- The "Pick Your Plan" Go Phone plan allows customers to prepay on their cell phone plan, but bills them monthly, and allows for some features that the other Go Phone plan does not have. If you have the "Pick Your Plan" Go Phone plan, you can expect to prepay for your whole month instead of receiving a bill in the mail. There are four different types of sub-plans available on "Pick Your Plan," which let you customize the number of minutes and text messages you get each month, as well as what type of data plan you are on. This type of plan must be paid for online or at a Cingular store and cannot be funded with phone cards, unlike the Pay As You Go plan.
- This Go Phone plan is a typical prepaid phone plan, in which you are required to purchase phone cards to "fill up" your phone plan. There are also options to prepay for your plan on the Go Phone website. The most important thing to remember about this plan is that you must pay for all of your airtime up front, and you will not receive a bill of any type. If you run out of minutes, you will not be able to use your phone to place or receive calls. Three types of sub-plans are available for the "Pay As You Go" Go Phone plan. These different plans offer various benefits and disadvantages depending on how you use your phone, and it is important to choose which sub-plan you want up front so that you are not surprised by the amount of minutes that are taken out of your account. These plans have various charges for voice calling, text messages and data usage.
