Pay as you Go service:
Two available rates:
~ $0.25/minute ( per minutes charge)

An expiry date is given after refill, and if funds are not added before this date accumulated minutes will be lost.
Pick Your Plan service:

With Pick Your Plan service, an automatic payment must be established can with CC, debit card, or autodraft from a checking account ($1/month extra). If a payment is missed, there is a 3 day grace period after which the phone will be shut off and any balance forfeited.
FAQs:
Can I use any phone on this service?
Yes, so long as it supports standard Cingular frequencies. Blackberries can be listed, but will only have voice/SMS service as the Blackberry provisioning is only available on the Blackberry plans. 3g phones technically cannot be listed on an account, but you can use a Cingular 3g phone without any issues.
Can I get a prepaid phone unlocked by Cingular?
Yes, but you have to have it active on the account for 90 days.
What is the roaming capability of GoPhones?
Pay as you Go is limited to Cingular native coverage. Pick your Plan has limited roaming (on Cingular affiliates such as Edge Wireless).
Do * services work on GoPhones?
No, but you can dial *777# to get your cash balance. Balances for text messages/data if you have a limited plan can be accessed through OLAM.
How do I use OLAM on prepaid phones?

Pick Your Plan:

The default passcode is the last four digits of your cell phone #. The code here is the same code you will be asked for when calling Customer Service.
How do I change my rate plan?
Call 611 or the voice response unit: 1-800-901-9878 for Paygo, 1-866-499-7888 for Pick Your Plan. The first change is free, after that a fee of $10 may be applied (if it's being abused). Also, you cannot change the type of rate plan (go PYP->Paygo or vice versa) within the first 30 days of service.
What basic calling features are included?
All basic calling features are included such as caller ID, call forwarding, call waiting, 3-way calling, and voicemail. Any of these can be opted out of if you wish.
I if you know anything else needs to be added then feel free to post it here. Thanks
