Prepaid Cellular drives me nuts!

I have a Virgin phone and though the service is fairly good, and is competitive with others in the industry, the tyranny of the night and weekend bonus minutes is a pain in the rump! I pay $34.95 per month for 300 anytime and 1000 night and weekend minutes. However if you use all of your anytime minutes your night and weekend minutes expire with them. So you have to be ever so careful about who you call during the day and you have to really stay on top of your minute situation. It is a bother. I am used to having a phone on an account with a large block of call time. Also doing what I do for a living I must use my phone, and I must have minutes. UUUUUUUGH it is quite the quandry! I have been looking over the options available to me since before Christmas and I have narrowed it down to either a Helio Heat or a Joi Phone digital phone. I haven't decided which. What would you recommend another cell phone or unlimited digital phone service?

I have a virgin phone as well, personally I just needed it for emergencies and I keep it off all the time unless I need to make a call. It's prepaid I have no bill but I chose to have no plan either, I just pay by the minute all the time. sounds to me like you use yours a lot, You should get something unlimited.

Unlike yourself, I do not have a home phone nor a phione at work that I can use to make phone calls. Both my boyfriend and I use cell phones and I have a digital phone on my computer from Yahoo. but Home phone is not something that we have or use. Virgin is one of the best options for cellular service.
