Here's the Net10 plan description:

The Plan

The unlimited plan used to cost $80, which was okay when it was first introduced. In 2009, however, many companies brought out much cheaper unlimited plans.

Net10 Coverage is great, plus their plans always keep things simple, so it’s exciting that they’ve re-introduced their plan at the lower price points of $50 (on all phones) and $30 (on select phones when you sign up for auto-refill). The $30 unlimited option is probably the best value around right now on a no-contract phone.

Unlimited Calls

You can talk as much as you want at any time of the day or night.

Unlimited Texts

You can send and receive all the text and pictures messages you want.

Unlimited Web and Email

You have unlimited access to Net10’s mobile web offerings. With their basic phones, this means you can go to a select few web sites such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. This means you can check your Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail accounts. You can check your other email accounts through these three accounts if you have POP access to your email. If you have their advanced phones such as the new Android handsets, you have full HTML access and can even watch YouTube videos and use tons of apps.

The Phones

Initially there were three special Net10 Unlimited phones available, the LG 600g, the Samsung R401g and the Motorola EM326g.

Now, you can put any Net10 phone on the unlimited plan. You can do this online by buying an unlimited airtime card and activating it on your phone. Note, this may wipe out any minutes you currently have on the pay as you go plan, so you may want to use those up before activating the new card.

Miscellaneous

International Calls

The Net10 Unlimited plan appears to still be incompatible with international calling as there is no way to charge separately for them.

If you want to make international calls on an unlimited plan, you should consider Straight Talk Unlimited where you can buy international long distance airtime separately and still get unlimited minutes for domestic calls.

Should you get Net10 Unlimited?

Net10 came out on top in 2009 in the J.D. Power prepaid survey, so you have a good chance of being pleased with their service.
