Tell me about non-contract cell phones...

The three or four major cell providers mostly work on long-term contracts, although they also offer prepaid services. There are also numerous secondary providers that use the major networks, but sell their own services at a discount, mostly billed monthly without long-term contracts.

Here's a dozen with generally good reputations:
Mint SIM
Ting
Republic Wireless
Cricket Wireless
US Mobile
Virgin Mobile
Boost Mobile
Straight Talk Wireless
Scratch Wireless
GoSmart Mobile
Consumer Cellular
FreedomPoP

Consumer Cellular in particular seems to be marketed to the gray-haired, make-it-easy set. (They also market a "GrandPad" tablet.) Anybody have any experience with any of them?
