There was a time when choosing a cell phone meant deciding on what phone, the plan rate, and how long you were willing to commit yourself to use the service. This was usually 2 yrs, on the average, and most people hated it. One of the things people hate most about those type of plans is, if you want to get a different phone, you also have to sign a new contract. For a long time, there were only a couple of providers who offered the pre-paid cell phone service. But now, virtually all the big name wireless providers offer some sort of pre-paid (pay as you go) service option!

Is a pre-paid cell phone right for you? Before deciding, you must consider how you will use the phone, and see if will fit your needs. Some of the benefits of a pre-paid cell phone service are: BENEFITS OF PRE-PAID SERVICE 1 No credit check, just pay for the phone and it’s yours! They give you some starter minutes, and you can buy more later on. 2 No long term contract – just buy more minutes or reload your account when you need to renew your service. 3 No deposit. 4 Change to a different phone anytime you want to.
