Pre-paid fill up station

[nfotxn]

I use a pre-paid mobile phone mostly because I can't justify what works out to be a $50+/mo service once you add features that make a subscriptive service valueable. Might I also mention hidden charges like "system access fees"?

So the $5-25/mo I spend on my phone is quiet affordable but it could be more convienent. You see being in the late tee to early 20's demographic most of my larger chunks of spare change towards ammenities like drinklng and eating out. $10 is a pitcher of draft. $25 is a 12" double LP, import CD or two hot new singles!

I have my priorities dammit.

So here's my ideer: a kiosk in high traffic areas where I can throw change into my phone. A $1 coin is 3mins of air time, $2 coin therefore 6mins.

Isn't one of the benefits to the networks that they don't have to handle cash. If they did, their costs would go up, wouldn't they?

Well, the pre-paid cards still require cash. I guess they don't handle the cash directly. You figure the pay off would be greater than the cost of handling change? I'd think so.
