Low cost mobile phone plans are aimed to capture the potential market. In this respect, there is choice galore. Mobile companies such as Motorola V, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson are gaining popularity due to low plan costs.
12 months free line rental and pay as you go phone are two such plans that have been explained about below:
1. 12 Month Free Line Rental:-
In this, one has to enter into a contract for a year with a mobile network service provider.
Initially, a fixed amount and a security fee need to be deposited.
There are many benefits in this plan- reduced call rates, few number of free SMS, free talk time, free weekends rates, night time calling and others.
Along with this, you get a free mobile hand-set. This means that you dont have to pay the full cost of the cell phone but a fraction of it as a deposit amount. One can also replace it with new hand-set if it is covered under the plan. Obviously, if the phone gets damaged, you would have to bear the cost.
This mobile phone plan is ideal for those who dream of high-end cellular phones but cant afford to buy one.
2. Pay As You Go Phone (also known as Payg phone) :-
In this, the user buys a phone card from the market.
Then, he contacts and signs up with the service provider whose number is given in the manual. You have to go the representative whose the serial number is printed on the card and he will give you your cell number.
Unlike the 12 month free line rental, here you have to buy your own hand-set. You can also purchase it from Target and Amazon.
After you get your number, you have to fill the account with some credit balance to suffice for 90 days if you want to keep the number active.
If the talk time reduces to zero, then you have to again buy another phone card.
Herein, there are no contracts to sign.
Normally, the call rates are high than other mobile phone plans. The offers, if any, such as weekends free and night calling are for promotional purposes only.
This plan is suitable for youngsters who dont have a credit card and for those adults whose mobile usage is very less. Therefore, the high cost doesnt matter much.
Mobile phone plans such as the ones stated above have been helpful in spreading mobiles all over the world. Due to wide availability, prices will decrease and therefore, phones will reach more and more people.About the Author:
