What are prepaid or pay as you go cell phones
Prepaid phones are used by people who prefer total control over their wireless bills and who don't use a cell phone on a regular basis. With these plans you prepay for your airtime and when talk minutes are up you can buy additional ones easily. With the increased competition among prepaid wireless providers, these pay as you go plans come with many features included such as voicemail or text messages. The main downside of prepaid vs one year contract plans is the nicer and most of the time free phone that comes with the latter.
Advantages of prepaid cell
- No term contracts
- No monthly bills
- Pay for minutes only
