subject: Prepaid Plans Offer Flexible and Affordable Cell Phone Service [print this page] In the past, people tended to associate prepaid phones with drug dealers and terrorists; however, companies today are eliminating that negative stigma by offering the industry a new spin on this service. Consumers who are tired of unmanageable monthly bills and unreasonable contracts can find relief by switching to prepaid.
A recent article in the New York Times talks about the rise of no-contract cell phone plans and why prepaid cell phone service is growing at a much quicker pace than traditional postpaid plans.
One of the biggest complaints of traditional cell phone carriers is that they require customers to sign lengthy contracts with significant early termination fees (ETF). Prepaid cell phone plans, however, don't have any binding contracts or credit checks and customers can choose from two convenient options:
Flat rate monthly plans with various options for the amount of voice minutes, text/picture messages and data usage.
Pay-as-you-go plans in which payments are made in advance and accounts are replenished as necessary.
These no-contract options are much more affordable than traditional postpaid plans, and their flexibility makes it easy for customers to find the ideal plan for their situation.
Whether cell phone customers want tons of talking and texting capabilities or simply require a few minutes of usage each month, they can find a plan that has just what they need without having to worry about paying for unnecessary "extras."
Today's prepaid cell phone companies have made affordable cell phone service possible. They work hard to provide quality service, great coverage and low prices. These companies are redefining the way people think about prepaid cell phones, and the average consumer is reaping all the benefits.
