Below is a comparison of Net 10 with AT&T 

Plans:
Net 10 Non-Contract, Prepaid – with no extra fees.
(Choose:  prepaid month-month --- or automatic refill from bank account.)
Unlimited Domestic
$55/mo ($50 with auto-refill plan)  Includes unlimited U.S. calling & texting, +Web access
Unlimited International
$65/mo ($60 with auto-refill)  Includes unlimited U.S. calling & texting, Int’l calling, +Web access
        (Save $5 on each of the above by auto-refill using bank or credit card)

$25/mo   Includes 1000 (talking) minutes. 

NOTE: 1000 seems like a lot of minutes but the minutes can also be used for texting, International calling & Web access, all for only $25.  This is the cheapest plan available anywhere, 2.5 cents per minute.
(Remember, texting, international calling & web access, they all use up minutes faster than just taking).

COMPARE THE ABOVE TO AT&T
This is what you would see if you went to AT&T
Non-Contract, Prepaid     GO Phones:
These plans are only available if you buy their cheap GO phone or bring your own phone.
Smartphones:
$65/mo+    Includes U.S. calling & texting, Int’l texting, Web with 1GB (max) data (you pay if it goes over)  Add $5 for International calling
Basic non-smartphones:
$50/mo+     Includes unlimited U.S. calling & texting, no web access
$25/mo+     Includes 250 minutes U.S. calling & texting, no web access
       For both of the above, add $5 for International calling

If you want to buy an IPhone at a cheap price from AT&T…
You MUST get a 2 year contract.
Cheapest option:
450 minutes/mo: $80 ($40 for talking +$30 for data +$10 for Int’l calling), plus 20 cents/ every text.
Also, all contracts require activation fee; plus $35.
There will also be a $500 deposit (without a Social Security Card> requires having a job)
And, there is a cancellation penalty if you leave and end the contract early.
