What Prepaid cellphone/carrier is the best?

Lemme jump in here for a sec. Bought my phone from an independent retailer. Paid cash and was never asked for any ID, nor asked to fill out anything. He assigned a phone number, even asked me which prefix I preferred.
So the other day, I stopped into a Cingular Store (corporate) to P/U some minutes. The guy pulls up my number on the computer and asked me if I was ____ _____. I have no idea where that name came from. Maybe it belonged to the last owner of the number OR maybe the retailer assigned a fictitious name to the acct. Anyway I said no, that's not my name. He shrugged and put the minutes on the phone w/o caring about any corrections.
But let me reiterate. I never showed any ID nor supplied my name with the phone. It's completely untraceable to me.

Not the issue, I am sorry to say.
What you want to avoid is some smart forensic fellow, hired by your wife's divorce attorney [if it comes to that], getting the LUD's of the cellphone and connecting the numbers called and received on it to a series of prostitutes. Which said lawyer will than use in the proceedings to prove what a bastard you have been and why your soon to be ex is entitled to everything you own.
Of course, we play the game with the intention that it never comes to the point where our wives, which I am sure most of us love, might divorce us. Still and all, "Plan B" is a must in this stupidity we involve ourselves in.

My 2 cents for what it's worth. I do not have a prepaid but did purchase one for someone. Net 10. No problems of any kind with it and the calls are 10 cents per minute. I believe the other carriers are more expensive per minute. However, i just saw one at Walmart...5 cents per minute and the phone was about $40. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of it. First time i had seen this one though.
