subject: Pay As You Go Phones Provide Affordable Connectivity [print this page] Pay as you go mobile phones have indeed galvanized the world of mobile telephony. There was a time when purchasing a mobile did not cost as much as paying monthly bills. Each individual was required to sign a contract with the phone company whose services he/she subscribed to. This contract would engage them in paying a fixed amount of money every month plus additional usage charges. This meant that even if you did not use the phone for one whole month- neither made a call nor used the text service- you would still have to pay a certain amount as determined and agreed upon by both parties in the contract signed previously! Commonly referred to as the Post-paid system, this was quickly declared inappropriate by many users. Instead of fitting into their budget, the exorbitant bills were shelling a huge hole into their pockets. More so, the call and SMS rates for these services were extremely high. The situation was turning out to be immensely horrendous for the customers. It was almost like being a necessary evil- you could neither avoid it, nor afford it!
