benefits are strong signal and the fact that you can use it anywhere, even internationally. That, and the $19 price which doesn't exist UNLESS you connect to wifi. It's part of their terms of...

Depends on how much traveling you do. Consider on republic wireless $19 a month plan - unlimited text, minutes, and data on wifi and uses sprint.

PagePlus. It runs on the Verizon network and has some great prices, 50 bucks for an unlimited plan, I believe. http://pagepluscellular.com

why would you want that unless A: their service is horrible or B: they give you incentive (like free minutes while on wifi)?

wtf is with this "data on wifi" - yes you get data on wifi, but why are they advertising it as if they are somehow involved in that process?

If you're using an out-of-contract phone that has no cell plan attached, you're correct. That feature is the same. The difference is that $19 gets you 1)service in case you don't have constant...
