Yeah, four months is about as short as I'd tolerate in terms of having
to do refills. I can't imagine having to do them every sixty days.
PagePlus is one of the easier ones to refill, just call them and they
re-up your account, without having to enter any PIN numbers, or buy the
card directly from their web site (which does require a PIN number IIRC).

On the one occasion when I missed the refill date, I called them and
they restored $50 worth of minutes I had lost. I doubt if the large
carriers would have been nice enough to do that.

Always look at the big picture, coverage, cost, and hassle.
