Benefits of $25:
* Lowest up-front cost.
* Lowest monthly rate for low usage ($2.08 / month).

Benefits of $50:
* Might save you a trip to the store, compared to $25.

Benefits of $75:
* $18.75 in bonus airtime.

Benefits of $100:
* $25 in bonus airtime.
* Free (cheap) phone. (Could be sold or kept as a spare.)
* Free SIM card with $5 airtime. (Could be sold.)
* Lowest rate for higher usage ($2.08 / month).

Based on my understanding, I'd only buy a $50 voucher if I had a long drive to the nearest 7-11 *and* I knew I'd be using right around $50 of airtime per year. If that didn't apply, then I'd either a) get the $100 and try to reduce the total cost by selling the SIM card and maybe even the phone, or b) buy the $25 and lollygag as long as possible to renew with another $25.

YMMV, and all that jazz.

I thought I would probably just get a $50 card since I still have about $30 left on my original card. The phone I got last year was the 2760. However lately I've been thinking that maybe a $100 card would be better but I wasn't sure if I had it all straight in my mind. Here goes. If I buy a $100 card by Dec. 13 I get a $25 bonus plus I get another FREE phone (one of the cheaper models). I could just hang on to this phone in case anything ever happened to the first one or does the $100 card only apply to the FREE phone that you get with it. Can someone help me out on this.
