Contract
-
When buying a cell phone, providers hassle you with contract after contract. However, with a prepaid cell phone no contract is required. This also means that you avoid a credit check, making it a great option for those suffering from poor credit.
Monthly Bill
-
Instead of receiving a monthly bill of all the minutes and text messages you have used, a prepaid cell phone means you pay for the minutes and texts you want at the beginning of the month, in advance of using the time. Once you have used your allotted minutes or texts, the phone no longer sends or receives calls or messages.
-
Overage Charges
-
Because you pay the bill at the beginning of the cycle, the phone cuts off once all your minutes are used, overage charges never occur on a prepaid cell phone. You can only use what you have available, making this a great option for those who want to avoid these fees.
