Prepaid cell phones are usually preferable when the person either doesn't need a cell phone or when the person can't pass the credit check required for regular plan coverage. However, just because your service is prepaid doesn't mean you don't have all the advantages of billed service. Read on to learn how to customize a prepaid cell phone.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose a prepaid cell phone, and then customize it to make it your own. Most phones have the ability to receive the custom products, but pick a model that you can customize. Ask the sales representative about any features you want to download.

  2. Step 2

    Program-specific wallpaper to your phone by going to the extra features on your phone. Go to "Menu" and then scroll through the options until you come to "Extra." Each company may name this slightly differently, but "Extra" or "XL" should be part of the menu item name.

  3. Step 3

    Pick this option, and view available wallpaper. Click "Buy" if you want to buy it. The program immediately deducts from your account, so you need have enough money in your account to cover this purchase. Now the download begins, and the wallpaper saves in a folder on your phone. Go to the appropriate folder, and click the wallpaper icon to activate it.

  4. Step 4

    Select a specific screen saver for your phone by following the second step again, only this time choose "Screen Savers" instead of "Wallpaper." Customize your prepaid cell phone with you own screen saver.

  5. Step 5

    Add ring tones to customize your prepaid cell phone. Again, go to the "Extras" and this time select "Ring Tones." Buy the ring tone you wish. Download it onto your phone.

  6. Step 6

    Chat online with your prepaid cell phone. Again, go to "Extras" select "Chat" and download the application to your phone. Choose your screen name by following the easy on-screen instructions. Then begin chatting.

  7. Step 7

    Compare all these custom features to regular cell phone custom features, and you can find that you can customize your prepaid cell phone to do the same things as regular accounts. Enjoy using these features.
