The prepaid segment of the wireless industry has been picking up steam. From the beginning of the year until now, quite a few big things have happened in the industry.
In addition to the fact that prepaid cell phones are now on more people’s radars because everyone is looking to cut down their bills however they can, several companies have taken steps to be more competitive and grab some new customers. Boost Mobile came into the fray with their monthly unlimited plan that gives users unlimited data usage, internet access, unlimited talk time, and text messaging for $50.
It’s a pretty competitive plan that’s also well-priced to compensate for a network that’s weaker and spottier than the “big four” wireless providers. For many people, prepaid makes sense, especially if they’re overpaying for minutes that they don’t use. The average cell phone user uses only 80% of the monthly minutes they pay for so they are losing money.
If you use your phone sparingly or consistently use around 300 minutes per month, then it may be worth your while to look into prepaid. Pull out your bills from the last few months and figure out just how much you user your phone.
