I have an AT&T GoPhone U2800A prepaid cell phone. It says "3G" at the top left next to the signal bars, but it cost me $3 to check one mobile website (e.g., nbcnews.com mobile website). It is too freakin slow! I live in zip code 93906 which (according to the coverage map) should have the fastest 3G signal. It is a city with over 130,000 people and over 16 square miles.

You can get smartphones on PREPAID. The web browser on my smartphone is very fast.
