Step 1
Pay toward the hybrid plan's minutes. Usually it's about $30 or $40 a month. Some cell phone carriers also offer a deal if you pay for a year's worth of minutes at once.
-
Step 2
Keep your minutes charged. Make sure you keep an eye on how much your talking. If minutes run out on a hybrid plan, you won't be able to use the phone until you make a payment.

Step 3
Know the rules. Each carrier handles it differently if your minutes run out. Some immediately disable the account and you lose your phone number. Others freeze the phone number and account, giving you a grace period. And, some deduct the monthly payment from a credit or debit card.
