Verizon prepaid not very economical

I tried the Verizon prepaid plans (got sick of cell contracts quite a while ago) but found that even though they offer great network coverage, they are still too expensive.
My typical cell usage comprised of a few short duration calls on most days of the week. None of the plans really suited me. Both the 25c-a-minute & the 99c daily-use plans work out expensive very quickly.
With NET10 (my current provider) I get the low 10c a minute call rate WITHOUT a daily use charge. Which means I save roughly half of what my cell expenses would be if I did use Verizon.
They have nice phones and like I said their coverage is great but they seriously need to work on the pricing.
