You may be wondering what all the hubbub is about prepaid cell phones. Well, at the end of the day, most people who use prepaid phones save money over their postpaid counterparts.
This statement is true, but you also have to keep in mind that certain phone users are meant for prepaid while other should probably stick with a contract phone.
If you need a super high-tech gadget you can pull out of your pocket or purse and instantly make an impactful status statement, then prepaid is probably not for you. In truth, pay as you go plans are generally for the more frugal user, who doesn’t live on the web and doesn’t constantly message their friends.
This is changing, however, as plans like Straight Talk from TracFone and Boost Mobile offer unlimited service to people. Both plans also provide unlimited web browsing, which is key. Unlimited text? Also key.
Clearly, the prepaid providers came to play.
