In this weak economy, more and more prepaid providers are winning market share in the cut throat business of cell phone communication.
As people increasingly look for ways to trim the fat out of their expenses, they become more open to “alternative” prepaid cell phone plans that give them more control over the call time they use and purchase. May of these plans, like the ones from Tracfone and Jitterbug (which is designed for seniors) are very simple and have limited add-ons.
There are almost two camps of cell phone users out there right now. One is the smartphone set who want to essentially run their lives from their cell phone/PDA/personal computer. The other group is the more frugal person who wants to save a little bit of money on their cell phone bill. Of course, there are teens in the middle and that’s why Boost Mobile is around with their unlimited monthly plan.
Prepaid plans have emerged as a viable option for people who do not live on their cell phones.
