GoPhone is AT&T’s prepaid phone brand, after reviewing and using the GoPhone network for many years assessing the customer service and a wide range of phones, I have come to the decision that this is the best prepaid provider in the country. The only thing that I would say could be a major factor stopping someone from connecting with GoPhone might be the price. Our GoPhone Reviews cover many of the phones that are being offered at the moment.

Why is the price in many cases much more than other providers?
The price is probably higher than other providers like Tracfone and other MVNO’s, because the service is like driving a Ferrari, and other cheaper providers like driving a used car from the 80’s. Does that make sense? It simple is a the best service, with shops and call centers in the US that are always willing to help with any technical issues that may be experienced. So if service is something, you value the most, then seriously consider giving GoPhone a run. Remember it is prepaid so you have nothing holding you to the prepaid plan.
What is the coverage like?
The coverage is simply amazing and on par with Verizon in many cases, unless you use your GoPhone sim card in an iPhone, then you might have some call drops, but this isn’t an AT&T network problem.
We have reviewed a number of Smart phones and cell phone below so you can check them out. Some of the reviews are video reviews, which give an even more detailed look at the handsets.
