No more counting minutes
with a prepaid cell phone
A prepaid cell phone
is the ideal route for someone on a strict budget
that needs the
convenience of a cell phone. With a prepaid phone you can only use
minutes that you have already paid for, so no surprise monster cell
phone bills.
The great thing about prepaid cell
phones is there are no credit checks to worry about. You can get a
prepaid cell phone without a credit check, credit card, deposit, or
signing a contract. You can even get a prepaid phone for free!
Prepaid cell phones are the number
one option for people with less than stellar credit ratings. Many
use the opportunity to maintain a consistency pattern with a cell
phone company and use that good track record as leverage to switch
to a monthly service plan.
The only downsides to choosing a
prepaid cell phone is the higher cost per minute and the lack of
certain features such as SMS (text messaging) and wireless web. You
also have to make sure the prepaid phone will cross over should you
opt for a monthly service plan later.
If you are not a power user or you
need a cell phone for emergency situations, like a phone to sit in
the glove compartment of you car in case of breakdown, prepaid is
definitely the option for you.
