Get The Best Prepaid Mobile Plan

Convenient prepaid mobile plans abound, but depending on the one that you will choose

you may end up saving a lot of money or spending much more than you thought. This guide will tell you what to look fro, and which pitfalls to avoid.

Make no mistake - there are in fact big differences between one prepaid mobile offer and the next. Often these differences are hidden in the contract's fine print or disguised by the operator's advertising, but don't let yourself be fooled by this and read on to find out about the main distinguishing points.

When choosing the phone itself, you can go for a basic model, or for a high-end multimedia or business handset, depending on your needs. The main drawback of prepaid mobile contracts is that you will have to fund the handset yourself upfront, the operator will not give you any discounts. But even taking the price of an expensive phone in account, in the end you will spend less.

Prepaid mobiles work by there being a credit sum that you need to pay in advance, and you can then call as long as the credit is positive. You can usually recharge different credit amounts. But you need to be aware of the fact that recharging less frequently, but for bigger amounts, will often result in gaining added perks that will make you save money in the long run.

That said, bear in mind that prepaid mobile credit expires. You need to know when your credit expires, and if it's about to do so you can take advantage of a feature called rollover. This means that if you add some credit, the old credit's expiration date will become the same as for the new credit.

If you phone a lot but not during normal office hours, for instance because at that time you are at school, work, or at home, you should check out off-peak prepaid mobile rates. These can be a great money-saver if you mostly call in the evening or on Saturday and Sunday.

Some carriers offer cheaper international calls than others. And for US prepaid mobile carriers, not all have the same prices for long distance calls. These rates are usually buried in the fine print, but make sure that you compare them across operators.

There are several other points that you may want to check out in the fine print, depending on your usage pattern, such as internet connection price of voicemail calls, or cost of prepaid mobile content such as ringtones and music videos.

The main lessons to bear in mind are that you need to know your expected type of prepaid mobile usage to be able to save, and that comparing and contrasting offers will allow you to find the most appropriate prepaid mobile for you.
