its unlimited talk and text plan is only $39.95 a month on the Verizon network. Its other prepaid plan could be as low as less than 5 cents a minute, and the unused minutes could carry over for 4 months or much longer period.
