subject: Prepaid Cell Phones Are The Wiser Choice [print this page] The advent of smartphones such as Apples iPhone and others really pushed the limits of mobility. A mobile phone is no longer just meant for calling. There are a whole lot of other things you can do with it, and with the plethora of apps that are available out there, the possibilities are endless.
Therefore, when you go for a mobile phone plan, you need to figure out the call charges as well as the data charges that are applicable since you will be downloading a lot of apps for sure. In the initial phase of the smartphone era, companies such as AT&T etc. had contract cell phones. These cell phones are cheap with the rider that you have to stay with the service provider for at least 2 years. Of course, that gives the service provider the liberty to have expensive call rate and data rate plans to cover its costs.
Thus, what looks cheap on the outset isnt exactly cheap in the long term. However, there is a solution to that- Prepaid Cell Phones. As the name suggests, prepaid cell phones are phones which allow you to pay as you go. There are definite advantages of these mobile phones compared to the contractual agreement:
You are not bound by any contract- You are free to choose any service provider you wish to.
You have the freedom to leave the service provider midway- Contrary to the contract cell phones, you dont need to pay a fee to leave a service provider. If you are not happy with the services, you can leave the provider on the fly.
Of course, they are cheaper- If you compare plans of contract cell phones and pay-as-you-go mobile phones, the latter would always turn out to be cheaper.
The price difference between the two plans is what has made Cheap Sprint Phones a reality. There are a lot of discounted phones available on Sprint and other networks, such as Discounted HTC Phones, discounted iPhones etc. And they are cheap in the real sense of the word.
