PREPAID WIRELESS
prepaid wireless service allows you to buy minutes in advance of use.
It is a good solution for those who want to budget their phone usage,
or for customers who may have credit issues or do not feel comfortable
providing information for a carrier credit check.
prepaid wireless is not as cost efficient as you might think. Even though much of the market focuses to teens and people with bad credit or no credit at all, companies are forcing users to purchase a startup package (the phone, charger and some minutes) the hardware to compensate for not buying a package deal spanning over 2 to 3 years. Don’t forget that users will most likely be paying a premium for prepaid minutes.
prepaid wireless plans and the phones offered for these plans also may
provide less technological advancements than monthly bundled packages.
If you’re using the phone strictly for emergencies, prepaid wireless is
not what’s most practical. Normally most plans have minutes that expire
in a finite time delay (usually 15 to 60 days) so you have to be alert
to think about renewing your service or you will be in a bind.
