Sigh...worse than just complicated terms with America Movil operations...there's an ongoing class action lawsuit against Carlos Slim's Straight Talk/Walmart monthly prepaid venture in the USA that claims "unlimited data" claims are false, etc. The plaintiffs are claiming they got throttled and/or data service cut off at random data usage levels. America Movil has agreements with all 4 major carriers in the US (some GSM and others CDMA). Fortunately I use MVNO's that are not currently owned by Carlos Slim.

More concerned with a prepaid provider having good coverage where I need it, reasonable prices, understandable service plans, and decent customer service.

Think in general prepaid contracts (in the USA MVNO's typically use the phrases "Terms of Service" to describe the legalese, and "Plans" to describe pricing and services included) are rather complicated and are subject to frequent change.

Fortunately stiff prepaid MVNO competition in the USA has helped lower the price per minute on calls...although prepaid data service tends to be more expensive than postpaid offerings on a per gigabyte basis.
